Ghoulian Punk Posts: 557 Registered: Jun 2001	posted 07-23-2001 07:02 AM I think most of the good punk movies have been listed already, so here are some good pre-punk flicks you might want to check out (if you haven't already seen 'em): The Wild One (1954) - Marlon Brando had the attitude: "What're you rebelling against, Johnny?" "Whaddya got?" The Blackboard Jungle (1955) - The 1st movie to feature rock 'n' roll music in the soundtrack The Girl Can't Help It (1956) - Little Richard, Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran, etc. See it in Cinemascope if you can Jailhouse Rock (1957) - Elvis' best movie, hands down Wild Guitar (1962) - So bad it's great A Hard Day's Night (1964) - If you haven't seen it, why the hell not? Don't Look Back (1965) - Dylan was SUCH a punk! Velvet Underground and Nico (1966) - Warhol directed Blow Up (1967) - A great Yardbirds sequence & a mesmerising movie Privilege (1967) - Paul Jones (of Manfred Mann) stars as messianic rock star; Patti Smith covered the title tune The Trip (1967) - Jack Nicholson co-wrote the script; not as good as it should have been but still interesting Tonite Let's All Make Love in London (1967) - A kaleidoscope of swinging London, with Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd Performance (1968) - A great movie, Mick Jagger's ultimate film role Head (1968) - The Monkees freak out Wild in the Streets (1968) - The kids take over the govt, send adults to concentration camps! Monterey Pop (1969) - Film of the 1967 festival with the Who, Jimi Hendrix, etc One Plus One (aka Sympathy for the Devil) (1969) - The "arty" stuff is tedious, but sequences of the Stones working on the title tune in the studio are fascinating Diary of a Mad Housewife (1970) - The band performing at the wild party is Alice Cooper That'll Be the Day (1973) - David Essex & Ringo Starr as young rock-n-rollers in 1958 Cocksucker Blues (1973) - Rarely-seen behind-the-scenes Stones movie Quadrophenia (1979) - Mods vs Rockers in 1963 England (Thanks, Reno!)

It also features Richard Pryor's first role in a major motion picture. Anyone ever see Six String Samurai? IP: Logged

"Privilege" has a somewhat similar theme, although in that film the rock star is a tool of the ruling class. quote: Originally posted by YerMom: Anyone ever see Six String Samurai? I haven't.

cHaOsPuNKgIRL Punk Posts: 662 Registered: Jun 2001	posted 07-24-2001 04:33 PM Hey-I don't know how many of you know this, but there is an independent film company that is in Minneapolis right now from California that is about to start producing a film about Mpls Punks. It's called the Last American. My friend Katy was just casted as the dead punk girl, but who is a main character that ends up dying in the end. Word around the campfire is that Onward to Mayhem might be playing in the show scene during the movie, too! I know they are still casting and looking for help behind the scenes, too. If anyone else is interested in being in this movie you should go to www.lifeformpictures.com or even if you just want information on the movie!! MrsPeel maybe you can talk them into having a scene with the TCPUNK page in use! I know they're still writing and rewriting the script, according to who they're casting for the roles. We could show them what Minneapolis is really about!! Sounds like they'll have a pretty cool soundtrack to it, too! IP: Logged

Vrooman Punk Posts: 588 Registered: Nov 2000	posted 07-27-2001 07:24 PM "Straight to Hell" Surprised that it hasn't already been listed here though eveyone's at least heard of it. Punk in cast only. IP: Logged
Jzzz Punk Posts: 1784 Registered: Apr 2000	posted 07-28-2001 04:05 PM I think it was called "Get Crazy" About some wacky teens trying to put on a new years eve show with Lou Reed As the top bill. IP: Logged
n.luther Lil Punk Posts: 3 Registered: May 2001	posted 07-30-2001 09:23 AM quote: Originally posted by secondthought: The most punk movie I've seen is "The Loneliness of a Long Distance Runner". [/B] Never heard of that movie, but there was an Angelic Upstarts song by the same name, mebbe the connection. Have I missed it or was "That Was Then, This is Now" missed? With parts filmed uptown and cameos from some of our own (e.g., Mark Anton, Pad Mulloy, Nick Osteen methinks). Also, Lee Ving played (what else?) a dumb fucker in "Dudes" with a cameo from Flea (who seems to get less interesting by the minute). Let's not forget Jello Biafra's cameo as a cop and Stiv Bator's major role in "Tapeheads" which also included Fishbone as a country combo called Ranchbone. IP: Logged
chain-wallet bitch Punk Posts: 592 Registered: Jul 2001	posted 08-02-2001 04:47 PM quote: Originally posted by Jzzz: Cafe Flesh...was not sucsessfull at turning on your average pud-puller, but I think it must have been intentionaly made that way I do remember that when Cafe Flesh was first released, people walked out of the theaters in droves, because despite the excellent cinematography, directing, and the explicitness of the sex scenes, it apparently wasn't sexy enough for good old fashioned vanilla porn-lovers. Most punks I knew hated it, even though they'll deny it now, because they were all pretending that they hated sex at the time, and the film does feature quite a bit of that. quote: Originally posted by Jzzz: the script credited to "Herbert W. Day" was penned by Jerry Stahl, famed Hollywood writer (Permanent Midnight) and notorious junkie hipster] Now THAT I did not know - funny, too, because I just saw Jerry a couple of months ago at Cafe Du Nord in S.F., reading some material from a forthcoming novel. He was in fine form, as was Lydia Lunch, who also read that evening. (sigh...) IP: Logged
Patti Pagan Punk Posts: 1401 Registered: Jul 2000	posted 08-03-2001 11:38 AM I know this isn't a punk movie but "Diva" was a movie not afraid to take chances...the plot revolves around a boy courier who is a devoted fan of a Jessye Norman-type diva (the real kind, not one of those adolescent, midriff-baring pop music wanna-be's with one name)who never has allowed her voice to be recorded as she believes it defiles her art. Boy courier records her surreptitiously &...you'll just have to see it. The onion cutting scene is really great. IP: Logged

Frank Lee Lil Punk Posts: 8 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 01-05-2002 03:26 AM Return of the Living Dead is one of my favorite movies. Bruiser- a new movie George Romero did the misfits got like a half hour in it. There's also some movie with ICP that for some reason has the misfits throwing doughnuts at cops or thats what my friend says. Demons- its some itallian (Dario Argento) horror film from the 80s that has punks in it and music but the only music I remember is Billy Idol. It's a good movie anyway. There's a sequel never saw it. Then there's the comedy that me and my friends wanna make lol. The punk rock movie too. IP: Logged
Frank Lee Lil Punk Posts: 8 Registered: Jan 2002	posted 01-05-2002 03:28 AM Oh and Hardcore Logo. Who in the flyer at the video store said that Joey Ramone was the star of the film. Turns out he's only in it for like 5 seconds. IP: Logged

I am not Spock Lil Punk Posts: 15 Registered: Dec 2001	posted 01-05-2002 10:06 AM Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The kid wore a Sid Vicious t-shirt for most of the movie. Plus guys with mohawks, some skateboarding. I can't remember if it is in the movie, but my friends told me that Circle Jerks is spray painted in the lair in the comic book. IP: Logged
Vrooman Punk Posts: 588 Registered: Nov 2000	posted 01-05-2002 02:24 PM "Hardware" - Iggy Pop's init. One of the few movies I've seen in the theater that I wanted to up and leave. I hadn't driven there so, I had to fidget in the seat. "Tank Girl" - Punk comic that was made waaaaay too soft by Hollywood. IP: Logged

Pete Scholtes Punk Posts: 329 Registered: Dec 2001	posted 02-01-2002 04:00 PM The Clash in the background in King of Comedy; When Pigs Fly, soundtracked by Joe Strummer; did anybody mention Daniel Day Lewis's gay street tough in My Beautiful Laundrette? Oh, and the punkish boy who learns to love dad, appreciate hard work, quit turning tricks, and take the piercings out of his face in Life as a House, easily the worst movie of last year bar Fat Girl.

trevolution Punk Posts: 589 Registered: Jul 2001	posted 02-01-2002 06:14 PM I'm sure it's been mentioned by now, but the low-budget p-rock masterpiece SUBURBIA, Hardware (has Lemmy and Iggy in it), the cult classic made in Minneapolis in the eighties for public TV where they had the mythological band Oswald Armageddon... what was the title... OH! Half Life! Another State of Mind. IP: Logged
Daley Punk Posts: 1406 Registered: Mar 2002	posted 10-22-2002 12:48 AM Howling II, Your Sister is a Werewolf has some excelent campy as hell new wavers that i think are supposed to pass for "punks" in the beginning. And of course they're the first to get killed because they're bad, evil people. Anybody know who the band in the opening bar scene are? If i make it all the way through the movie i'll let ya know.

mullhawk Punk Posts: 85 Registered: Dec 2001	posted 11-10-2002 08:02 PM What about Suburbia 1983. I love that one! Early 80's LA punk scene with live performances by TSOL, DI and the Vandals. It has terrible acting because all the actors were actual punk�s not professional actors. The sound and film quality is also really bad but the movie is great if you like low budget b-flicks. Also look for flea from Red Hot Chili peppers IP: Logged
St. Paddy Lil Punk Posts: 6 Registered: Sep 2002	posted 11-14-2002 02:10 PM Six String Samuri is a great rockabilly movie. the end of the world has come and one man must make it to vegas and become the king of rock n' roll. (killing many who try to spop him) also american history x - royal tanenbaums(ramones and velvet underground)- uncle buck - wet hot american summer has a punk rock teenage girl in a few scenes. and the movie is hysterical.
