It Came From the Cultosphere

It’s hard to believe 'Heathers' arrived in theaters more than a quarter century ago – and not just because its high school setting makes it seem much perpetually teen-aged.

If ever a movie has transcended the passage of time, that movie is 'Zelig,' Woody Allen's 1983 comedy.

There's really no other movie in history like 'Freaks,' and it comes down to one simple fact: The costumes didn't come off when the cameras stopped rolling.

‘Rock 'n' Roll High School,’ director Allan Arkush’s 1979 ode to teen rebellion, is the sort of glorious mess where all the almost accidental elements that could have made something terrible instead created something glorious.

It’s hard to remember these days -- when John Waters plays the role of the grand old man of pop culture, writing witty essays about Johnny Mathis or lending his voice to commentary tracks on ‘Mommy Dearest’ -- that the guy with the pencil-thin mustache was once considered genuinely dangerous.

In 1973, Willard Huyck and Gloria Katz were two of the writers who helped George Lucas create 'American Graffiti,' the director's classic look at the nightlife of southern California. That same year, Huyck and Katz made their own movie about what happens after dark in the Garden State.
