​MOVIE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ​JANUARY 2022
 Happy New Year! Yeah, we're late again. We have no excuse for you other than it's a "Mad Mad Mad Mad World..." (Which is also a fun film.) We're starting the year off with random movie recommendations featuring films of the late 80s to mid-90s. Enjoy! For accurate information on how to help stop the spread of Coronavirus, go HERE.
"Drugstore Cowboy" (1989 Avenue Pictures) Matt Dillon, Kelly Lynch, Heather Grahm, James Le Gros, James Remar, Max Perlich, George Catalono. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
  • Based on the autobiographical novel by James Fogle, "Drugstore Cowboy" may be one of the best crime drama films of the late 80s early 90s. Brilliant performances by Matt Dillon (arguably his best role) and Kelly Lynch. This film is not for the squeamish as it deals with drug addiction; however, if you're looking for an excellent, suspenseful film, watch Drugstore Cowboy. 
Watch on Apple TV
"The Usual Suspects" (1995 Gramercy Pictures) Gabriel Byrne, Kevin Spacey, Benicio Del Toro. Kevin Pollak, Stephen Baldwin, Giancarlo Esposito, Chazz Palminteri, Pete Postlethwaite, Suzy Amis. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV.
  • Winner of two Oscars in 1996 (Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Kevin Spacey, Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen, Christopher McQuarrie) The Usual Suspects is a modern classic. Quite possibly one of the best crime-drama films of all time. If you've never seen this film, immediately add it to your list!
Watch on Apple TV
"Friday" (1995 New Line Cinema) Ice Cube, Chris Tucker, Nia Long, John Witherspoon, Anna Maria Horsford, Faizon Love, Tom Lister Jr. Regina King, DJ Pooh. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on HBO Max.
  • "Friday" is the first film in the "Friday" franchise created by Ice Cube and DJ Pooh. While many feel that "Friday" is the best film of the trilogy, we have a hard time picking a favorite. We strongly recommend you watch all three and decide for yourself (Ok, we love "Next Friday" but we often change our minds.) All three films are hilarious, but you must start at the beginning, so enjoy "Friday" ASAP!  
Watch on Apple TV
"Jackie Brown" (1997 Miramax) Pam Grier, Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Foster, Robert De Niro, Bridget Fonda, Micael Keaton, Chris Tucker, Michael Bowen. Available on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV. Also currently available on HBO Max.
  • Quentin Tarantino adapted his screenplay from the crime novel "Rum Punch" by Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty, The Big Bounce Three-Ten to Yuma.) Many argue that "Jackie Brown" is Tarantino's best film, we love it, but "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" is our current favorite. Still, if you're a fan of Tarantino films, Jackie Brown is a treat worth multiple viewings. We put it in our "Surf Stopper" category. Jackie Brown is a modern classic not to be missed with a nearly all-star cast, classic Tarantino dialog, and plenty of suspense. Enjoy!
