You are very welcome, I'll consider adding some more to this list soon.

Bumping and archiving a good thread, anyone else know of any classic movies to watch?

Interesting stuff.

>What counts as a good film for me? Story must be intriguing and get you hooked. Acting must be good, believable and unique.

I agree but another problem I have with a lot of tv shows and movies is over-dramatization by some actors, that too can make an entire movie or series unbelievable. For the story to be believable it has to have actors who can play the scenes as if it was happening to them in real life. What made movies like "The Shining" a gem to watch is not exactly the story itself, it was the great actors who made it actually believable when in all reality something that far-fetched would never really happen. The actors' talent made unrealistic possibilities seem very surreal. I could say the same for movies like "The Bad Seed" or the tv series "The X-Files".

bumping a legit thread

Some good movies to watch for Christmas with family:

It's a Wonderful Life (1946)
Trading Places (1983)
Christmas Story (1983)
Home Alone (1990)
The old Christmas Carols (30s and 50s film the best, '84 film was OK)
Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Miracle on 34th Street (1947)

I watched another movie for the first time called "Hell Bent", the 1995 film to be clear. Very good acting for amateur kids recruited off the street for making this low budget film. The story line was pretty insane and intense. It's about a group of bored juvenile delinquent preteens living in an average suburb who become increasingly violent and sociopathic as they find amusement in committing crimes and ruining the lives of other people around them.

Alexandra's Project (2003). A normal man has a normal family with a normal job. It's his birthday. He also got a promotion at work. Everything is going very well for him.... Until he comes home from work.... He tries to turn on the lights, none work. He calls out to his family thinking there would be a surprise waiting for him. His family is gone. He tries to make a phone call. The phone lines are cut off. One appliance works. A television set with a VCR. On top of the old TV is a video cassette tape. What was recorded on that cassette tape makes his worst nightmares come true and turns his whole life upside down.

>>45942
I have seen the movie Eraserhead before, well worth the watch if you like oddball B-flicks. I have not seen Twin Peaks, at least yet, but will look into that show.

>>41552
If you enjoy films that are fringe and suspenseful I would recommend Bad Boy Bubby, and another film by the same director recently mentioned above, Alexandra's Project. I would not recommend watching those two films with family, both containing some violence and sexually questionable content.

The Bad Seed (1956). When a young boy dies and an investigation is leading the authority nowhere, a mother who's daughter was in the same class as the murdered boy starts finding evidence that her own daughter may have had something to do with the murder of her peer.

There is also a new movie that came out in 2018, although I have not seen the newer version (yet).

The Sugarland Express (1974). Based on a true story of real events that happened back in 1969 in Texas, a woman has her child taken from the State and placed in foster care. When she visits her previously incarcerated husband she convinces him to assist her with taking back the child. After hitchhiking, grand theft auto and a car wreck, they take a patrol officer hostage as police and the Texas highway patrol all pursue them. It becomes a risky gambit for all involved, and you would be shocked just how many resources were used to pursue this notorious outlaw couple.

Paris, Texas (1984). When a dehydrated man collapses in an old gas station in the middle of a Texas desert, a doctor is called to help save him. The doctor recovers some of his personal records and contacts his brother to pick him up. The man had been missing for four years, and his brother and step-sister had been taking care of his kid while his wife abandoned the family after he went missing. The kid and his long-lost father set out on a journey to find the mother/wife after given clues to where she might be working. As the film unfolds, so does the full dramatic story of what exactly happened to him and his wife before the both of them broke family ties and went missing.

Red River (1948). Western Dunson leads a cattle drive to sell beef stock wholesale - the culmination of 14 years of hard labor, ranching and branding - from Texas to Missouri. His hires, including a top-notch gunman Matt Garth, set out for Missouri, but along the way not everything goes as planned. Along the way misfortunes and lost lives spoil the mindset of Dunson, trying to cope from lack of sleep, a gunshot wound and binge-drinking whiskey. Along the way a feud takes place between Dunson and Garth over whether to travel to another destination in Kansas or keep heading to Missouri to make a sales contract. The group slits up, as Dunson seeks to kill his former partner Garth for perceived betrayal.

>>46059
There's also a 1985 version with David Carradine as the 'tard maintenance guy. Only made it 20 minutes in before I gave up. The '50s version, with the always scintillating Eileen Heckart, is the only one to watch, despite the hilariously bad Hays Code ending.

Lucy And Desi (2022). This documentary explores and uncovers the lives and careers of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz as well their rather rocky personal relationship and controversies before, during and long after they created one of the most famous American sitcoms "I Love Lucy" that aired in the 1950s. This documentary will reveal it all, even some of the sad secrets they would have rather kept out of public knowledge.

>>41119
Torrente's decent OP. Just kinda crazy sometimes

The Bicycle Thief (1948) [also titled "Bicycle Thieves" internationally]. Highlighting the hardship of post-World War II life for the average Italian working class, this film is about a man who relies on his bicycle to commute to work to make a living. He is offered a job of pasting advertising posters around the city, but is no longer able to work when his bicycle is stolen. Desperate to find the thief he recruits his comrades to help find the bicycle and bring the thief to justice. Doing so in a crowded city proves to be an extremely difficult task and time is running out for the victim as he gets desperate to continue to earn a living or face homelessness.

This film was originally in a foreign language but you can now get it with English subtitles and voice dubbed if you are too lazy to read subtitles as an American I can sympathize lol.

One Hour Photo (2002). A photo technician who works in a suburban big-box store lives alone with no friends or family outside his career. His favorite costumers are the only ones he knows anything about as he had years of experience developing their personal photos. When he becomes obsessed with one particular family he becomes mentally unstable after finding out the husband is cheating on his wife, a long-time customer he adores and admires. After being fired from his job for indiscrepancies during an audit over hundreds of photos developed and stolen, he seeks his own form of justice as he becomes disillusioned and unhinged.

A Clockwork Orange is a 1971 dystopian crime film adapted, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick, based on Anthony Burgess's 1962 novel of the same name. It employs disturbing, violent images to comment on psychiatry, juvenile delinquency, youth gangs, and other social, political, and economic subjects in a dystopian near-future Britain.

Alex (Malcolm McDowell), the central character, is a charismatic, antisocial delinquent whose interests include classical music (especially Beethoven), committing rape, theft, and ultra-violence. He leads a small gang of thugs, Pete (Michael Tarn), Georgie (James Marcus), and Dim (Warren Clarke), whom he calls his droogs (from the Russian word друг, which is "friend", "buddy"). The film chronicles the horrific crime spree of his gang, his capture, and attempted rehabilitation via an experimental psychological conditioning technique (the "Ludovico Technique") promoted by the Minister of the Interior (Anthony Sharp). Alex narrates most of the film in Nadsat, a fractured adolescent slang composed of Slavic languages (especially Russian), English, and Cockney rhyming slang.


Here's a trailer for it

https://invidious.snopyta.org/watch?v=9JIc_1v7i88

Warning: the novel is a lot worse than the film

The Holy Mountain is a 1973 Mexican surreal film directed, written, produced, co-scored, co-edited by and starring Alejandro Jodorowsky, who also participated as a set designer and costume designer on the film. Following Jodorowsky's underground hit El Topo, acclaimed by both John Lennon and George Harrison, the film was produced by the Beatles manager Allen Klein of ABKCO Music and Records. Lennon and Yoko Ono put up production money.

Dystopian films used to be fun watching but now that more than half of the world's population is living in a dystopian world it's lost it's thrill and twisted authenticity. Not that all of them are bad films, just saying.

>>46595
Yeah most of those movies are literal realities nowadays. Depending on where you live in

Take The Money And Run (1969). What happens when you get a inept dimwitted incompetent loon as a failed criminal, who cannot help committing more crime trying to free himself from his past failures in life? As the criminal charges add up, so does his failures but that does not seem to stop the fool. What do we get? A mockumentary film directed by Woody Allen sounds all to plausible.

My Bodyguard (1980). A boy who lives with his father and grandmother in a luxury hotel managed by his father in Chicago suddenly changes schools. As a new student at Lake View High School he learns about a racket and extortion scheme by a group of bullies who extort students for lunch money in order to be "safeguarded" against other bullies, bullies who conveniently work with one another. When another student returns to school after being investigated for the alleged murder of his brother, no one wants to hang around with the kid, not even the bullies. The new student learns the truth about the alleged murderer knowing what most students did not know, he was innocent and the death was just a tragic accident. Knowing this, he recruits the suspected murderer to protect his class from the bullies. But things do not go as planned when they too start finding out the truth. Without the facadé as a killer, the big kid doesn't look so tough.

Jesus Revolution (2023). Based on a true story about a Christian revival movement started in the early 1970s in the aftermath of the hippie movement, a pastor (at first hesitantly) welcomes a group of former hippies into his church to find Christ and tell their stories of how they became re-born. Much of the traditional old-school congregation became shocked and appalled when the doors to the church were opened to drop-outs, outcasts, misfits, hobos, drunks and drug addicts but none-the-less the pastor realized the only way to help save the youth was to welcome them with open arms to find Christ. And to the shock of the world it became the most successful Christian revival movement America had ever seen and to this very day thousands of troubled youth are still turning to God.

What's the name of the person/group who started it?

The pastor just wanted to fuck stoned hippy sluts.

>>46940
>What's the name of the person/group who started it?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonnie_Frisbee

But there may be others who influenced Frisbee as well, so it's not exactly like he himself started the whole movement. Note he was part of the commune movements in the 1960s.

>>46941
If you desire to read the whole story in detail, with spoilers, refer to the wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_Revolution

I simply made a brief summary without including too much detail as I usually prefer doing. In no way am I into professionally critiquing films, nor have I heard anything about the pastor taking advantage of younger women (although that is entirely possible lol). If you find the story line interesting then you can research more yourself or simply watch the movie sometime.

>>46941
He probably got some STDs for all of that action he got

>>46952

That is a lot of crazy stories

What kind of name is "Frisbee" though?

>Pi
>(A brilliant yet paranoid mathematician who built his own supercomputer is in search of a number that will unlock the secret patterns behind nature and life. But as he is watching and keeping track of stock market algorithms, other individuals and organizations are watching and keeping track of him, 1998)

I just watched this movie again today after finding out the actor Mark Margolis died. He played a character in the movie Pi who helps Max find the missing number before dying of a stroke. Good actor, also was known for his appearances on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul too.

https://www.tmz.com/2023/08/04/breaking-bad-mark-margolis-dead🦊🎲s-tio-hector-salamanca/

I consider Pi a classic film for those who like strange gritty psychological thrillers.

all these movies are nice but who you gonna call?

Repulsion (1965). A mentally unstable sexually-confused but charming young girl relies on her older sister to live and pay the monthly rent. What happens when the older sister has a new boyfriend and they go out of town to take a vacation together while the young girl is all alone? What happens when other men make a pass at this young, sexy but unhinged girl? What will her sister and her sister's boyfriend do when they get back to find a life that has flipped upside down?

Summer of '84 (2018). Taking place back in the year 1984 in the suburbs of Ipswich of Cape May, Oregon a group of teenagers are fascinated with the latest news about an unknown serial killer kidnapping and murdering teenagers around their local area. One of the teenagers swears he saw first hand evidence of a potential victim gone missing. The bizarre and ironic issue is that his testimony points to a police detective who has been neighbors with his family since he was a young child. Of-course no one would believe a well established police detective would be involved with a conspiracy to kidnap and murder teenagers, especially those in the local community. However, the group of teenagers stay dedicated to finding out who the killer really is, and gathering evidence no matter how risky the tasks may be. Could the killer happen to be someone everyone least expected?

PS: This is probably one of the best modern horror films I have seen since Desolation which came out a year before this film!

High Noon (1952). A local marshal who once jailed a dangerous criminal who was arrested for murder just got married to a beautiful young woman, and was set to retire by high noon. Just before retiring and leaving town with his newly-wed, news comes out that the dangerous criminal was released from prison on bond.

His newly-wed wishes he would just retire and leave with her, while he struggles to convince her why he should stay and defend the town. He has until high noon to convince her, before the criminal gang of cowboys comes back to town for brutal vengeance.

Thieves' Highway (1949). A veteran of World War II arrives back home where his girlfriend, soon-to-be wife, is currently living with his elderly parents. The veteran decides to go into business with a new friend he meets, trucking fresh apples from the country out to San Francisco.

Patty McCormick grew up to be a babe in her 20s and 30s. Today she is 72 years old.

Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1972). A series of murders plague the Las Vegas strip. An investigative reporter takes up the case himself to attempt helping the local police identify the killer. The case gets odd when anomalies take place during the investigations, such as all victims having their blood consumed to the abnormal features of the killer from witnesses. Kolchak starts to suspect this killer is not exactly human, but the local police show a strong normality bias and rule that out... that is, until Kolchak can find solid proof.

Kolchak: The Night Strangler (1973). Investigative reporter Kolchak takes up another case in Seattle to help local police identify a unique quirky serial strangler. Kolchak learns from the coroner's report that the all the victims' necks were crushed with brute inhuman strength, drained blood and traces of rotting flesh on their necks. After Kolchak consults a criminal records librarian to research other similar unsolved anomalies, he realizes the same strangler has struck before, again and again and again, every 21 years and then goes into hiding, with records dating back to the year 1889. When he confronts the local police about his study, as happened last time, they show a strong normality bias and do their best to refute certain evidence. Kolchak again has to come up with solid proof that the serial strangler is well over 100 years of age and may - or may not - be human.

I bought a DVD box set of this Kojak movie series recently. Not to be mistaken with the above two Kolchak movies; Kojak was a successful TV series in the 1970s, which still remains a cult classic today. I also have the DVD box set of the TV series. If you like the TV series, you would like these movies as well:

Premise: Telly Savalas plays a New York City Detective Lieutenant for the local police department in Manhattan. He is assigned to help solve cases such as kidnappings, professional burglary, organized crime, espionage, assassination plots, killings and more. Kojak was well known and memed over the years for his sassy remarks to women and he often sucked on lollipops in certain scenes as a substitute to quit smoking cigarettes.

Anyone making a list compilation for all the movies being posted here?

The Darjeeling Limited

The Darjeeling Limited is a 2007 American comedy-drama film directed by Wes Anderson, which he co-produced with Scott Rudin, Roman Coppola, and Lydia Dean Pilcher, and co-wrote with Roman Coppola and Jason Schwartzman. The film stars Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Schwartzman as three estranged brothers who agree to meet in India a year after their father's funeral for a "spiritual journey" aboard a luxury train. The cast also includes Waris Ahluwalia, Amara Karan, Barbet Schroeder, and Anjelica Huston, with Natalie Portman, Camilla Rutherford, Irrfan Khan, and Bill Murray in cameo roles.

The film was released on October 26, 2007, by Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film received generally favorable reviews from critics and earned $35 million on a $17.5 million budget.[1] The film premiered at the 64th Venice International Film Festival in competition for the Golden Lion and was named among the Top Films of the Year at the 2007 NYFCO Awards.

Anderson's Hotel Chevalier, starring Schwartzman and Portman, acts as a prologue to the film.

Like most Wes Anderson films, it has nice visuals and is kinda depressing and melancholic at the end of the film. For a few minutes at least

The Fugitive (1993). A surgeon living in Chicago returns home one night to find his wife brutally beaten to death while the murderer escapes during a tense fight. Police arrive to the scene to find the surgeon roughed up after the fight with the murderer. The murderer was a professional leaving no incriminating evidence that he was ever there. The police later charge the innocent surgeon for the murder of his wife. After being convicted in court and having a death sentence imposed, fellow prisoners attempt an escape which leaves the prisoner transport bus crashing. The surgeon reluctantly escapes and begins a deadly mission to find the murderer who killed his wife and prove his innocence after doing so. All the while a State-wide manhunt begins for the missing fugitive.

It was a good film, I wish I could find more like it honestly. Most modern horror films suck, most are all about shilling the newest flashy special effects and whoring gore but no believable or persuasive story to them and (mostly) mediocre acting. If you want a good film follow three rules: good story line that captures interest, good acting, keep politics out of it unless absolutely necessary for the premise of the story. I plan on watching more and posting about the good ones soon.

Silent Tongue (1994). Based on old Western folk lore about a Native American ghost and her grieving mentally unstable husband, his wife comes back from the dead to haunt him after the husband failed to burn her dead body. She threatens to curse him and his father, his father being the man who purchased her and introduced her to his son years ago before she passed away during child labor. Little does the son know the horrific past about the kidnapping and slave labor of his former Native American wife, or the fact she also has a sister who was sold by the same local carnival manager, an obnoxious drunk who regularly hosts freak shows and vaudeville acts with poor, disabled and trafficked victims exploited for profits. Will the father be able to convince his son to burn the dead body of his wife? Will the ghost's sister be the one to stop the haunting? Will the father and son both be cursed to an early grave? Will long overdue justice come to those engaged in human trafficking and inhumane exploitation? Watch this intensely insane and gritty old Western horror story to find out.

It's like an old Western and dystopian horror combined in one flick. It's definitely not my favorite movie although I do give them credit for the unique story line and good acting. Plus the fact they are not heavily relying on special effects to grab the attention of the audience. It's not among the best films I have seen but it is definitely not a bad film either.

Chinatown (1974). Based in the 1920s era, a private investigator is hired to investigate an engineer working for the LA Water and Power company who is suspected of cheating on his wife, later to find out the woman who hired him is not the engineer's real wife. The purpose was to publicly discredit the engineer and cost him his job. After the effort failed, the engineer is found murdered and dumped into a local reservoir. The private investigation leads to a grand criminal conspiracy relating to a large dispute between the LA Water and Power company and the murdered chief engineer, who ended up refusing to build a new dam to divert water (presumably meant to stop LA's massive drought crisis). What is uncovered during this investigation involves massive corruption, graft and fraud: a scam to milk LA taxpayers while enriching new land owners who exploited the drought to buy up farm land for pennies on the dollar, before enriching themselves by diverting water with a new damn over to their new properties using taxpayer money from LA.

In The Year 2889 (1967). Based on a future dystopian post-nuclear world war event, a father and his daughter have enough supplies and food to survive comfortably for three months. Although they live rural, far outside any populated city, eventually desperate nearby survivors show up to their home begging for food and water. Hesitantly the father invites them into the home pressured by the generosity of his lonely daughter. However, not every single survivor invited into their home intends to remain friendly as rations are being depleted from the locked storage room. What's worse, the impact of global radiation is making existing wildlife mutate into creatures much more dangerous and unpredictable. Will the family and the survivors be able to survive? What happens to humanity after nuclear world war?

Panic In Year Zero (1962). An American family goes on a camping trip the day LA is struck by a Soviet nuke. When they hear the emergency alert over the radio, the father diverts to a few small rural towns to go shopping to buy and stockup on basic essentials before all the panic sets in. The family then has to survive while the country is placed under martial law, as looting, rape and killing begins. The marauders are exploiting the crisis on the take, juvenile delinquents are robbing homes and abusing women and children, the mass exodus of people fleeing the cities is causing chaos, supply shortages and traffic jams. The family has to get out of dodge and fend for themselves to survive as the US military takes law enforcement into their own hands.

A Night to Remember (1958). Based on the 1955 book by Walter Lord about the sinking of the great "unsinkable" Titanic ship. This film recalls true stories from survivors who were saved aboard lifeboats during that tragic event. Back in 1912 everyone in the world really believed the giant Titanic ship was unsinkable due to it's gigantic fortification. The ship lacked sufficient lifeboat capacity and there was no emergency contingency planning in the event of a crisis. When the ship allegedly struck an iceberg and was badly damaged, it took the crew by complete surprise and they had to do whatever they could, trying not to cause panic, to save as many women and children onboard as they could. Of-course this was plagued by scandal, as the first class were the first to be saved, leaving the third class as well the coal workers the last ones to be alerted, many of whom ended up going down with the ship.

Their lives did not pass in vain though. Today there are international regulations for all ships. There must be full lifeboat capacity to save every single person aboard by law in the event of a catastrophe. After the sinking of the Titanic, there were 24/7 radio vigils setup for the Atlantic and Pacific oceans with international ice patrol units, and national guards who help patrol the sea lanes in case of any emergency making traveling safe for everyone in the ocean.

They ask to re-fund the visitors for the inconvenience while allowing them to temporarily stay until things get back to normal. As they all start to realize this is no ordinary cyber attack and that there is an imminent foreign hostile threat to America, they must band together and find a way to survive while the nation is brought into full blown kinetic war on American soil.

For a movie produced by Barack Obama this was a fantastic film I must admit. I would like to mention a couple issues with the film in regards to an actual EMP event. Some of the scenes in the movie were not very realist so... Spoiler alert: #1 the scenes where the deer surround the girl is super fake, as deer would never do such a thing. Deer are scared animals and are naturally terrified of human beings. #2 If an EMP were to happen both the internet and the power grid would go down, not one or the other. #3 What they did not portray enough of is the civilized breakdown. Society would be much more violent and chaotic then what that family had witnessed, and without food people quickly turn to crime to get it, this is simply human nature IRL. Regardless, this movie is definitely worthy of owning a physical copy on DVD. Very entertaining and the acting was good too.

Just watched The Equalizer (2014) and it was good.

Robocop

RoboCop is a 1987 American science fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven and written by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner. The film stars Peter Weller, Nancy Allen, Daniel O'Herlihy, Ronny Cox, Kurtwood Smith, and Miguel Ferrer. Set in a crime-ridden Detroit in the near future, RoboCop centers on police officer Alex Murphy (Weller) who is murdered by a gang of criminals and revived by the megacorporation Omni Consumer Products as the cyborg law enforcer RoboCop. Unaware of his former life, RoboCop executes a campaign against crime while coming to terms with the lingering fragments of his humanity.

RoboCop has been critically reevaluated since its release, and it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made. The film has been praised for its depiction of a robot affected by the loss of humanity, in contrast to the stoic and emotionless robotic characters of that era. RoboCop has continued to be analyzed for its themes such as the nature of humanity, personal identity, corporate greed and corruption, and is seen as a rebuke of the era's Reaganomics policies.

>it has been hailed as one of the best films of the 1980s and one of the greatest science fiction and action films ever made

I thought that movie was a bit overrated myself, it's not a bad movie but nothing to rave about either.

One of my favorite action/sci-fi films of the 1980s was Stephen King's "Maximum Overdrive" where all things mechanical would come to life and start trying to kill off the human race.

Why can't we have more good threads like this?

Harold and Maude (1971). A troubled teenage boy who remains a bit of an outcast gets his kicks trying to traumatize his mother by stunt-faking his suicide, among other gruesome acts. The mother is desperate to get him mental therapy and have him meet a girl and have a normal relationship and life. Opposed to this, the teenager continues to rebel. When the teen boy meets an elderly rebellious female outlaw without his mother knowing, they bond well together becoming friends and get into all kinds of trouble. The friendship later blossoms into a romance despite her old age. What exactly will come of this odd relationship? What will the mother have to say when she finds out? Will the teenage boy mess up his whole life? This story is definitely one big crazy adventure.

Some of my favorite films were from the 1970s and 1980s anon. Nostalgia is only one reason. People acted more human and were not afraid of imperfection. You can tell the acting was much better during those eras. There was no "political correctness" or "woke" activism back then. This made the scripts and story lines much more attractive for everyone as well more diverse and interesting. Special effects were not computerized so film makers were forced to be more creative and actually hire stuntmen and have pyrotechnics for climatic scenes which made the movies more believable and "real" for the viewers. Overall I find I can relate to older films as they give off a real human vibe while watching them that I do not receive when watching most modern films, if that makes any sense :P

>>50781
yeah modern movies kinda suck in comparison.

>People acted more human and were not afraid of imperfection.

Maybe things will go back to that time one day. The world keeps turning and nothing ever lasts forever. Not even the way people think or act. Who knows what the future holds

Hells Angels on Wheels (1967). Supposedly based on a true story. A group of bikers known as the "Hells Angels" take notice when a seemingly ordinary man, who happens to ride a motorcycle, gets fired after assaulting a customer at a gas station. After a brief compliment, the fired employee decides to hang out where the Hells Angels bikers are temporarily going. After getting into some confrontation with some of the bikers, the leader of the pack decides the newcomer is more like them rather than a foe. Hesitantly from some of the bikers in the gang, they decide to give the new guy a chance to hang out with them and ride along. When the newcomer meets a female companion of the bikers, he begins to fall in love with her only to find out she belongs to the leader and anyone the leader allows her to sleep with, not just him. This new-founding adventure with the Hells Angels comes with risk: lots of brawling, partying, broken hearts, drinking, drugs, crime and of-course some confrontation with local police.
