After Hours

A Scorsese comedy?

Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Teri Garr, and Cheech and Chong star in this black comedy from 1985.

Bored office guy ventures out late one night to date a woman he meets in a coffee shop. On his way to Greenwich Village, he loses all the cash he has on him. His date goes miserably and all he wants to do is get to his uptown home.

Seemingly disparate characters and events all tie together to prevent him from reaching his goal.

Somewhat far fetched and long at times, this is still a very creative and interesting film that explores that different world that is teeming with crazy characters while the rest of us a tucked away safely in bed.

Strange, dark, and funny.

Heathers

1989 dark comedy directed by Michael Lehmann and starring Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.

High school girl takes up with the school's rebel to rid the school of a clique of uber-popular girls. Outrageous and certainly different.

Slater's performance stands out as he channels Jack Nicholson. Winona Ryder shines.

The Fisher King

Another gem from Terry Gilliam.

1991 black comedy stars Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams.

Depressed radio host Bridges driven to dark despair is inspired by a homeless man (Williams) on his own quest for salvation. At times hysterically funny and at other times deeply emotional, The Fisher King is unique and absorbing.
