"The zenith for both Pabst and star Louise Brooks—the latter has become almost solely emblematic of the flapper age because of this film! Adapted from playwright Franz Wedekind’s story of Lulu, a preternaturally powerful beauty blithely strolling through the mating marshlands of the world, where nature is savagely cruel to both the pursuers and the pursued. Watch this film at different stages of your romantic life span and behold your sympathies shifting all over the place! Ouch! Gorgeous! Ouch, again!"

Inspired by the real-life Louise de Bettignies (aka Alice DuBois, aka Lili), this novel fictionalizes one of the women behind this famous titular group of spies in German-occupied Europe during the first World War, and brings her back to post-World War II France in search of one missing person, as well as resolutions to questions unanswered for nearly 30 years.

The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)
1985 | Action, Drama
Pure 80s!
Two teenagers become local celebrities after an incident ends badly resulting in a shooting. The two flee the scene as they don't know what to do, but become famous in the process.

Kind of an 80s teenage version of "Thelma and Louise", this movie is highlighted by Supergirl, Helen Slater and Christian Slater (no relation) and their rambunctious attitudes. Once Billie Jean becomes famous and cuts her hair, everyone wants to be like her.

Will justice be served? Only one way to find out!
