Straight to Hell

(1987) dir Alex Cox w/Joe Strummer, Dick Rude, Sy Richardson, Courtney Love, Biff Yeager, Xander Berkeley, Elvis Costello, Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones, Jim Jarmusch, The Pogues [86 min, DCP] 

A cult film so rare that the Brattle has never screened it before! Repo Man’s Richardson and Rude, along with The Clash’s Joe Strummer, star as a trio of hapless criminals who rob a bank and hole up in a seemingly deserted hamlet with an exasperated Courtney Love in tow. They quickly discover that the town is actually overrun by caffeine addicted weirdos and desperados – played by the likes of Elvis Costello, Dennis Hopper, Grace Jones, and The Pogues.
