The Repo Man (1984)

Anyone else love this film???
Caught it the other night for the first time in ages. Thought you guys might like to know a couple of obscure facts.

a) All characters except Otto are named after a type of beer.

b) All cars in the film turn OPPOSITE way from that which they are indicating.

I do love a good fascinating fact. And yes, I really like this film but it's quite a while since I've seen it. It's probably Alex Cox's best movie and (now that you've reminded me how good it is) probably worth tracking down on DVD

Best thing with Mike Nesmith's name on it including Head. And except for Appocalypse Now probably the best thing with one of the Sheen family in it.

Best movie soundtrack too.

Superb film, one that is fun to watch over and over because you pick up things that you missed the time before.

Men at work was funnier.

But this is definetly one of my favs--even added it to the cult list.

Looking at the cult list, Repo Man is much more qualified than most. Quicky, offbeat, hard to classify and beloved by a small dedicated group of something.

Re: The Repo Man

I also think it stands the test of time....it's over twenty years old now.....and although it's obviously a "classic" to a select few.......I feel it's quite a contempary concept.....cool characters....aliens gradually decomposing.....hot-cars being reposessed....and one hell of a soundtrack...it's got everything.
