Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! (1965) dir. Russ Meyer

Friday June 23 at 10.30 pm

What better way to follow up a John Waters film than with one of his favourite films of all time - the mighty 'Faster Pussycat'!

This torrid tale is allegedly 'an ode to the violence in women'; particularly pneumatic women in tight leather jumpsuits. These women talk dirty and fight dirtier - don't miss this trash classic!

Guest Cocktail for 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!': The Bitch Slap







Other stuff we hope to bring you in the not-too-distant future:

Eraserhead (1977) dir. David Lynch

David Lynch: messing with minds since 1977. We have no idea what this is about. There are some roast chickens that come alive and a tiny woman who lives behind a radiator. 'Nuff said.

Rock'n'Roll High School (1979) dir. Allan Arkush

A rollicking good time is to be had with this Roger Corman produced tale of 'teen' rebellion. Join the oldest teenagers alive as they fight for their right to listen to The Ramones. Awesome soundtrack and lots of hot live footage of da' bruddas.

The Honeymoon Killers (1970) dir. Leonard Kastle

Martha is an grumpy, obese nurse who lives with her mother. Raymond is an ageing lothario with a bad hairpiece. But when they met, it was murder! Based on a true story.

Koyaanisqatsi (1983) dir. Godfrey Reggio

Filmed over five years, this incredible film simply begs to be seen on the big screen. Nature and humans collide, and the results are not pretty. 'Koyaanisqatsi' also features a hypnotic score from celebrated avant-guard composer Phillip Glass . Don't miss!

Performance (1970) dir. Donald Cammell and Nic Roeg

When Mick Jagger is not mincing around on stage with The Rolling Stones, he can be found in either very good films or (mostly) very bad ones. This is definitely his best, but is not exactly a stretch. Jagger plays Turner; a reclusive rock star who is holed up with a couple of dolly birds in a London flat. A Kray-esque gangster in need of a hide-out crashes the party and before you can say 'subtext of confused personal and sexual identities', things get a lot strange. Includes one of the best things The Stones ever did in 'Memo From Turner'. Nic Roeg made nothing but masterpieces in the 1970s and this is one of them.

Night of the Hunter (1955) dir. Charles Laughton

Gorgeous cinematography, Robert Mitchum in his finest role, Shelly Winters at her blowsy best, and a saintly Lillian Gish. An absolute classic.

New York Doll (2005) dir. Greg Whiteley

The popular hit of last year's Sundance Festival, 'New York Doll' is a moving and hilarious tale of regret and redemption. At 55, Arthur Kane is an ex-member of celebrated proto-punks The New York Dolls. He is also a recovering alcoholic and recent Mormon convert, scratching a living working at their Family Centre library in LA. When Dolls fanatic Morrissey arranges a 30 year reunion of the band in London the film follows Kane as he reunites with his rock'n'roll past and his estranged band members. Features interviews with Iggy Pop, Don Letts, Mick Jones, Chrissie Hynde and various other punk luminaries.
