All movies made in or about Rhodesia, my birth country 😊
the LOST WEEKEND (1945) and DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES (1962) are both about alchoholism.
I never went through bad withdraws like Ray Milland or Jack Lemmon did, but it could be bad at times.

They did a little, low-budget film series based on my exploits.
Of course, they changed my name to "Indiana Jones." :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle: :bouncegiggle:

I've mentioned some of the following before, but:
I saw Christian Slater in HEATHERS when I was 11 or 12 and thought, "I want to be that guy."
I tried to become that guy, but alas, about four years later I saw Donovan Leitch in CUTTING CLASS and Martin Donovan in TRUST and decided I'd actually become those guys. (Hence my profile pic.)
April '99, a Senior in college, I saw RUSHMORE for the first-time on the tail-end of its theatrical run. I had finally started to reflect a little more realistically on my high school experience, and... well, Max Fischer in RUSHMORE is a pretty accurate biographical depiction in many regards. (Obv purely incidental, but accurate!) After a couple more viewings it became (and remains) my favorite film.
Northville Cemetary Massacre. I'm from this Northville, spent my first 18 years there, which is a town of about 6000 people in Michigan. Just weird our town even features in a single movie like that, just real small. I actually haven't seen it, really should.
If you're ever in suburban Detroit, I will say Northville is pretty nice. Maybe not worth going out of your way for, it's small, but it has preserved Victorian houses and a pretty cute main street area. They throw a Victorian Festival every year which I enjoyed as a kid - got to dress up as a Victorian kid and march in a parade once.

I guess the closest would be Kevin Smith's Clerks, because in the early '90s I was also a surly twenty something from New Jersey with a mind numbing, dead-end retail job, just like Randall and Dante. It was honestly the first time I'd ever seen a movie that "spoke" to me, sad as that sounds. :teddyr:

I was with Verne Troyer in rehab (2007) and he told me about a movie he was going to make called POSTAL, and he did too. He was from Kalamazoo-about 20 miles from Lawton.
Trevor's hero Uwe Boll directed it.
