Repo Man

Aliens, punk rock, AND Harry Dean Stanton. This is one of my FAVE movies of all time. Lot's of quotable lines too.

Directed by Alex Cox (Sid and Nancy, Wonderland)
Starring Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton
Produced by Michael Nesmith (former Monkee and whose mom invented white-out)

Emilio Estevez plays Otto, a punk kid whose parents are more interested in their cult leader than him. So what's an ex-stock boy to do for cash? He reluctantly gets a job repossessing cars, but soon finds out that the life of a repo man in always intense. Meanwhile, there's a crazy dude driving around with radioactive aliens in the trunk of his car. 

Not only is this movie funny but on a higher level it deals with the power of chance meetings and their consequences. But are these mere coincidences or the result of fate? Is everything in the universe actually connected? 

Repo Man has an awesome soundtrack that includes the title song by Iggy Pop along with Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Suicidal Tendencies, Fear, etc.
