For many reasons, Hitchcock’s 1960 film Psycho changed and influenced cinema in a ripple effect still apparent today. From his groundbreaking concept of not allowing late admittance of ticket holders into the cinema up to the shocking committed to his leading lady, Psycho remains a film important for every generation.

Told in two acts, it starts with young Marion Crane fleeing the city after stealing money from work and who winds up in an ill-fated meeting with Norman Bates at the Bates Motel. In the second act, her disappearance ignites an investigation by her sister and lover who also wind up at the Bates Motel.

In honor of Hitchcock, we won’t give too much away in case you haven’t seen it but, trust us, you want to see this on the big screen.

Starring: Isabella Rossellini, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Laura Dern

When Jeffery Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) stumbles across a bloodied human ear, the small town college student decides to play detective. Through his sloppy investigation, Jeffrey discovers a side of his town he never knew existed; a wormhole of sexual torture, fetishism, drugs and vice. Enticed by the raw sensuality of the underworld, Jeffrey quickly finds himself wrapped up in a kidnapping plot involving a singer, Dorothy (Isabella Rossellini), and the town’s resident psychopath, Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper)–a dire situation that Jeffrey quickly finds himself ill equipped to handle.

Starring: James Woods, Sonja Smits, Debbie Harry, Peter Dvorsky, Les Carlson

To select our 4/20 Midnite Movie this year, we held Nitehawk’s inaugural MARIJUANA MADNESS TOURNAMENT. We started by pitting 64 of the best stoner flicks, oddball gems, psyche-outs and dreamscapes against one-another and whittled them down to the Sweet 16. We left the fate of the tournament up to you, Hawks, with weekly votes via Nitehawk’s Instagram account.

Update: The results are in! The winner of this year’s MARIJUANA MADNESS TOURNAMENT is…. not VIDEODROME. It lost to Richard Linklater’s Dazed & Confused in the finals, 227 – 203.

We felt bad for the 203 who clamored for some sadomasochism and living televisions so we’ve added a special Participation Trophy screening the following week. We’re all winners!

“Beyond the Valley of the Dolls seems more and more like a movie that got made by accident when the lunatics took over the asylum… An independent X-rated filmmaker (Russ Meyer) and an inexperienced screenwriter (Roger Ebert) were brought into a major studio and given carte blanche to turn out a satire of one of the studio’s own hits. And “BVD” was made at a time when the studio’s own fortunes were so low that the movie was seen almost fatalistically, as a gamble that none of the studio executives really wanted to think about, so that there was a minimum of supervision (or even cognizance) from the Front Office.” — Roger Ebert

Starring: Sheryl Lee, Moira Kelly, Ray Wise, Chris Isaak, Kyle MacLachlan, Harry Dean Stanton, David Bowie

In the questionable town of Deer Meadow, Washington, FBI Agent Desmond inexplicably disappears while hunting for the man who murdered a teen girl. The killer is never apprehended, and, after experiencing dark visions and supernatural encounters, Agent Dale Cooper chillingly predicts that the culprit will claim another life. Meanwhile, in the more cozy town of Twin Peaks, hedonistic beauty Laura Palmer hangs with lowlifes and seems destined for a grisly fate.

From Japanese special effects master Soichi Umezawa comes a singular horror experience in a wildly hilarious marriage of The Blob and The Evil Dead.

After studying in Tokyo, Kaori returns to Aina Academy to finish her prep classes for art school. Quickly outshining her jealous classmates, she soon becomes the star of the class when she discovers a bag of old, mysterious clay and uses it for sculpting assignments. Things begin to get strange, however, when students’ projects are destroyed and one of Kaori’s classroom rivals disappears.

As the students uncover that the clay is possessed by a starving artist who died tragically in the building years ago, the school finds itself attacked by a gang of murderous, bloodthirsty clay “vampires.” The monsters begin to impersonate – and subsequently devour – the students, thus answering the age-old question: can art be so bad that it kills? Rest assured: you’ve never experienced a movie like Vampire Clay.

Starring: Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, Jack Nicholson, Karen Black, Phil Spector

Directed by Dennis Hopper, Easy Rider shows the real and metaphorical journey of two bikers Captain America and Billy (Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) as they travel from Los Angeles to Florida. Along the way they realize the fabric of American culture is so fundamentally flawed that the promise of change invoked by the counter culture in the early 1960s seems to fade away. And although the tagline says that it’s about “a man who went looking for American…but couldn’t find it,” it seems more dangerous to suggest that perhaps he did.
