I watched it again last night and I pushed it up to the #1 spot in my '80s ballot.

i haven't seen it for years, and i've only seen the flipping melonfarming t.v. version!

― Amon (eman), Thursday, 21 April 2005 01:26 (nineteen years ago) link

it's #5 on mine, but b/c of this thread it might really by higher.

This movie a goddamn classic and will always deserve more praise that it is receiving at any given time.

Repo Man's been my favorite film ever since I first saw it as a teenager, and I think it always will be.

― Chris F. (servoret), Thursday, 21 April 2005 02:14 (nineteen years ago) link

classic by virtue of harry dean stanton alone. and it's so quotable (above-mentioned plate of shrimp, sushi dine-and-dash, john wayne, etc), and there's the great psycho repo man into "diuretics" who has the awesome monologue about how tough he is: "i will kill anyone who crosses me."

― lauren (laurenp), Thursday, 21 April 2005 10:59 (nineteen years ago) link

i think i still prefer "fast times" more but god damn "repo man" is so goooooooood. also, lovely soundtrack as well!

Fuck it I am watching this again tonight. Nah, maybe I'll just bring it into work!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 21 April 2005 11:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Haven't seen it in years... Cox did make a fine mature film called "Highway Patrolman" (?).

The only line I ever feel like quoting is "Ordinary fuckin' people -- I hate em."

― Dr Morbius (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 21 April 2005 12:18 (nineteen years ago) link

Oh, shit, I love this film. Sy Richardson. "You like music? You gonna love this. Was into these dudes before anyone. Asked me to be their road manager..."

I always loved and feared how the other repo men were so unpredictable. In any other movie they would have instantly become either the main character's buddies or enemies, and every action they'd take would be either helpful or antagonistic. But in RM people behave just like people (insane people, but still) do in real life; they're on their own side.

We'll make him get a goddamn tattoo.

Kevin: Hi! I'm Kevin!

Napoleon: Hey buddy! How you doing? Huh? Hey don't you remember me? I was here yesterday. Heh. Listen I think I left a book of matches over in your office over there. You want to go and check for me huh?

Kevin: Sure thing.

Napoleon: Hey thanks a lot buddy.

Kevin: Any thing for you babes.

Napoleon: All right, you're beautiful. I love you.

i'm going to get a useful tattoo, like a tattoo of a better looking guy on my face

― kyle (akmonday), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:23 (eighteen years ago) link

Get a tattoo of a $100 bill on your hand!

― detoxyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:35 (eighteen years ago) link

how many ties

― detoxyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:36 (eighteen years ago) link

Wow, this must have been one of my first threads. God, I need to see this movie for the 6567897th time.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:36 (eighteen years ago) link

you better believe they're all silk

― detoxyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 6 January 2006 20:36 (eighteen years ago) link

I have no idea when Repo Man came out. I can barely recall anything about it apart from Nicholas Cage robbing a convenience store of a package of Pampers (and even that may be a misremembering).

I only came to this thread to state that I must have at one time expressed something resembling enthusiasm for it because my wife has for decades accused it of being my favorite movie, or somehow standing for the essence of all I hold dear about the cinema. She has repeated this nostrum so many times that I now have an unmerited aversion for the thing. I doubt I shall ever hold a copy of it in my hand again, for fear my wife will see it and pounce on this fact as the vindication of her oft-stated opinion about my tastes.

So, despite my having no clear memory of it, this film and I share a deep intimate bond. Life is strange, but no stranger than my wife.

Uh dude, what Adam said, Raisin Arizona.

well alright then

A Raising Arizona/Repo Man double feature woulda been my favoritest thing ever when I was 11

(Actually it is still my favoritest thing ever)

― disco violence (disco violence), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:21 (eighteen years ago) link

Speaking of disco violence, the good man pointed this out to me. Looks like the commentary tracks are the same as with the last edition, though there's some new extras?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:26 (eighteen years ago) link

I have the one in a metal box (with the CD). :-))))

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:30 (eighteen years ago) link

sy richardson.

― lauren (laurenp), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Sy Richardson is a goddamn treasure. And his performance in the rather notorious skin version of Cinderella is a clear case of someone transcending the material.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:33 (eighteen years ago) link

Whatever happened to Dick Rude?

― detoxyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:33 (eighteen years ago) link

I can't believe i used to like these guys

― kingfish pibb Xtra (kingfish 2.0), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Can you imagine I still haven't listened to the CD! I have had it for more than 4 yrs now!

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:36 (eighteen years ago) link

what the soundtrack? Jucy Bananas, fucks!

― detoxyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:37 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I should really give it a listen.

― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Friday, 6 January 2006 21:38 (eighteen years ago) link

i installed 2 way mirrors at his pad in brentwood and he came to the door in a dress

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Awwww, that doesn't mean he was a homo, Miller. A lot of straight guys like to watch their buddies fuck. I know I do. Don't you?

― detoxyDancer (sexyDancer), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:40 (eighteen years ago) link

the repo man sushi line is so classic

― cutty (mcutt), Friday, 6 January 2006 22:42 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, that was great. I can't believe Dick Rude was a student at the Lee Strasberg Institute... I assumed he was a real punk!

― Hippie Ernie (morrisp), Wednesday, 13 March 2024 16:12 (one month ago) link

Lol same, Dick Rude makes so much sense as a punk band stage name.

― Judi Dench's Human Hand (methanietanner), Wednesday, 13 March 2024 18:10 (one month ago) link

I’m glad they weren’t able to shoot the original ending… I’m glad the Muhammad Ali thing didn’t work out (that sounds corny). All the serendipity along the way, even on the “negative” side, is remarkable.
