i don't believe in zimmerman (Hurting 2), Thursday, 12 April 2012 22:58 (twelve years ago) link

Cheating, cos they're earlier, but I thought of them immediately when I saw this thread's title: just about any Cassavetes, and wasn't A Woman Under The Influence 70s? Think so. The Incident ('66, Martin Sheen and Tony Musante take over a subway car full of citizens, for kicks, not for ransom), Panic In Needle Park, Mikey and Nicky, and (despite the cute title)
The Little Fugitive http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0046004/reviews

Also (prob 80s) Q, The Winged Serpent: nest in the Chrysler Building, Michael Moriarty as a loosey-goosey junkie, David Carradine as Dragnet-type cop (yeah, they switched)

eleven years pass...

Amos Poe lost control of his documentary about the music scene that spawned artists like Blondie and Talking Heads after a dispute with Ivan Kral, the guitarist who made the movie with him.

That's an article from 2020. Does anyone know whether the streaming versions of Blank Generation are the original version with credit to Poe and Kral, or the more recent Kral estate version with Poe's name deleted and the film ending changed ?
