Buffalo '66 (Vincent Gallo, 1998, USA)
Full details
Average viewer rating: 7.2/10
My rating: 7/10
Follows the story of some lowlife or other (Vincent Gallo, who not only wrote, directed and starred in the film but also composed and performed much of the soundtrack) who is released from jail, and sets out to convince his parents he's been away on business by kidnapping a passer-by (Christina Ricci) and making her pretend to be his wife. I found it incredibly depressing to start with- the section that takes place at his neglectful parents' house being particularly awkward- but somehow towards the end it managed to mould itself into a very twisted feel-good ending.
Viewed on DVD borrowed from a chum.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh! I hated this... (how useless a comment is that?!).

It wasn't THAAAT bad, but Vincent Gallo's ego completely ruined it. He managed to cram in plenty of references to the size of his penis and his good looks... it was kind of embarrassing to watch.
Why did you hate it?
