The Last Picture Show (1971)
[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067328/]
The Gist:
A melancholy film about a small town and the transition into adulthood. It all has an indie beat up charm befitting something like clerks only it feels more sophisticated, meaningful (sorry, Clerks). Thematically I could compare it The Graduate, only a bit more sprawling in its focus. What I like here though, is that instead of focusing on an important moment, the film continually delves past that moment into the aftermath. It's impressive when a film can do that and still stay potent.
