Ironic that Joe defends John Wayne saying he's not a f*****, because Wayne called both of these characters that. Honestly, John Wayne was an awful man and time and time again he showed how out of touch he was in the New Hollywood era.

i drank off an on for 29 years. now i got 3.5 yrs kleeen

The word Fag was a prominent word of the times. This is a descent depiction of nyc of the 1970s . What a crazy world it was .

Barfly is truly an underrated film. A truly great film. I usually look down on Hollywood dramas because a lot of them feel contrived or like they play it safe. This film feels so natural, like I was getting an insight into the lives of both Rourke's and Dunaway's characters.

love this movie and always watch it when i get the chance. one of best movies ever made.

They don'g make movies like this anymore.

Interior designer? His place looked like shit

Lennon must’ve loved this one

Best. Movie. Ever.

I forgot Faye was in this

Back handed compliments

Every scene in Ratso apt is pure gold

Hottest couple in the history of cinema.

I wonder if Buk ever hit on Faye Dunaway. I bet he did.

just a great movie i have it along with "The Grifters" and "Drugstore Cowboy".

song in the background is 'The sermon' by Jimmy Smith. 😎

"JOHN WAYNE!! YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME HE'S A F*G!!!!" Ratso didn't answer Joe Buck's question but his silence and stare said it all. Sometimes you have to read between the lines to fully understand things 😉 John Wayne WAS a f**got... Contrary to a lot of his fan's beliefs 😊

This is the movie make you feel more American

love him or hate him 😎 when movies were just movies not so ... great scene 🪙

Dig a shecat rumble

Just saw this movie again last night on cable and they completely cut this scene. 😒

2023.....I must have re-enacted the street scene,....."Hey, I'm walkin'' here!",....that Ratso yells at the car trying to run him over on the busy NYC, street,....like a 100 times in my own life, on streets all over the USA,.....( when some asshat, is trying to drive through the crosswalk)...and barely stops to let me walk. I invoke (my best impersonation) of a NYC accent,....and bang my fist on their car's hood. (check it out, its an iconic scene, from earlier in the movie).

I love old school dive bars that are dimly lit and have no windows.

He didn’t push it away. He set it off to the side and forgot about it because it was so infatuated with Wanda when she said come with me he knew he would get her and more alcohol

Way better times. No cell phones. Lower crime rates. More conversations between humans.

As much as I love living in the boondocks..a part of me has always wanted a seedy little apartment in the big city where I could hide out and get high with hookers and stuff like that

How I met your mother 😳

And this how I met your mother 😳

no one commenting on Bukowski sitting at the bar??

That's Buch In middle seat

Painful masterpiece

Ok, but Buk would never leave an unfinished beer on the bar 😁

this movie was so good! i could not tell you how many times i watched it but it was a lot!

Richard...mmm mmm Just hot 🔥🥵

What do you do? I drink

She wastes half a cigarette and he wastes half a beer. Sure it is unrealistic but I'm guessing they didn't have the budget to retake the scene. It took them 7 years just to get green lit and funded and with these big names I'm guessing money was an issue.

The lighting in this movie was perfect for these bar scenes.

HOFFMAN'$ NOSE BEST WHEN 👌 COMES TO FRESHLY LAUNDERED UNDER/GARMENTS, AIN'T IT THE AWFUL TRUTH, LADIES OF THE GALLOPING "GOURMET" DISTRICT!?!?!?😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😇😇😇😇😇🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐🍇🍇🍇🍇🫐🫐🫐🫐🫐🥥🥥🥥🥥🥥

Just saw this movie and was blown away by the acting. Superb. They both nailed it.

I always thought mickey Rourke was so handsome and sexy

Ratso sure had a unique hair gel.

Correction: I guess he said he felt better when people were not around.

He stayed with her for ten years, the woman this is based off of, until she finally died, which is what she wanted, she just used alcohol as a slow form of suicide.

Faye is a remarkable actress.

Mickey and Faye... Two Genius'. Faye was going to college in 64 when I was in 3rd grade just a couple of blocks down the street. I must of seen her and fell in love when she smiled at me one beautiful day on the campus of the University of Florida. Love ya too Mickey.

is that Bukowski? 1:06

2:33 - "Hey...no money, no job, no rent... "Hey, back to normal." Just fantastic.

Few other movies ever made truly captured the soul & essence of a true, die hard, impenetrably shameless, incorrigible alcoholic, yet one blessed with such amazing philosophical insight & poetic sensibilities (thus that additional, elevated character dimension!). Mickey Rourke nailed Bukowski's alter ego seamlessly & magnificently (&, seemingly, effortlessly!). Just a fantastic job, playing that alcoholic slob extraordinaire with a penchant for fisticuffs & perspicacious musings to absolute perfection, & in a fashion that was truly Oscar worthy. Back in the 80s Mickey Rourke was The King (& very worthy of that noble & immortal designation..."The Pope of Greenwich Village!")! My next beer will be in honor of that woefully underappreciated screen legend, that uber badass, that icon of super cool masculinity, of exceptional acting depth & talent, that booze guzzling connoisseur of copious consumption, that one man bare knuckle brawling juggernaut, of praise deserving, near superhuman resilience, that beast of oozing charisma & unimpeachable authenticity, Irish Heart, all-American Spirit, a maniac to greatly admire! Mickey you crazy, mythological motherfucker you😜😜😊

my favorite movie!

Texas-Newyork combo in a nutshell 😆
