Before Natural Born Killers and Kids, Penelope Spheeris directed this incisive 1985 film about male aggression and class despair. Maxwell Caulfield (trying to recover from Grease 2) and Charlie Sheen (in his first leading role) are believable serial killers. A great soundtrack.

The son of big band leader Artie Shaw, Jonathan Shaw was also the owner of Fun City, one of the first tattoo shops in NYC. This documentary chronicles his years as a tattooist, drug addict, gun enthusiast and ex-pat. An interesting, yet long-winded chronicle of a pioneer of tattoo culture.

A series of four intertwined stories set in 1987 Oakland, CA. A campy, fun film filled with terrific cameos, film trivia and Pedro Pascal. It goes without saying that the corrupt nazis are the villains of the film. Unfortunately, in 2026, it needs to be said: The white supremacists are the bad guys—and they are defeated (spoiler).

A fascinating documentary about the six-decade long career of an artist that most music fans cannot name. Janis Ian became famous at 15 and endured a system bent on her failure. She persevered and deserves the status of icon.
