Badlands

A young Martin Sheen steals a younger Sissy Spacek away from her father Warren Oates and goes on a killing rampage up through the Dakotas.

This is a slow, easy-going serial killer movie with some very good performances: Spacek's withdrawn narration, Sheen's good-natured surrender.

Undoubtedly provided the fodder for Kalifornia and Natural Born Killers. And yes, in the background there you can hear the inspiration for Tarantino's True Romance soundtrack.
