Crimewave (1985) (Dir. Sam Raimi)
Sam Raimi breathes life into an early Coen Brothers script to produce a mindbending acme noir. Chewing the scenery is an understatement when Bruce Campbell's brand of camp doesn't stick out in any major way. Several Chuck Jones style gags are played straight from frying pan smacks to getting air mailed to Uruguay. Zany sound effects and surreal lighting are used pointedly to accent the feverish universe. This is truly a product of the 80s, for better or for worse.
