DROP DEAD GORGEOUS (Michael Patrick Jann, 1999, 97min, United States, PG-13)

In this cult comedy classic, a small town beauty pageant turns deadly as it becomes clear that someone will go to any lengths to win.

In a small Minnesota town, the annual beauty pageant is being covered by a TV crew. Former winner Gladys Leeman wants to make sure her daughter follows in her footsteps. Explosions, falling lights, and trailer fires prove that. As the Leemans are the richest family in town the police are pretty relaxed about it all. Despite everything, main rival (but nice) Amber Atkins won’t be stopped. There could well be more death and disappointment to come.

JAWBREAKER (Darren Stein, 1999, 86min, United States, R)

In a no-holds-barred birthday prank, three of Reagan High School’s most popular girls – Julie, Marcie, and Courtney – pretend to kidnap the most popular, Liz Purr. Courtney shoves a jawbreaker into the victim’s mouth ostensibly to keep her from screaming. Their plan goes awry when the girl accidentally swallows the jawbreaker, choking to death. The cool and calculating Courtney tries to cover the crime but is found out by school geek Fern Mayo. In return for her silence, Courtney transforms the gawky Fern into the stylishly beautiful Vylette, leaving the conscience-stricken Julie out in the cold, threatening to set her up for the girl’s murder if she breaks her silence.
