Thunder Road

This film no doubt planted the seeds for more good ol' boy action pics, but Mitchum's story and charismatic screen presence make Thunder Road a ride to remember.

Cecil B. Demented

Part action movie, part absurdist comedy, part protest piece, this film (based on Patty Hearst's abduction) has everything that makes a John Waters movie great.

Serial Mom

Serial Mom allows John Waters to explore his darkest interests, but his version of a suburban mother gone haywire is striking on a few levels.

Cry-Baby

Cry-Baby is definitely one of the better Fifties flashbacks, thanks to Waters' flair for visuals and a vivid memory of the Eisenhower era.

Chuck & Buck

Chuck & Buck is often disturbing, but remains watchable thanks to director Arteta's fine blend of urban horror and dark humor.

The Last Days of Disco

This Whit Stillman movie perfectly illustrates how white the disco fad became, but at times, the audience has to wonder if Stillman has any idea about the era that he's trying to capture.
