A deep dive into the not-so-distant future in which humankind is learning to adapt to its synthetic surroundings. This evolution moves humans beyond their natural state and into a metamorphosis, which alters their biological makeup.

Michael Crichton's corporate sexual harassment page-turner gets a slick big screen adaption courtesy of Barry Levinson, with 90s rom-thriller go-to Michael Douglas sparring with Demi Moore. Includes a truly insane VR sequence.

The most extreme ride of our lineup is arguably the most accurate. Ton Scott's sublime, fever dream aesthetic crystallised with this conspiracy thriller, in which an amoral, surveillance obsessed government terrorises a hapless fall guy. A delight.

In the near future, people start to magnify game designers for what they create, as superstars and players can organically enter inside the games.

Angelina Jolie leads a ragtag bunch of sexy cyberpunks as they hack the planet. "A time capsule full of fishnet shirts, floppy disks, The Prodigy, and hacker handles that a middle schooler might carve into their skateboard deck." - Stephanie Monohan

A gothic horror film directed by Garth Maxwell. A teenage brother and sister, abandoned by their parents, are reunited after years of adoption. They become enmeshed in a web of revenge and the supernatural.

Another subversive Nicolas Ray masterpiece, about society’s persecution of a self-made woman. Primal emotions, surrealistic sets, brilliant dialogue, electric use of colour and unconcealed sexual tension - it’s one of Hollywood’s strangest westerns.

Cornpone lovebirds Mickey and Mallory go on a killing spree and become folk heroes thanks to tabloid TV. Oliver Stone's frenzied, expressionistic collage of a Tarantino script is nowhere near as controversial as anyone thought it was, and much more amusing.

A salaryman is kidnapped, framed for his wife's murder, and held captive for 15 years. Then he's released... and has five days to find out who did it. "A dark and thrillingly horrible adventure into the realms of the unthinkable." - Peter Bradshaw

Typically excellent, taut and economical “B” western from low-budget master director Budd Boetticher, in which a bounty hunter (the inimitable Randolph Scott) engineers a showdown between two outlaws.

The beloved fantasy from puppet masters Jim Henson and Frank Oz turns 40 this month. "A spectacular range of live-action creatures who prance and gobble their way across the screen with an unprecedented conviction. Desiccated, clawing villains feating on rotting food in a castle as unprepossessing as the crashed space ship in ALIEN have a splendour that is almost operatic." - Time Out

A beautiful awful movie about a simpleton who becomes an omnipotent genius through computer science. (For a generation it was their first look at "virtual reality"). Stephen King sued to take his name of this mess; he's crazy - it's a fine mess.

Devastatingly beautiful, stately and intimate, this generational saga is a blue collar GODFATHER or EAST OF EDEN for the 21st century. Peak Ryan Gosling, accompanied by Bradley Cooper, Eva Mendes and the late Ray Liotta.

The Transylvanian mind trip on 35mm! Rocky Horror “the longest running movie in history” became a sanctuary for people who saw themselves as outsiders, especially queer and gender-nonconforming people. It now unites everyone. No longer mere movie-goers, they became a tribe and kept coming back, week after week. Jan Grefstad made The Hollywood Rocky Horror’s rightful NZ home, the first to screen it as a midnight movie that ran from 1978 to 1988. Come back to it's home at The Hollywood - get dressed up and ready to dance, but please leave the rice at home!

Sam Peckinpah’s explosive, nihilistic breakout redefined the western and forever altered the way violence is depicted on-screen. It’s also an unsparing examination of machismo, of men railing against irrelevance. Savage, beautiful, wild.

Stick around after HACKERS for a special $5 bonus screening (members are free)! A deep cut that just might be the smartest virtual reality film yet. Jeff Fahey plays a man obsessed with a VR game that can resurrect his murdered girlfriend in cyberspace.

Fun, problematic Miami sleaze with a sweat-and-champagne atmosphere. "Met with wry disregard or outright disgust at the time of its release, the film has been endured because it has a way of getting its teeth in you when you least expect it." - Slant Magazine

A struggling artist living in Los Angeles meets a girl who may hold the key to his happiness.

Date night! Preposterously saccharine rom-com from the legendary Nora Ephron. The pen-pals of THE SHOP AROUND THE CORNER (1940) are updated for the burgeoning email set of '98, with the quintessential pairing of Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks.
