Title: Favorite Punk movies
Post by: RCMerchant on July 25, 2022, 12:57:46 AM
One of my very favorite punk movies is SUBURBIA (1984)
The punk who makes Easter eggs is a pre-Chili's Flea!

I think so! My friend Ethan was a true punk. He dressed up as a Droog for Halloween!

But there's NO Punk music in it... also notice that one band name on the chart list at the milk bar is The Heaven Seventeen...

 ^No. There is no punk music in it.
But it's got that attitude.
I think the 'punk' mindset is more than just the music. It's hard to explain.
It's a 'f**k you, I don't care' attitude. In the early years it was a gang like mentality.
When I lived on Long Island in the 80's, all me and my brothers listened to was punk. We lived and breathed it. I didn't dress like a punk, per se. I had long hair, wore cheap sunglasses, and dressed like a bum. The only one who dressed like a punk was my brother Mike. Oh yeah- My brother Richie shaved his head, which was not a 'look' in 1984.

I understand you but it's the music that defines "Punk" movie in my mind.  The characters in A CLOCKWORK ORANGE are revoltingly violent and depraved.  I hate that movie and it's the PUNK aspect of it I hate the most.  The overall society is of course diseased. 

...I think the 'punk' mindset is more than just the music. It's hard to explain...

My generation too, no 'splanation necessary. 

... I didn't dress like a punk...
 
I did.   :lookingup:

The hell it wasn't...!

You said the 'punk' aspects of a Clockwork Orange you dislike the most. But you admit the punk aspects are there.
As far as shaved heads. At the time, on Long Island, Twisted Sister and Motley Crue were the big deal.
Not to many shaved head among the locals. And everyone heard the music we listened to. The neighbors for sure. Black Flag was not big with anyone  on the outside . It was very isolating, and somehow empowering.

This is no doubt my favorite.

I'll also throw in SID & NANCY, though you might consider it an anti-punk movie... they aren't glamorized.

Dudes (1987)

That it stars Daniel Roebuck of the RIVER'S EDGE (1986) and the MUNSTERS (2022) is a plus!

Who could argue?  Of course they're punks, in the original meaning of the word.

That was your world.  It did not define THEE world.  I saw plenty of Punks with shaved heads save a spiked mohawk...pins in their faces and usually angry.  I was in lots of rough neighborhoods in NJ and NY.  In the end, if it isn't crime and anarchy, it's just fashion.

Kristi has been banned from watching this. I haven't seen it myself, but I have met the devil worshipper (a guy called Russ who was performing at a comedy theatre that Kristi used to work at before she came over to the UK).

Will do. Russ had told Kristi she wasn't allowed to watch it because it was awful. I've always been tempted to give it a look.

I've always though of this movie as being rather punk:

As much as I generally detest punk music and punk culture, even I have to admit I'm a huge fan of both Return of the Living Dead and SLC Punk
