Thirty years ago, this in-your-face violent satire of murder and media consumption was released to a mixture of acclaim and controversy. Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone (Platoon, Wall Street) presented us with the story of Mickey (Woody Harrelson) and Mallory (Juliette Lewis), two crazy lovers who are on a murder spree across the country. What results is not only a national manhunt for them leading to incarceration at a prison lead but a brutal warden (Tommy Lee Jones) but a full-on media circus, with the host (Robert Downey Jr.) of a popular true-crime show at the center of it. What results is a nutso movie which divided both critics and audiences alike, while also remaining a time capsule of one particular era when the likes of Joey Buttafuoco or Lorena Bobbitt became household names.
