Our recent recommendations for The Ill Repute

‘Marijuana: the burning weed with its roots….in hell!’. Insanely OTT church-sponsored 30s anti-drug propaganda flick, preserved by the ‘cult classic’ powers-that-be for your utter hilarity. Another quality free entry obscurity from the excellent Be Kind Rewind. Screenings of cult films downstairs at the Ill Repute

Sell out warning! A pre-millennial nostalgia feast for the lost TV generation - relive classic episodes of Thundercats, Powerpuff Girls, golden era Cartoon Network and more mixed in with retro ads for long-forgotten products. Be Kind Rewind Bristol presents SICK, SAD WORLD

Free entry! Once seen, it's impossible to unsee. Lynch's nightmarish DIY destruction of the fourth, fifth and sixth walls of cinema needs to be watched again and again and again and again. Screenings of cult films downstairs at the Ill Repute

Sell out warning! A pre-millennial nostalgia feast for the lost TV generation - relive classic episodes of Thundercats, Powerpuff Girls, golden era Cartoon Network and more mixed in with retro ads for long-forgotten products. Be Kind Rewind Bristol presents SICK, SAD WORLD

Sell out warning! Two counter-cultural acid classics back-to-back in the Ill Repute’s basement - flower power-friendly free entry too! Peter Fonda, Jack Nicholson and Dennis Hopper’s genius are all over the lesser known B movie psych-ploitation flick The Trip, a must-see precursor to the zeitgeist-defining Easy Rider.
