"Girl, Interrupted" if it was a comedy movie with a bunch of crazy half-naked women in jail instead of a physiatric center (just watched it to see young John Aprea lol)

A perfect example of how enjoyably fun, thematically strong, and wildly sexy and violent exploitation can be when done in the right hands. Excellent debut from Demme!

I still laugh every time I think of this old tweet I saw years ago asking if "Demme ever made anything good" outside of Silence of the Lambs. What a fucking idiot that must've been.
