Buffalo 66

 

It is an indie classic I always wanted to watch directed and starring Vince Gallo. Of course, it is Christina Ricci who made the movie plausible. Yes, the script wasn't nearly as cool as I had hoped. But Vince did write it. Perhaps it was a learning experience. Yet he had such an exceptional cast for this film of a guy just getting out of prison and trying to keep it a secret from his parents. 

And I did enjoy this New York State of mind of this film (upstate New York that is) Oh, I wouldn't advise any girl to fall in love with someone who kidnaps her. But this was made in 1998. If you get a chance watch this indie classic. 

I stopped painting in 1990 at the peak of my success just to deny people my beautiful paintings. And I did it out of spite.-Vincent Gallo

My all-time favorite movie of Ricci'a, PUMPKIN with Hank Harris. He made her character Human.

on the funny side...I always thought she made Buffalo 66 film with Joaquin Phoenix. I had seen the stills and had an entirely different movie in my head that was nothing as simple as this film. Wow, if only they'd made the movie I had in mind about a guy who finds a girl while out on his motorcycle journey and how she changed his life (I don't think that's Brown Bunny). Too bad that movie never got made. -Ellie
