Bruce W sends us "Repo Man" (1984) - After being fired from his job as a supermarket clerk, Los Angeles slacker and punk rocker Otto (Emilio Estevez) lands a gig working for an eccentric repossession agent named Bud (Harry Dean Stanton). Otto learns of a 1964 Chevy Malibu driving around L.A. with a large repo-bounty on it. The Malibu belongs to J. Frank Parnell, a nuclear physicist (Fox Harris), who keeps dead aliens in his trunk and drives with the calm of a man who has seen too much. The government wants the car. The repo men want the four-thousand-dollar bounty on it. Punks, lizards, and a UFO cult all circle in. Alex Cox wrote and directed the film on a low budget, blending science fiction with the deadpan comedy of Los Angeles punk life in the early 1980s. Produced by Michael Nesmith of the Monkees fame.
