Hey guys, don't post in the OTD much, but I could use some help.
I'm aiding a friend in writing a magazine article, for a fairly famous "Entertainment" ;) magazine about 1980s "California Movies". I gave him the original idea, but he is clearly a better writer than I. By this I mean films that really draw you to the life and culture of that era, as well as balance feelings of both beauty and disgust. So far, as examples, I've presented Suburbia, Repo Man, Less Than Zero, Night of the Comet, etc.
I could really use some more recommendations. I know I've seen more that fit this aesthetic, but I'm having a pretty mind-numbing day.
Cheers,
Red No. 5

You guys are being a great help. Please keep them coming. Please keep in mind the 1980s aesthetic, about as far down as I'm going is Point Break (which features the lead in Suburbia). Coming from the midwest, I've always found a strangely appealing attraction to the movies of that era.

Breakdance and Electric Boogaloo?
Is White Men Can't Jump set in Cali? I know it's not 80's, but it's close. |
