Sick and tired of sappy romantic movies around Valentine’s Day? Well, you’re in luck. Our first midnight movie inspired by the darker side of love is Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers.
Mallory (Juliette Lewis) is the abused teenage daughter of the family from hell. Mickey (Woody Harrelson) is the butcher's boy. Love is instant and inevitable, even if it means slaughtering Mallory's relatives and splattering a bloody trail of killings-for-kicks across the white trash heartlands. Their modus operandi involves leaving one survivor of each crime scene to tell the tale, and soon the media are on their trail, led by the oleaginous Wayne Gale (Robert Downey Jr, giving much needed humour to the proceedings). The young lovers become global superstars, and their notoriety is only inflamed by their capture and incarceration at the hands of prison boss Dwight Mcluskey (Tommy Lee Jones) who seems more hungry for media exposure than they are. Of course it all ends in tears, but not before Mickey has a primetime moment of pure epiphany ( "I realized my true calling in life... Shit, man, I'm a natural born killer") and Wayne Gale gets his.
Starring: Woody Harrelson, Juliette Lewis, Tommy Lee Jones, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Sizemore, and Rodney Dangerfield. Directed by Oliver Stone (Nixon, JFK, Born on the Fourth of July.)
