Hello everyone, my first post here on auteurs. I’ve recently watched Richard Linklater’s Slacker and fell in love with it. I love how the movie makes you feel like you’re just hanging out with the characters. I was wondering if there are any similar movies to slacker that any of you might know of. I’ve watched Waking Life, Stranger Than Paradise, and Clerks, which all sort of have a similar slackeresque feel to them, so any other recommendation would be appreciated! Thanks.

The Cruise – Directed by Bennett Miller. It’s my favorite documentary about Timothy “Speed” Levitch who is an eccentric New York City double decker Grey Line bus tour guide and unproclaimed guru.
Cool quote from the movie:
“The anti-cruise is an attempt to imprison us. At every level of living it exists. Younger cruisers have asked me, “Why?” “Why is the anti-cruise so avaricious and constant in its attempt to stop the cruise? And I have no answer. There is no answer. I mean, it’s gravitational, it’s a relationship that’s made up of reciprocals and pulling gravities. It simply exists. Where there is cruise there is an escort of anti-cruise. But even in a bastion of anti-cruise fodder… there is cruise. Somewhere in there is a sparkle of cruising energy. Deeply sublimated, within the bellowing belly of the beast.”
Mullholland Dr is one of my favorite movies! But I don’t get all of the praise behind Country for Old Men, someone please explain. I didn’t think it was amazing or anything… The gas station scene was quite memorable however.
