Watch Barfly

[Resident Asshole]

Yes, if you haven't seen the movie you are not a true drunkard. I will stand by that. I don't want to hear anymore whiny shit about how you can't find it. Don't bother looking at your local rental store or the library or your brother's DVD collection. They don't have it. But, it was re-released in 2009. The original releases are worth a lot of money but the re-release is normally priced.

There it is. No more bitching. It's PAL format but my player plays it and an Xbox will play it also. If you can't play PAL they have the other version for $30 and the VHS for $8. And if you can't afford $18 then I will mail it to you for the cost of shipping. Now watch it. It is truly the best drunkard movie. Cheers!

Sylvester Stallone's brother is the bartender in the movie and check out this descrip:

"The script for this movie was written by outrageous poet-author-alcoholic Charles Bukowski. But director Barbet Schroeder makes it into an oddly amusing story of a pugnacious drunk writer (Mickey Rourke) based on Bukowski himself. Rourke spends almost all of his time at the bar, struggling with undrunkenness (he's against it) and, occasionally, having fistfights with the bartender (Frank Stallone). He meets another souse, a formerly attractive woman (Faye Dunaway), and gets involved with her, which means they drink copious amounts of liquor and try to have sex. "

and Buk himself makes a cameo appearance in one of the bar scenes.

The perfect movie to watch while drinking.

As far as I can tell this PAL region 0 thing seems to be a total ripoff for people in the U.S. Good info that it works on Xbox, but in any case, just download the shit for free, it's 2011, or take up Mr. Asshole up on his "just the cost of shipping" offer. I might.

Oh! Thanks for the heads up. Just got it, for 18.80. Seems everytime I looked for it, it was MIA. I'm sure this window of opportunity will close soon. A couple of weeks ago. I scored "Lady Beware" and a year or so ago, I finally snagged a clear copy of "All the Marbles" for Grumpy. He loves those big wrassling gals. And Peter Falk. RIP. I loved his Columbo show.

This is exactly why we need people like RA on this board. To kick our asses for not owning Barfly on DVD. Thanks, RA, this thread inspired me to search for the dvd on a dutch internetstore and I have ordered it for 9.90 €. Should be delivered in a week or so. I'm gonna make a special section in my liquor cabinet where I'll put the 'great to watch while drinking' dvd's, so I can load on whisky and take out a dvd simultaneously. This way I wont have to plow through piles of kids dvd's (and the kids can't put their fingerprints on MY dvd's).

If any budding CCC attendees have not yet seen Barfly, I will bring it with me.

Yep. They're made of matzo.

What, a hurricane will cause giants to have Elvis's haircut and chops?

Ya gotta understand, I'm from South Israel. We haven't yet got the memo about po'k chops. Too busy making bathtub crank and tailoring pearl buttoned cowboy shirts for the Gentiles.
