Return of the Living Dead - "Do you wanna paaarrrrttyyyy - its party time!"

i also liked a few odd indie flicks - Six String Samurai and Radioactive Dreams

also - probably someone said this above -but Sid and Nancy is one of my all-time favorite flicks

I'll second these ones for sure...

Suburbia (The older one with Flea, not so much the 90s with Giovanni Ribisi)
SLC Punk
DOA
Sid & Nancy
Trainspotting (Not sure I'd call it a punk film, but it's a great movie nonetheless.)
American History X (See Trainspotting comment)

Yeah, I figured he'd have quite a few to throw in there.

I should be occupied for a while, though.

Thanks for the recs, guys!
And keep 'em coming, if so inclined.

That's the first one that comes to mind for me, too.

In a way, Road Warrior is distinctly industrial punk meets apocalypse.

Bump for Elvis.

C'mon, bud. I need your help!

Suburbia is essential viewing it really captures that era its THE punk flick.

Ex Drummer is fucking amazing. Can't recommend that one enough!

This Is England explores the skinhead culture a lot more than Romper Stomper and gives you an idea of what early 80s England would've been like.

I guess its up to interpretation of what defines a "punk" movie but here's some that weren't mentioned (including some documentaries):

Intrepidos Punks
Population: 1
Hard Core Logo
Class Of 1999
1990: The Bronx Warriors
Dogs In Space
Class Of Nuke 'em High
Reform School Girls
Straight To Hell
No Apparent Motive
The Great Rock n' Roll Swindle
Rude Boy
Another State Of Mind
American Hardcore
Hated
The Decline Of Western Civilization I & III
(the third one is great)
Rock n' Roll High School


All I can think of right now there's a bunch I'm forgetting :D

Ah, that's perfect.
Thanks so much!

And thanks again everyone for all of your recommendations.
Like I said, I'll be busy for a while. :cool:

Good list...

There's also (if they haven't been mentioned)

Made in Britain with Tim Roth
Meantime has a Skinhead played by Gary Oldman in it and a bit of punk music.
The punk and the Princess (never seen it)

Scum (not really a punk movie at all but popular amongst the punks and skins)
Clockwork orange (again not punk...but loved by P's and S's)

(Hated in the Nation: Flew to bloody Sweden the other day to see The Murder Junkies to here some GG songs...damn concert was cancelled)

Elvis_Christ 11-09-2008 05:06 AM

Scum and Made In Britain are great films. Alan Clarke (RIP) was a great director.

I caught Meantime on TV years ago and have always meant to track it down again.
