But don't sleep on the Linklater adaptation of Eric Bogosian's SUBURBIA either.
(Whole lotta SUBURBIA up in this thread.)

huh - looks interesting - "coming of age drama/thriller". (from wiki) and the punks ..."The punks are played by Chris Pedersen, Bill Coyne, Timothy Eric O'Brien and Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, amongst others. "
yes, this is definitely a classic punk rock film. actually makes los angeles look kinda cool... kinda. back in the late 80's maybe?
Good! I'm glad you like it! It's in my favs list on YT but pretty certain its on Vimeo too. I remember watching it as a kid in the late 80s with all my sibling's new age friends & skaters- not somuch of a punk scene in the rural midwest back then; but it gave us hope for "real life" once we got older....
I remember watching this movie in 1991 and the scene at 32:00 entirely changed the way my friends and I were going about feeding ourselves. There were occasionally garages open with refrigerators exposed but we found more luck in the mobile home parks of elderly folks. So many of those mobile homes had a spare refrigerator or better yet a freezer outside under their car ports. Definitely don't feel too proud about that now, but back then it seemed to make a lot of sense.
don't forget the decline of western civilization series which was also directed by Penelope Spheeris. I think she also co-directed Wayne's World.
personally I think Repo Man is the definitive 80's punk-sploitation flick.... Harry Dean Stanton is pure class as the speed snorting mentor....

kinda ironic it came out that year.
LOL - back in the day we would score occasional beers from those outdoor fridges - and then we found the mother load --- man had 2 outdoor fridges, one with food, the other was converted to a beer cooler/pourer with a half barrel inside. Guy finally locked his porch ...
just a random thought, but i saw a neat movie addon for our forum software that let you import imdb info and other things for movies. i thought it might make for a cool movie section of the forums that is for travel-related movies only? although i think it would also be practical to include movies like this that include squatting and other such related activities.
