The choice of the Weekly VCR Watch is Better Off Dead, or better known as I want my two Dollars!
The reason I bring this movie into the light is because I recently discovered that the film was shot in the small town I live in, and yeah I happened to love cheesy dark comedies! so after 22 years this flick still makes me laugh.
so for those of you that haven't seen this cult classic check it out--- John Cusack plays the main character Lane in which he finds creative ways to end his life after his vain girlfriend dumps him for the school jock.The characters in this film are unforgettable.
Like the kamikaze car racers who keep meeting up with him at the traffic light
The Crazed Paper Boy who just wants his 2 dollars
The mad scientist little brother who makes a Space Shuttle out of Household appliances
The Mom who keeps cooking up food that moves
and yeah there is also the Romantic moment between two hamburgers. I promise it will stay in your memory.
Why I really love this film? because I liked how there were sub stories within one story. The director Savage Steve Holland knew how to bring it all the quirky characters and stories together and not lose a beat. To those aspiring directors, I suggest to keep that in mind.

this is one of my fav films of all time. two dollars! plus the soundtrack was off the hook! speciallly the rupert hine end credit song, "with one look". sigh...the days of teenage wasteland, long before the politics of life kicked in.
