SCREEN SECT: HOUSE OF GAMES
(David Mamet, 1987)
The debut feature from playwright, screenwriter, director and heretical film theorist Mamet is a highly stylised glimpse into the ever-fascinating, hard-boiled world of the con artist. Lindsay Crouse plays a repressed psychologist drawn into the subterranean world of Joe Mantegna’s slippery confidence trickster.

SCREEN SECT: STRAIGHT TO HELL
(Alex Cox, 1986)
Possibly the most expensive ‘home-movie’ ever made, in which the director of ‘Repo Man’ and ‘Sid & Nancy’ packs off to Spain with an all-rock-star cast (including The Pogues, Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, Dennis Hoper, Jim Jarmusch, Grace Jones and Courtney Love) to create a twisted blend of spaghetti western and heist movie. Fun.
