Bonnie and Clyde The classic killer couple, this remains the one that set the standard for this type of film. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty starred in this tale of a Depression era couple that took to robbing banks. If you've ever taken a film class, you've seen the shoot out scene already. 1967 110 min Unrated
Cruel Story of Youth Director Nagisa Oshima's Japanese juvenile delinquent movie is an Asian offshoot of the James Dean genre. Mayo has fun hitching rides with business men and shaking them down when they hit on her. She and her boyfriend make it into a nice business until the police intervene. Love does not prevail in this Romeo and Juliet update and they must pay for their social indiscretions. The photography is good but the social pressures and taboos seem a bit obscure. 1960 Color Japanese with English subtitles Unrated
Love and a .45 Watty Watts (Gil Bellows) makes a habit of robbing convenience stores with an unloaded gun. He checks the I Ching to steel up for the task which he considers his personal art form. It was his grandfather who told him you only need 2 things in life, you guessed it "Love and a .45". Renee Zellweger is his underage girlfriend Starlene, in case you wondered what she did before she was famous (aside from Texas Chain Saw Massacre 6). Watty has a friend named Billy ('..a speed sucking psychopath') , whom he met in prison, and they occasionally commit crimes together. One of their robberies goes sour and when a clerk gets shot, their lives turn south. Star and Watty have to get out of Dodge, so like all good Texas outlaws, they head for Mexico. They get married enroute and honeymoon while on the lam. They are chased by a drug addled trio of low rent debt collectors as well as the full contingent of Texas law enforcement personnel. Peter Fonda is Star's father Virgil, " a handicapped suburban hippy". He gives them a 1000 mg Sandoz purple acid as a wedding present. This film tries too hard to be Tarentinoesque, but it has some highlights. Directed by C.M.Talkington 1995 Rated R 102 minutes
Natural Born Killers My aversion to Oliver Stone movies has kept me from renting this. There is an unrated directors cut that is a full hour longer than the 118 minute general release. In the spirit of thoroughness, will someone please send a review of this film so I don't have to watch it. Please.
