(Jonathan Demme, US 1988, 104 min.)

If Demme’s Something Wild summed up the ’80s, this nutty, mobbed-up romantic comedy presaged the ’90s and our cultural obsession with all things Mafia. Michelle Pfeiffer boasts some serious comic chops playing Angela, an unhappy “Lawn Guyland” mob widow who does the unimaginable: She falls for the FBI agent (Matthew Modine) investigating the murder of her husband (Alec Baldwin). Members admitted free.
