- 7:30pm  Blue Velvet  (David Lynch, 1986)

A shy young Kyle MacLachlan in a quaint small American town. What could go wrong? Well, heard the one about the severed ear? In what was to become virtually a trademark, behind the picket fences and flowery dresses lies a dark underworld in this ground-breaking, astonishing film from perhaps the cult filmmaker, David Lynch. Dennis Hopper and Isabella Rossellini share some of the most extraordinary scenes ever seen in movies and its young stars MacLachlan and Laura Dern went on to become huge cult actors.
Nearly 25 years old, but still cult filmmaking at its darkest and most disturbing.

Well, we're offering up five of our favourite cult films, starting with time travel, jet engines, giant rabbits and Patrick Swayze, then jumping back to the wonderful world of Russ Meyer, on to the ‘King of Cult' Mr David Lynch and his stunning breakthrough film, stopping off for some high camp at the Annual Transylvanian Convention before finishing with the legendary Blade Runner. In the cult fan's Director's Cut obviously.
