IT CAME FROM KUCHAR - Without the legendary underground films of the Kuchar brothers, there would be no PINK FLAMINGOS, among other things.

TERRIBLY HAPPY - This offbeat Danish psychological thriller has drawn comparisons to the Coen brothers and David Lynch.

I know this sounds a little like the plot of HOT FUZZ, but this has been getting a lot of positive buzz that has us intrigued...

BONNIE'S KIDS - This wonderfully ridiculous "lost classic" of 70s exploitation cinema  was one of the grindhouse inspirations for PULP FICTION.
