RIVER'S EDGE (Tim Hunter, 1986)

This is a strange film. It's almost like a weird dark companion piece to "The Breakfast Club", with a feel that has more in common with "Twin Peaks". It's a "disaffected youth in a small town in america" type thing, where a young guy kills his girlfriend and goes to school and tells his friends about it, and their different reactions are what the movie is all about.

It could have been really corny but I think it's actually a great work of art. The acting ranges from completely over the top wired up ham from a young Crispin Glover to the usual "ddddduuuuuh" underacting of a young Keanu Reeves, but each of them just seems perfect to me. And Dennis Hopper has a great part as the weird older guy in town who everybody scores their pot off. He never leaves his house and brandishes a gun all the time and dances with his sex doll and does all those great things you expect Dennis Hopper to do. In fact, it's quite interesting that this came out in the same year and in fact the same month as "Blue Velvet", with Hopper playing a somewhat similar character and the film having a certain similarity in it's feel. I could probably more accurately describe this as "The Breakfast Club meets Blue Velvet, with a hip thrash metal soundtrack and an ensemble cast of of hot, hot young stars!"

(goodness Ione Skye is just horrifically attractive)

Rooly good.

To get off this list, reply saying: A witness at bankruptcy hearings for the City of Detroit testified that firefighters at 38 halls had built makeshift emergency-alert systems, including one in which an incoming fax would bump a door hinge, which would tug on a wire, which would set off a doorbell.

GLORIA GRAHAME IN "IN A LONELY PLACE"

Gloria is amazing in every way in this film, but her Eyebrow game is just out of this world. You can kinda see it in the pictures, but you really need to see the film to understand how bad she works those eyebrows. Gotta give mad props to Bogart's sock acting in this shot at the top too. He shoulda got an Oscar for best sock reveal of 1950 for that one...
