I've Been Meaning to Watch That!

RCMS rounds out this theme round with Movies that are on our proverbial list, but we haven't gotten around to watching. Mike picks Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer. The 1986 movie has roots in the original home city of the Rare Cuts Media Society. It stars Michael Rooker as Henry a kind of fictional serial killer, based hevily on real serial killer Henry Lee Lucas. The movie was very low budget and made very quickly all around Chicagoland. But it paid off when it saw great box office returns, despite its X rating. Siskel and Ebert gave it two thumbs up, What will RCMS think?
