Repo Man is such a punk movie! From the opening music to the angry punk protagonist to the final credits that dare scroll in reverse, it's punk as hell. Note the authority figures all coming across as terrible caricatures, or the ridiculous no-name non-brands giving the finger to product placement (though it's uneven because the locations can't escaping branding). And I'm there for it. Repo man Harry Dean Stanton takes Emilio Estevez under his wing, initiating a comedy about "valorous" car thieves working for the system, while a weird Men in Black/UFO story develops in the background. These intersect thanks to a very special car with a bounty on it, and if you've only heard about Repo Man, it's probably in connection to the glowing briefcase in Pulp Fiction - the idea comes from this car. Well, while everything is played more for comedy and weirdness, it's obvious Tarantino rated this film highly. It's not just the glowing MacGuffin, but the surf music and the messy violence; there's even a Mexican stand-off of a sort. A wild eff you to movie conventions and a trunk load of fun.
There isn't a better movie. Alex Cox shot the mold in the head, had it cremated, had it cremated again, and then shot the dusty particulars into space. This is the greatest film of all time.
