 Blue Collar . Memphis Flyer . 11-17-97
Where Blue Collar differs from other labor films, from Salt of the Earth to Norma Rae to Matewan, is that it is not a pro-union film.
Blue Collar is not liberal in tone or perspective, it is radical.
Blue Collar's only allegiance is to the worker, but it refuses to romanticize even him.

 Blue-collar beers are booming
Stewart said Pabst was careful about how it placed itself as a sponsor at the event, the New York Underground Film Festival.
One of the more modest but curious trends in the billion-dollar U.S. beer market has been the sharp rise in sales of working-class lagers like Pabst Blue Ribbon, Schlitz, Hamm's, Piels and Old Style.
Then I picked up a copy of a brochure: Pabst had cosponsored the film festival.

 e.Peak (4/4/2005) arts: local fimmaker: Life and death in film
Drawing attention to blue-collar crime and uncovered areas of everyday life (portrayed dramatically), this film epitomises the potential of the Vancouver film industry and hints at future success, against a backdrop of superficial Hollywood movies.
Blue-collar crime is ever present in the background as the father, Harold (Ryan Robbins), tries to provide for his family.
Their lives are humorous, tragic, and chaotic at times, but ultimately, the turbulence of violence and alcohol clash to form a heart-wrenching conclusion that succinctly defines the potential tragic consequences of crime, that left me in tears.

 Amazon.co.uk: Cat People [1982]: DVD
Cat People is OK, Schrader has never made a truly terrible film (though Exorcist IV might be it...)- but this is far from such great films as Affliction, Blue Collar, Light Sleeper & Mishima.
Perhaps Cat People can be seen as the beginnings of Schrader's wilderness years- it is nowhere close to the screenplays of Taxi Driver/Raging Bull or to Schrader's initial films: Blue Collar, Hardcore, American Gigolo.
Cat People is a twist in the sexual-horror film, it's certainly far from terrible- if you want an erotic exercise in panache, it probably does the business.

 Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Traffic
Traffic aspires to show a total vision of drugs, and yet the only actual users shown are The Kids: whereas we all know the users are The Adults, too: blue-collar and white-collar, lawyers, truck-drivers, cops and, erm, movie folk.
Soderbergh appears to be inviting us to consider his eventual reunion with her, and support for her therapy programme, as the morally redemptive centre of this big complex film.
But despite an apparent equivalence of moral squalor between Mexico and the United States, Traffic makes it subtly clear that the official corruption is all happening south of the Rio Grande; the worst that the Americans are guilty of is a surfeit of innocence.

 Armageddon (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Armageddon is a 1998 disaster/science fiction film about a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers who are sent by NASA to deflect an asteroid on a collision course with Earth.
Additionally, the film was lambasted for being too noisy, which contradicts the fact that there is no noise in outer space, although this is a factor often disregarded in Hollywood.
A DVD of Armageddon was re-issued by The Criterion Collection, which releases what it considers to be "important classic and contemporary films"; the film also received the Saturn Awards for Best Direction and Best Science Fiction Film (where it tied with Dark City).

 Guardian Unlimited Film Reviews Erin Brockovich
Her cleavage, on show as never before, is undoubtedly there to connote a more blue-collar class of person - that title is as blunt as you like: this is Ordinary People we're talking about.
It is difficult to know quite how to take Julia Roberts's cleavage in Erin Brockovich, in a film based on this week's second true story, and starring Julia as the eponymous working woman who almost single-handedly leads a successful lawsuit against a corporation that is poisoning the water and giving local people cancer.
But Julia Roberts's screen presence is otherwise very familiar: her face always somewhere on a spectrum between the melon-eating grin and the deathly pale, triangular mask, where the mouth shrinks to the size of a penny and the two veins stand out on the forehead.

 Fight Club film review
In the Fight Club, alienated modern males, both blue and white collar, get in touch with their inner manhood by brutal bare-knuckle boxing brawls that leave them scarred but much happier than they were before.
Fight Club tells the story of a representative thirty year-old generation X yuppie-drone Jack (Edward Norton), who suffers from insomnia, depression and terminal consumerism which he describes as an "Ikea nesting instinct." (The film contains an hilarious attack on advertising for the Ikea home-furnishings chain).
Humorously narrated by Jack, Fight Club boosts stark and viscerally kinetic cinematography coupled with schizophrenic, irreverent and subversive originality, producing one of the best films of the year.

 The DVD Journal: Wall Street
Perhaps Stone's most conventional film, Wall Street tells the shopworn story of Bud Foxx (Charlie Sheen), a wide-eyed boy from a blue collar family who moves to the big city dreaming of untold fortunes.
Wall Street also pre-dates Stone's maverick approach to montage, so it lacks the bracing style of his later films but still bristles with energy thanks to Ralph Richardson's hand-held camera work.
Wall Street is no exception, released at the tail-end of the Reagan-era and time-capsulizing the enduring images of the 1980s — the amoral businessman, the vacuous blonde with too much hair, and the hollow joy of conspicuous consumption.

Jean's second film is populated by characters who are just as nihilistic and horny as the quartet in Full Blast.
