Adapted from the classic, absurdist, anti-war novel by Joseph Heller. "Catch-22" is the story of Yossarian, a pilot who trys to opt out of flying bombing missions by being declared insane, the catch being that anyone trying to avoid bombing missions by being insane must be sane. This dark classic catches much of the flavour of the book, the insanity, the corruption and the absurdity of war. Think MASH, but non-linear - flawed but awesome.

PRETTY POISON (1968)
Certification15 Our Rating
Made eight years after Psycho, Perkins again plays a mentally disturbed young man. Just released from an institution for, as a teenager, burning down his aunt's house with her inside, he lives in a fantasy world, pretending he's a CIA agent. This seems to work brilliantly as a chat up line for he picks up a beautiful, but very gullible, all American small town girl. This is a pure mix of Hitchcock and 60s rebellion. Watch it.
