MPAA Rating: PG-13
Director: Michael Almereyda
Starring: Crispin Glover, Harry Dean Stanton, Lois Chiles, Tim Robbins
No, this isn't the plotless 1995 blockbuster of the same name starring Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton. Crispin Glover stars as "Howdy," a member of the Cleveland family, a group of lunatics who live in a mansion somewhere in Kansas. Howdy wears a purple suit and boasts a page-boy haircut that makes him look like a cross between Prince Valiant and Emo Phillips. Believe it or not, Harry Dean Stanton costars as the patriarch. Also look for a cameo by the "Godfather of Punk," William S. Burroughs, who can be seen taking target practice in a barn. Bottom line: Twister rivals Eraserhead as one of the weirdest American films ever made.
