	Film and Fiction Fusion
		Films like Fight Club, Requiem for a Dream, and julien donkey-boy are up to a kind of narrative and visual experimentation that there hasn't been a lot of in American film since the 1960s.
		Films like Blair Witch Project, Being John Malkovich, Run Lola Run, Magnolia, Memento, and the Dogma 95 films (notably The Celebration and Dancer in the Dark) reject postmodern cynicism in favor of a new sincerity that's not defensive because it doesn't need to be.
		And Kubrick's film came under especially heavy fire for its supposedly naive sentimentality because he was one of the postmodernist boys, whose The Killing had been an early example of the cut-up method in film and whose Clockwork Orange was the gold standard for detached, cynical irony.

	SLC Punk! - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The movie is about a young punk, Stevo, an "anarchist" (in the sense of advocating chaos) in the mid 1980s.
		The film outlines the daily lives of the seemingly only two punks in Salt Lake City, Stevo, who narrates the film, and Heroin Bob, his best friend who ironically believes that any scheduled drug is inherently dangerous.
		The film is shot in documentary style with frequent soliloquies by Stevo.

	Teleport City (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Up until the mainstream consumption of the punk rock aesthetic, there was a little something called the DIY ethic which most punks held as something very important, an integral part of what it was to be a punk rocker.
		All punk films have to have scenes of carnage and destruction from various news reports, preferably filmed directly off the TV screen for that cool fuzzed out distorted look, and of course, we get that here, intercut with scenes of some kids skateboarding over to their friend's house.
		Meanwhile, in one of the film's better scenes, Charles' girlfriend professes her hatred of sprouts, causing Charles to fly into a murderous rage with the hedge clippers he was using to cut the sprouts.

	Punk Attitude - Don Letts 2005
		Punk is thought provokingly traced right back to the American music of the 1950’s and documented through its explosion onto the music scene in the 1970’s (against a background of social unrest and discontented youth).
		The use of 'punk attitude' entails a mixture of tangibles and intangibles that enables you to place artists subjectively in either having it or not having it since the dawn of time.
		DL: Its not supposed to be an A-Z of punk.

	Punk Rock Films (Part Two)
		The interviews with the common punks around shows just how alienated and angry some of those people really were, how much they didn't fit in, and their reactions to the world around them.
		I’m a huge Social Distortion fan, and this film takes you on a true punk rock tour with the band during their formative years.
		Some of the interviews are pretty silly, and if anything, this film is great for the visuals of a bunch of kids touring the country in a beat up school bus.

	Punks on Film
		At best, teen films were keen on portraying the wacky friend of the protagonist as an eccentric type, with weird haircuts and punk/new wave posters on their bedroom walls.
		This film focused on the first Sex Pistols US tour in 1978 and also featured performances by the Dead Boys, X-Ray Spex, Sham 69, Generation X and the Rich Kids as well as a famous interview with Sex Pistols “bassist” and punk legend Sid Vicious and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen, conducted in their bed.
		The film was the story of a young punk who befriends a hard-boiled repo man, and who later becomes a repo man himself.

	Dirty Harry (1971)
		Countless other cop-action films have been made to copy this original law-and-order film that was one of the first to appear on movie screens.
		The duelling combatants (the cop and the criminal) throughout the film - an individualistic, unconventional, neo-fascist, super-hero police detective with a.44 Magnum weapon who throws away the rule book, and his complementary opposite - a pathological, malevolent and sadistic criminal who demands an extortionist ransom of $100,000, both share traits of brutal violence and insanity.
		With bells tolling, the film opens with a zoom-in to a stone memorial "in tribute to the police officers of San Francisco who gave their lives in the line of duty" (presented by a citizen's committee) [located at the Hall of Justice, 850 Bryant Street, between 7th and 8th Streets].

	Jubilee (1978): Jenny Runacre, Jordan, Nell Campbell - PopMatters Film Review
		Filmed over the course of the year 1977, the year of Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee (25 years on the throne), Jubilee is also set in a dystopian England of 1977.
		But the gang of punk girls and boys who are the film's protagonists do hear, and they only way they see out of the situation is to hurry along this falling apart.
		Punk historian Amyl Nitrate claims, "When I'm not writing history, I make it." She spends her time re-framing England's past as the ongoing exploitation of the commoners by the rich and titled.

		This film is about anarchy and the whole 1980's punk rock scene with references to many early punk bands such as Sex Pistols and The Ramones.
		Their characters, like every punk, need to be different and their main focus in life really is anarchy.

	Oi - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		It began in the latter part of 1977, fusing the styles of early punk bands such as the Clash and the Ramones with early British rock like the Rolling Stones and The Who, and was seen as promoting unity between punks and skinheads.
		The band's early material is usually considered classic Oi!, but by the mid-1980s Skrewdriver was leading a small neo-Nazi rock scene, although apart from lead singer Ian Stuart Donaldson, the band had a different line up from that of the late 1970s.
		Their music was recognizably Oi!, but they sought to distance themselves from punk in general, preferring the term "R.A.C." ("Rock Against Communism" — a reaction to Rock Against Racism).

	SLC Punk (Philosophical Films)
		The punk subculture that he participates in appears all the more radical in view of the Mormon Church’s strong conservative presence in the city.
		The film reflects the experiences of writer/director James Merendino who, during his youth, was part of Salt Lake City’s punk subculture.
		In the DVD commentary on the film, Merendino explains that Steve’s narration is from the perspective of a law student who is looking back on his earlier days.

	“New Punk Cinema” edited by Nicholas Rombes
		Addressing a wide range of films and issues affecting contemporary film culture, the essays consider the possibilities for conceptualising a cinematic avant-garde in a climate where its historical markers have been largely absorbed by commercial institutions.
		What distinguishes the films New Punk Cinema suggests are establishing a second punk wave is their reception: for the most part, these films have broken away from the underground culture of the historical avant-gardes and achieved significant popular success.
		In the case of the American examples discussed, the punk vision encompasses the idiosyncratic tendency toward an apparent nihilism which is evident in more and more contemporary works emerging from the US, a trend which has been discussed elsewhere by film theorist Jeffrey Sconce in the context of the new American “smart” film (1).

		The band was formulated from the greatly diverse West Midlands region of England in the late 1970s, with bands such as The Beat and The Selecter in support of the scene.
		Supplementing the lilting Jamaican rhythms of ska with punk rock's uncompromising lyrics and brutal guitar chords resulted in a hybrid that slaked a thirst for a moshing groove, plenty of melody via the horns, and thoughtful, irreverent, or politically charged lyrics.
		Such a vast difference in sounds has created much debate between the ska and punk communities as to the validity of the ska punk genre.

		Postmodernism's distancing effect -- a residual effect of modernism's layered complexity -- is rejected in post-punk film in favor of a kind of democratic return to the audience...
		That's why the cinetrix had to laugh when she stumbled across this syllabus for a punk film class.
		It seems to me that the original student was using "punk" in the most generic way possible and some of the academic world, always worried about appearing out of it, decided that this particular Emperor was a pretty darn snappy dresser.

		New Punk Cinema is the first book to examine a new breed of film that is indebted to the punk spirit of experimentation, do-it-yourself ethos, and an uneasy, often defiant relationship with the mainstream.
		An array of established and emerging scholars trace and map the contours of new punk cinema, from its roots in neorealism and the French New Wave, to its flowering in the work of Lars von Trier and the Dogma 95 movement.
		New Punk Cinema is ideal for classroom use at the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as for film scholars interested in fresh approaches to the emergence of this vital new turn in cinema.

		Featuring a soundtrack of mid-80's punk from The Ramones, Minor Threat, The Dead Kennedys and others, SLC Punk was chosen as the opening-night feature at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.

		THE RAMEN DAYS is a documentary by filmmaker Melissa Elbirt that tells the story of the recent Bay Area hardcore punk scene: its trials, tribulations, achievements and its problems, all told by the bands and people who have worked so hard to give the Bay Area a viable, self-reliant and vibrant punk scene.
		We feel this is one of the most important punk rock films in 20 years, surpassing past punk films like "Decline Of The Western Civilization" and "Another State Of Mind" in both heart and artistic vision.
		Elbirt has created a film of utmost importance to the hardcore/punk community (local and international) and shows us all what can be achieved when our hearts and minds are captivated and dedicated to the DIY ethics of punk rock.

	That Darn Punk - DVD
		Originally approached to just do a soundtrack for the film by director Jeff Richardson, Kung Fu told him that if he would slash the budget (to $20,000) and gear it a little more toward teenage punkers, Kung Fu would finance it and release it on home video THE SAME DAY the soundtrack is released.
		The film is loaded with classic songs from leading punk bands like Pennywise, Rancid and Lagwagon, with exclusive tracks from Nerf Herder, No Motiv, and The Vandals.
		With comparisons being made to films like Repo Man and Roger Corman's Suburbia, Kung Fu is quick to point out that those films cost way over a million dollars, even in their day.

		Many of the ideals of punk are explored, a lot of times in narrative, such as anarchy, rebellion, fighting, drugs, changing the system, sell outs, poseurs, music, and random chaos.
		This was a poser movie pretending to portray the punk scene as a transient phenomenon which could not survive maturity.
		anyways, i find this film to be more of an emotional glance at the punk scene and growing up rather than a film about beating the system to a pulp and living for the moment.
