Perennial loser Stephen hasn't left his flat for months and it is there that he hilariously relives a disastrous trek that he took round Europe the previous year with his alter ego Bunny.

US teen heart-throb Johnny Depp plays Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker, the coolest dude in school and the baddest boy in Baltimore. Rich, prim, new girl Alison thinks he's a dream, her grandmother thinks he's a nightmare. An even weirder cast than 'Hairspray' in this quirky, offbeat musical extravaganza that's got a touch of traditional John Waters shock stuff, but is predominately a parody of both 50s teen rebellion and 50s teen musical flicks. Its reputation has grown hugely with time. find out more...

The staging of a musical, a romance, a bumbling private eye and a man who keeps wandering on with a pot plant for 'Mrs Jones'! is almost incidental to the speed, imagination and sheer craziness in a film that gives the Marx brothers a run for their money. Justifiably described as ‘Pythonesque', Hellzapoppin is a hugely influential comedy classic that can now be seen as way ahead of its time.. find out more...

Based on Steve Gerber's subversively hilarious comics, this film is not only one of the worst and most expensive films of the 1980s, it's also, perversely, one of the most sought after. Agonisingly ill-conceived this tale of a gobby extra-terrestrial duck reluctantly faced with saving the world is so truly awful it's almost hypnotic…..go on….risk it. find out more...
