Andrew Ranken, best known as the longtime drummer for The Pogues, also made his mark in front of the camera, creating a niche body of work that holds particular appeal for collectors of cult cinema and music-related ephemera. His most recognizable film role is as the enigmatic "Ranken" in Alex Cox's 1987 punk rock Western, *Straight to Hell*. This anarchic, star-studded genre-bender – a perennial favorite on VHS and early DVD for its distinctive aesthetic and ensemble cast – offers Ranken a memorable, albeit non-speaking, part in a film celebrated for its chaotic energy and unique place in independent film history. Beyond *Straight to Hell*, Ranken's visual presence is most extensively documented in *The Pogues: Poguevision* (2006). This comprehensive collection of the band's music videos, live performances, and documentary footage is a must-have for any collector charting the visual history of influential music acts. His understated but vital contribution to these films cements his status as a figure whose work, often intertwined with legendary musical acts, makes for essential viewing and collecting for those curating a complete picture of punk and new wave's cinematic intersections.
