Question
QUESTION: i am actually looking for the title of three movies, but i will start with one questions at a time.
the first movie is about a doctor who was driving with his duaghter and he somehow crashed the car.  She was blinded and he tried to restore her sight by transplanting the eyes of people or patients he abuducted and kept in a sort of dungeon. These people of course were left without eyes and somehow escaped to kill the doctor...i want to say that the doctor was maybe played by Tele Savalas
ANSWER: Hi Ileana,

The movie you are looking for is called "Mansion of the Doomed" made in 1976 starring Richard Basehart, Gloria Grahame, and Trish Stewart as Basehart's daughter. A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"An insane surgeon finds himself up to his armpits in eyeballs after guilt prompts him to begin removing the eyes of abducted people in hopes of performing transplants on his daughter who lost her own in a car-accident he caused."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076361/

"Mansion of the Doomed" is currently available on DVD on eBay for as low as US$2.13, as well as for sale at both Amazon.com and VideoUniverse for $6 or $7.

QUESTION: WOW - THANKS!
The other two titles i am looking for are for the following"
1) i think it starred Sandra Locke - it was about a woman with a group of men in the wilderness and she killed them one by one.  The last guys died in a cave it think. She played someone really innocent and seemed helpless, but she was killing these guys one by one (accident, cut throat, etc). I don't remember if she was assaulted, but if the movie involved CLint Eastwood, she probably was and i don't remember that part. It was early to mid 70's     

2) This one is about a vietnam vet that returns home... but he is really dead.  He died in the war somehow. He goes out with someone (myabe his girlfriend) and creeps them out - he starts to melt or ooze at some point...i dont remember the ending. I think he attemps to kill someone at some point and is creeping others out.  It was early to mid 70's  

Answer
1) The movie you're looking for sounds a bit like two movies. The first is 1983's "Sudden Impact" starring Clint Eastwood and Sondra Locke. The 2nd one sounds a bit like "I Spit on Your Grave" made in 1978. Plot summaries for both films from imdb.com follow:

Sudden Impact - "After destroying a case involving a crime lord, Harry Callahan is sent down to San Paulo to investigate the killing of a man found dead in a car. Jennifer (the killer of the man in the car) is murdering all the rapists who brutally raped both her and her sister 10 years ago, and she has returned to San Paulo to exact her revenge. Harry becomes inadvertently involved in Jennifer's own troubles during his investigations, all the while not suspecting she is the killer."

I Spit on Your Grave - "The film follows Jennifer, a writer who is working on a new novel and needs to get out of the city to finish it. She hires a riverside apartment in upstate New York to finish her novel, attracting the attention of a number of rowdy male locals. They catch Jennifer one day and strip her naked for the village idiot (Matthew) and rape her. Jennifer is later attacked and raped a further two times by the four degenerates, and her novel is also destroyed. But Jennifer slowly recovers and in her now-twisted, psychotic mind, she then begins to seek revenge on the four men who raped her."

Both movies are readily available on DVD from places such as Amazon.com, Video Universe, and eBay.

2) I'm pretty sure this movie is called "Deathdream" aka "Dead of Night" made in 1974, directed by the recently deceased Bob Clark (Porky's, Black Christmas). A plot summary from imdb.com follows:

"A young Soldier is killed in the line of duty in Vietnam. That same night, the soldier returns home, brought back by his Mother's wishes that he "Don't Die"! Upon his Return, Andy sits in his room, refusing to see his friends or family, venturing out only at night. The Vampiric horror is secondary to the terror that comes from the disintegration of a typical American family."
