80s Arthouse Cinema: Repo Man

1984. Newspaper columnists were playing Spot the Orwellian Overtone. Hawke in Australia but Thatcher in Britain and Reagan in America. A young filmmaker fresh from the U.K. punk scene found a new one in L.A. which only gave him ideas.  The result is Repo Man, a powerful bird-flip to the powers that be, the rise of the religious right and the insult of trickle down economics. Oh, and it's also bloody funny.
