THIS WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT PEOPLE!!!! 1970, Jack Nicholson works in an oil field about in Texas or somthing. Him and his girl friend go bowling with his workin' buddy and his wife. They have a few beers at their trailer as they watch tv. She plays "STAND BY YOUR MAN" on the record player as she does her makeup while sitting in the sink to get closer to the mirror. I don't know if there's a word for movies like this. There should be, because that word would be the name of my favorite sub-genre.
Urban Cowboy, The Buddy Holly Story, Coal Miners Daughter, Hud, The Last Picture Show, Easy Rider, Thelma and Louis.
There's not a lot of them... but it's great that i'm still finding them.
Nicholson, like Travolta, fits that role quite well. But no one does it like Tommy Lee Jones.
I'd rather put up the first 10 minutes of this film because it's an amazing beginning. But the only thing on youtube is this one scene which is good but not the stuff dreams are made of.
