"True Romance" is part of Saturday's virtual festival.

The website F This Movie's annual online movie festival, now in its fourth year, is a great way to revisit some cult classics and beat the winter doldrums.

This year's festival kicks off at noon Feb. 4 with Demolition Man, starring Sylvester Stallone, Wesley Snipes and a pre-Speed Sandra Bullock. That's followed by Army of Darkness at 2:15 p.m.; the John Woo/Jean-Claude Van Damme vehicle Hard Target at 4 p.m.; and True Romance at 6 p.m. before closing with Jurassic Park at 8:30 p.m.

To participate, all you need to do is acquire a DVD or Blu-ray version, or stream the films on your preferred streaming service, follow F This Movie on Twitter and join in the discussion using the hashtag #fthismoviefest. We've followed along with past festivals and it's provided some laugh out loud moments.
