Shoulder pads mandatory; synthesizer solos optional.

Programmer's Pick

With teased hair and even bigger ambitions, Catherine Mary Stewart dives headfirst into L.A.'s neon-lit New Wave subculture. Marc Rocco's direction keeps the synths pumping and the romance as volatile as the band lineup. For anyone who still has a soft spot for shoulder pads and power chords, this is pure 1987.
