I watched this movie about 100 times in college alone. Many times since.

This is my favorite cult film. Cosmic Unconsciousness. Oh yeah.

How many times have you watched Repo Man?

John

fezz parka · July 2nd, 2009, 11:36 PM

Great film.

TeleBrew · July 2nd, 2009, 11:39 PM

Great soundtrack.

fezz parka · July 2nd, 2009, 11:40 PM

The Plugz baby!

stxrus · July 2nd, 2009, 11:43 PM

I think it's a finite time window. My wife's 42 and considers it a cult classic. I'm 36 and consider it a great example of bad cinema. I'm a fan of bad cinema, but not all bad movies should be cult classics. That should be reserved for "Reefer Madness", "The Rocky Horror Picture Show". "Office Space" and the Evil Dead series, especially "Army of Darkness"

Jahmbie · July 2nd, 2009, 11:55 PM

"I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees."

Harry Dean Stanton is the MAN. Grew up about 25 miles from where I live.

The punk guy crying to the punk girl....

"I wanna have your baby"

I don't think you need to be under the infuence of anything to enjoy a twisted/funny movie with good music stxrus. It's a bit like Napoleon Dynamite....the unique people made me love the movie.

Drunkinminer · July 3rd, 2009, 12:47 AM

Alot of my friends (who also are BIG Broadway fans) think this movie is a POS but then I come back with the response that they are the same people who think Honk and Billy Elliot are great pieces of work. Besides at least Repo is original not like all of the other Broadwayway musicals out there rip offs of hit or in some cases miss movies.

The Bone · July 3rd, 2009, 12:52 AM

The Bone · July 3rd, 2009, 12:59 AM

this book. It's called Diuretics. Matter over mind.

Muddslide · July 3rd, 2009, 01:00 AM

Big fan here. Also like Alex Cox's Straight to Hell.

I believe Michael Nesmith was involved in the production of Repo Man, at least as far as putting up $$$ for the project.

And yeah, the sdtrk. is excellent...the final instrumental by The Plugz is gorgeous and it has a killer Iggy Pop tune that isn't available anywhere else (the title track.)

boris bubbanov · July 3rd, 2009, 01:01 AM

Ultra cool.

One of my very favorite movies.

Emilio Esteves.

Brad Pittiful · July 3rd, 2009, 01:17 AM

i have the repo man soundtrack on vinyl

Wardpike · July 3rd, 2009, 01:19 AM

That's what I was sorta thinking, Boris... "Emilio Esteban? Didn't he make them country box guitars?"

schoolie · July 3rd, 2009, 01:25 AM

You know David Lynch is filming the sequel...

casterway · July 3rd, 2009, 01:36 AM

"Pick that up! You pick that up!!"

Skully · July 3rd, 2009, 01:44 AM

Back in the '90s, there truly was a sequel in the works, titled "Otto's Hawaiian Holiday."

We used to quote the movie all the time.

"You do a lot of acid, Miller, back in the hippie days?"

"Have a nice day, Uh, night. Night, day, doesn't mean sh*t."

"Credit is a sacred trust, it's what our free society is founded on. Do you think they give a damn about their bills in Russia?"

"I don't want no commies in my car. No Christians either."

"Look at 'em, ordinary f*****g people, I hate 'em."

"Since time is short and you may lie, I'm going to have to torture you."

"I kill people like you!"

I still say the last one a lot. People just think I'm crazy.

Eek. Now, that is truly one of the worst movies of all time.

brokenjoe · July 3rd, 2009, 11:02 AM

"You gonna give me my car, or do I gotta go to your house and shove your dog's head down the toilet?"

Dirty Steve · July 3rd, 2009, 11:19 AM

Holds a favoured place in my dvd collection. Love it.

studio1087 · July 3rd, 2009, 11:31 AM

"You find one in every car"

They have the widescreen version at Best Buy for $14.99 and my sister gave me a $10.00 BB gift card for my birthday a couple weeks ago. I'm buying a copy. I'm going to relive the weirdness.

John

Skully · July 3rd, 2009, 11:34 AM

Back in the '80s, I put one of those fresheners in my car because of "Repo Man." Sometime in the early '90s, I decided that the in-joke wasn't reason enough to have that tacky thing dangling from my rearview.

Skully · July 3rd, 2009, 11:36 AM

Another favorite quote:

"There's f****n' room to move as a fry cook. I could be manager in two years. King. God."

kyle1167 · July 3rd, 2009, 11:59 AM

"A repo man is always intense"
I couldn't even tell you how many times I've seen this movie.
I graduated highschool in '85 and had this listed as my favorite movie for my senior interview, after reading it my brother-in-law patted me on the back and said "I didn't know you were cool".

numeric · July 3rd, 2009, 12:41 PM

EDIT: They beat me to it!

Sadly I have never seen the whole movie, and can't find it anywhere.

TeleBits · July 3rd, 2009, 12:56 PM

I own the DVD .. The "Repo mans code " sort of shaped my life .. Ok, not really , but I Really like Harry Dean .. and the music is great..

Charlie Bernstein · July 3rd, 2009, 03:44 PM

A few times. But just on video. Missed it when it was out.

hollowman · July 3rd, 2009, 04:11 PM

Brilliant Movie! I love the satire. Killer soundtrack! And so many memorable lines! great ones above! I think I'll rent it this weekend for my nth viewing...

"Beautiful evening; you can almost see the stars"
"You ever feel as if your mind had started to erode?" J Frank Parnell

and one of my favorites by Miller "The more you drive, the less intelligent you are"

Do you have a "Family Video" store in Ames? We rented it yesterday from one in Cedar Rapids. The section it was in you can rent it for five nights for a dollar and get another from that section for free. We walked out with four movies for a little over three bucks and have them til Wed.

This is pretty much how I feel, although it is other people in their early 40's (not my wife) that consider it a cult classic, Maybe it is the age difference cause I am 32 and feel the same as you...... I saw it once and I think I was to young to appreciate it for what it was for and because I though it was kind of a "blah" movie I never ended up watching it again.

I might have to give it another go now that I have "matured" (yeah right) and see if it does anything for me.

Paul in Colorado · July 4th, 2009, 11:21 AM

I own a VHS copy. I love that movie. I like the generic boxes and cans labled "Food."

CVTele Dan · July 4th, 2009, 12:44 PM

Never saw the movie but I was a repo man for a while. Interesting experience.

fuzzferatu · July 4th, 2009, 01:50 PM

"I blame society. Society made me what I am."
"That's bu11sh1t. You're a white suburban punk, just like me."
"But it ... still... hurts... GAKKKK."

One of my all time, enduring favorites. I swear half the film entered my vocabulary in some way.

What's this David Lynch rumor about?

David Barnett · July 4th, 2009, 01:52 PM

I only saw it once at the theater, but have seen it dozens of times since, I had a roommate who had it on VHS. It's been quite a while now, I could stand to see it right now. True Classic.

In the theater, I knew it was going to be good as soon as the opening credits started.
