Grab your croquet mallet and prepare for high school as a battlefield. "Heathers" is the razor-sharp 1988 cult classic that turned teenage angst into pitch-black comedy, following Veronica Sawyer as she navigates the cutthroat social hierarchy of Westerburg High alongside a trio of tyrannical, color-coded queen bees all named Heather. When a mysterious new boy named JD enters the picture, Veronica's fantasies about dethroning the popular crowd take a startlingly literal and murderous turn.

Screening at The Beverly Theater, this film pairs perfectly with the venue's intimate setting, where the plush seating and sharp acoustics let every biting one-liner and eerily catchy needle-drop hit just right. It's the kind of movie that rewards a shared theater experience, where you can feel the room react in unison to lines that have since become iconic pieces of pop culture shorthand. Whether you're revisiting the film for the dozenth time or seeing it fresh, the dark humor and quotable dialogue tend to land even better with a crowd.
