Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
(1978, 115min/color, DCP) Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum. Directed by Philip Kaufman.
This dazzling, whip-smart remake of the 1956 spine-tingler stars Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams and Leonard Nimoy as characters caught in an eerie tale of possession by alien pod-people.
Eraserhead
(1977, 89min/b&w, DCP) Jack Nance, Charlotte Stewart, Allen Joseph, Jeanne Bates, Judith Roberts, and Jack Fisk. Directed by David Lynch.
Put-upon Everyman Henry (Jack Nance) shambles resignedly through a dark, industrial-urban landscape. When he joins Mary X (Charlotte Stewart) in a nightmare parody of working-class connubial bliss, we soon realize there is no return ticket from this descent down the rabbit hole. “May be the greatest debut by an American director after CITIZEN KANE.” – Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid.
