"Punk" film recs
So I just watched Repo Man yesterday for the third or fourth time, and it really got me thinking this time:
I'd like to check out more "punk" genre films. They have a really interesting feel, almost exploitative. I've seen a few of the more popular ones (Repo Man, The Warriors, etc.), but I'd like to check out more of these. Anyone have any recommendations?

Those would make for a good starter list.

I've seen a few of those, but the rest I'm queuing as soon as I'm done typing. Excellent. Thanks, bud.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082226/ This is a great movie! Detailing the Sex Pistols rise to fame and their only American tour. Rare footage of Sid and Nancy interviewed in a hotel bed that is HARROWING- as good as the movie Sid and Nancy is, it just can't compare to seeing the real thing. I'll second the recommendations on Suburbia- really amazing movie directed by Penelope Spheeris. Likewise Liquid Sky is a GREAT movie- dunno if I'd call it punk though- it's kind of new wavey sci-fi. And Up in Smoke? That's a HIPPIE movie! It's Cheech & Chong!

EDIT - I am sure Elvis has plenty of recs to throw in here, too. Just wait till he comes on.

Not sure if this qualifies as a "punk movie" but I was a big fan of Empire Records in high school.

You need to check out The Filth and the Fury. It is an early 2000s documentary movie based on The Sex Pistols band. Pretty powerful stuff.

I'm pretty green on this genre myself, but I'd second __V__'s rec of Class of 1984, if you haven't already seen it.
That movie is just the definition of badass.
