Lovedolls superstar (1986)

This slightly-less-low-budget sequel to the low budget "Desperate Teenage Lovedolls" is a prime example of cult awesomeness, shot on super-8 and featuring the likes of Jello Biafra(as the president), Kim Pilkington, and Victoria Peterson of the Bangles. Killer soundtrack featuring Redd Kross, Sonic Youth, Meat Puppets, and the Dead Kennedys. The movie satirizes everything from the music industry to Charles Manson, Patricia Hearst, the Jonestown massacre, hippies, and Bruce Springsteen (and the De Palma 'dancing in the dark' video). What it lacks in sophistication (read: technical competence) it makes up for in inventiveness and energy. So, if you're looking for a good time, and a sledge-hammer to the face of 80's pop culture, check it out.

p.s.- How ironic that Jello Biafra turned out to be a filthy, stinking hippy after all that. Dharma punks my ass.
