Edgar says:

Two lovers on the lam movies, two stone cold cult classics. Both equally beloved, both wildly entertaining, both frequently brutal and brutally funny.

David Lynch’s amazing Wild At Heart was released at the height of his network TV success with Twin Peaks, but does not pull any punches whatsoever. I vividly remember watching this on first release and being blown back into my seat by the outrageous opening; the combination of Im Abendrot, Powermad and a man’s head being bashed into a pulp was like nothing I’d ever seen. It remains a singular experience over twenty years later.

Edgar says:

Tony Scott’s True Romance also felt somewhat ahead of its time and though not a huge box office bonanza, has become one of the most influential Quentin Tarantino scripts. The film foretells the age of the geek hero by at least ten years and sparked a fire for an entire genre of meta madness, my films included. Given that he didn’t direct it, it’s ironic that it feels like Tarantino’s most personal film. Its still a joy to watch, still apparently Tony Scott’s favorite film of his own and my god, what a cast.
