Get mindless for awhile with this 1997 disaster flick, starring the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles as a funky place for lava to spew, plus Tommy Lee Jones and Anne Heche as the brave souls who know how to shut off the spout. Director Mick Jackson (The Bodyguard) wastes no time getting to the good stuff--it's happening in Volcano even before opening credits are over--and neither should anyone in the mood for technical efficiency without the burden of art. --Tom Keogh
I ONLY GOT ONE LAW: A KID WHO TELLS ON ANOTHER KID IS A DEAD KID. Inspired by real-life incidents, Over The Edge is an incendiary ode to teen rebellion that quickly became a Gen X/punk-rock touchstone, and a key influence on filmmakers such as Richard Linklater and musicians like Kurt Cobain (who often cited it as his favourite film). New Granada is a brand new planned community', miles from the noise and crime of the big city and a perfect place to raise a family. The only problem is they forgot to build anything for the kids to do. Bored out of their minds and stuck in the middle of nowhere, the teens in the town, led by Carl (Michael Kramer) and Richie (an effortlessly charismatic Matt Dillon in his first film role), do pretty much anything to fill the time, quickly escalating from drugs and sex to petty crime. A rash action by an overzealous local police officer (Harry Northup, Taxi Driver) sets in motion a face-off between the frustrated kids and their clueless parents that will lead to explosive, destructive consequences... Armed with a classic 70s rock soundtrack (including Cheap Trick, Ramones and Van Halen), energetic direction by Jonathan Kaplan (White Line Fever) and an intelligent script by Tim Hunter (River's Edge) and Charlie Haas (Matinee), Over The Edge still packs a righteously powerful punch today, and makes its worldwide Blu-Ray debut with brand new bonus features interviewing the cast and crew.

New Grenada is a planned community in the rolling plains west of Denver. It is a soulless oasis of split levels home coffee mornings and crushing blandness where the adults strive to attract investment and their neglected kids are left to make their own entertainment. When the youth centre closes at dusk this manifests in vandalism drug-taking theft and general hooliganism resulting in the accidental shooting of a police officer. When the town's parents gather the next night to discuss the degenerating situation they soon discover the kids have had all they can take. Starring Matt Dillon (Crash Wild Things) in his first screen role Over The Edge is a beautiful yet starkly realised social treatise about the rhythms of teenage life made at a time where youth crime was rampant across middle America. The vastness of the desert setting adds to the sense of hopelessness that engulfs the townsfolk and makes for a ground-breaking and memorial movie that introduced the troubled-teen cinematic genre.
