"REPO MAN" (1984) TURNS 40 AND IS STILL THE PENULTIMATE LATE NIGHT SCIENCE FICTION COMEDY, IT CANNOT BE TOPPED

 

1. One of the best Harry Dean Stanton performances ever! (of many.) 2.Micheal Nesmith, yes, Michael Nesmith, the Monkee, secured the financing - the movie wouldn't have existed without him  3. Alex Cox in his directorial debut created an instant masterpiece of sci-fi blended with black comedy and all the music/fashions of the then-current punk scene. 4. Legendary punk band the Circle Jerks in a scene masquerading as a lounge act, need I say more? 5. Olivia Barash, one of the hottest babes to ever grace '80's cinema. 6. Tracey Walter in probably his most iconic role, a real plus for the film. 7. "Friday night TV...Dallas!....The Jeffersons!" 

If you've never seen, then don't pass go and don't collect $200 but do make sure you watch it late at night. And for those 420 enjoyers out there, omg, a must.  VOD only. 4.0 stars/5
