Starring: Alicia Silverstone, Benicio del Toro, Christopher Walken, Jack Thompson, Harry Connick Jr.

Using Clueless caché to produce her first feature, Alicia Silverstone optioned this romcom vehicle, starring alongside rising 90s actor’s actor du jour—the smoldering Benicio del Toro (in his first leading role)—in director Marco Brambilla’s Demolition Man follow-up, Excess Baggage.

In a b-side to Clueless’ Cher, Silverstone expands on her rich girl mythos to play Emily, who stages a kidnapping to win her dad’s affections. When hunky thief (Del Toro) inadvertently steals a luxury auto holding the staged ransom (Emily) in the trunk, the two are left to deal with the repercussions of an accidental abduction, while navigating mutually budding romantic interests. Coasting on strong chemistry between the leads, and leaning into very 90s-specific needle drops, Excess Baggage also stands as a fascinating attempt at transforming one of the decade’s most idiosyncratic screen actors into a poster boy.

Starring: Nicolas Cage, Eva Mendes, Val Kilmer, Xzibit, Fairuza Balk, Shawn Hatosy

For the final Sunday on Fire, we present a major Hong Kong movie that’s not just the last word on the men behind bars genre, it closes the book, and sets it on fire. By the time this flick is over everything there is to say about violent men being locked up with one another has been said. Loudly. Featuring a break-out role for one of Hong Kong’s most famous actors, it’s a prison movie where everyone is between a rock and a hard place, and there are no good choices, just a series of less terrible options where violence is continual and catastrophic.

Like a slow-blooming flower this movie unfolds and unfolds and finally blossoms into apocalyptic hysteria, and then it expands even further until it becomes clear that it’s not just indicting prisons and prisoners but all of us who think we need them, and all of us who think they work.

Starring: Jackson White, Forrest Goodluck, Jack Mulhern
