badlands
director: terrence malick

|
| Haunting drama about a James Dean look-alike (Martin Sheen) and his very young girlfriend (Sissy Spacek) who idly stands by his side as he goes on a state-wide killing spree. What makes the film so chilling is the lack of remorse of it's two lead characters, Sheen is killing because he always "wanted to be a criminal" and Spacek's childlike narration shows that her character has no concept of the reality or the consequences of what they've done. |

band of outsiders
director: jean-luc godard
|
|
| Trio of cool French kids run around and act like American gangsters, no wonder their plan goes horribly wrong. Visually exciting and stylistically playful, one of the most unlikely “crime” films ever. |

bedford incident, the
director: james b harris
|
|
| An overzealous Naval commander pushes his crew beyond to the breaking point in a dangerous pursuit of a Russian sub in the Arctic Circle. Good performances from Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier are the high points in this thriller about paranoia in the Cold War |

breathless
director: jean-luc godard
|
|
| A young hood on the run from the law hides out in Paris and spends a lot of time smoking and trying to work things out with his American girlfriend. This film looks amazing on the big screen, the editing is brilliant….often imitated, seldom duplicated. |
