Films that capture a time and place

[Uncle Ethan]

The Last Picture Show.

I found Ragtime utterly immersive when channel 4 showed it at an ungodly hour in the mid 90s. Was tripping mind, but it got me into the book which I still adore. No idea if the film still stands up as it's unavailable for streaming or region 2 Blu ray/dvd.

[Gangster Octopus]

For anyone interested, Pillow Talk is currently on BBC4...

[Hot Pepsi]

For anyone interested, Pillow Talk is currently on BBC4...

That's been on TV frequently for as long as I can recall.

[Amor de Cosmos]

The Last Picture Show.

Good shout. It was actually filmed in Larry McMurtry's home town of Archer, TX.

[Patrick Thistle]

Deeply, deeply uncool.

In Seinfeld, Scarsdale Surprise is the Broadway show that Kramer gets a Tony award for despite not being involved in it, and then gets beaten up by Raquel Welch.
