9:45pm Sid & Nancy – Directed by Alex Cox Containing: Gary Oldman, Chloe Webb, Courtney Love 1986, 112 mins

In the late-70s punk rock gave people the wake-up call that the decade needed. The side effects of total anarchy are brilliantly captured in this morbid biography about Nancy and Sid’s passionate and totally disturbing relationship. Oldman embodies Vicious perfectly as we watch heroin slowly turn him into his own kind of “walking dead.” Lastly, Courtney Love co-stars in what has to be one of the most eerily ironic roles in cinema history.

“I have come here to chew bubble-gum and kick ass! And I am all out of bubble-gum.” Pro-wrestler “Rowdy” Roddy Piper does his best Kurt Russell impersonation in his ultimate fight against evil, brain-washing aliens who look and act exactly like the rest of the brain-dead society. One of the most subversive films ever made. Plus, the alley brawl is the longest fist-fight in film history! Come protected…wear your Ray-Bans at midnite!
