In the future, organ failure is as common as a cold, and the huge company GeneCo has a monopoly on supplying humans with much needed organ replacements. But there's a catch: The minute you miss a payment on your new organ, GeneCo sends someone to cut the organs back out. Anthony Head (Giles from Buffy) plays the singing and dancing organ Repo Man in Repo! The Genetic Opera.. While I love Head, and his soulful pipes, from the look of the trailer this movie is trying way too hard hard for the cult favorite niche — it's seconds away from selling t-shirts at Hot Topic.

Back in the 1980s, then-unknown Emilio Estevez made his debut in a raunchy, SoCal punk rock cult flick called Repo Man. Starring Harry Dean Stanton as Estevez's coked-up mentor, the movie is about what happens when the repo dudes come across a car whose trunk is full of deadly alien loot. And the alien conspiracy subplot is ripped right from Scientology at a time when the Scientologists were still a power to be reckoned with. This scene captures the loony appeal of the flick, as one of Estevez's weird pals tells him all about "Dioretix" and time travel. Sounds like the plot of The 4400, or maybe just something L. Ron Hubbard would have written. It's time for this movie to get a nice revival. [Repo Man] More »
