Masterpiece of a film

[@evandalistgaming8914]

Masterpiece is exactly right.

[@JohnnyFriendly]

I lived in Times Square briefly in 1989 and NYC back then was very, very wild. I don’t think any movie has ever captured the insanity of the place accurately - you really had to experience it. On the plus side, it was a thrilling, siren-drenched city with a thousand images hitting your eyes every second. On the downside, it was filthy, dangerous and stank of urine and rotten vegetables. For those today seeking the vibe depicted in films like Smithereens or Panic In Needle Park I recommend a trip to Berlin or Marseilles - they're like old NYC minus the crime and violence

[@MC32595]

check out mean streets and taxi driver by scorsese, they capture the grittiness of 70s new york pretty well too

[@user-ux3vw6mb4k]

One of the greatest films I've ever seen.

[@OutFMWBAI]

Is there more of this interview with the two Susans? I love Smithereens and would like to watch them discuss it more...

[@evandalistgaming8914]

im saying the same

[@MichelleBab-gy2yx]

I saw this film for the first time in 1984 on cable t.v. This movie always stayed in my thoughts for some reason. I found it here on YT last week and was so happy to watch it again!! I just love that whole '70's '80"s New York City art/music vibe. So so glad the film is available here! 🖤💜🖤💜

[@adams2841]

Love this movie. The performances, atmosphere, and music are all great.

[@erinisconfused]

Seeing NYC in this film is such a great little piece of history. I love when the landlord is throwing Wrens clothes out the window and how grunge the street looks. Some great locations in this for sure

[@sibylsaint]

It's easy to sit here in my comfy house in 2019 and say "I wish I was in New York back then." But God damn it, I wish I was in New York back then!!!!!! >:)

[@zaxxx1975]

I love you Susan's

[@oliverkalamata2753]

This was such a damn good movie! Richard Hell was actually a fairly good actor in it as well...better than Blank Generation...yikes!

[@zaxxx1975]

Wonderful charachter sketch.

[@harvemann5199]

Excellent movie! Great acting.

[@deathlarsen7502]

back when Times Square had character. Now everything is the same everywhere. Character is DEAD everywhere.

[@dirty06maggot]

I wanna time machine

[@Xxxxxrrr6464]

Cool!

[@nolagospeltracts8264]

This was a pretty good film but I went to see because I thought it would feature music and performances by Richard Hell.

[@MelonySmith-rs5vi]

That Wren girl did an awful lot of walking around in this movie. Wow.

[@lmnopotay7433]

New York is still raunchy, it sucks over there.

[@oliverkalamata2753]

Exactly how do you use the term "raunchy"???

[@cellulosefdr]

NYC died in the 90's RIP

[@alfredjcarpenter]

I saw this movie opening week at the Wavely on 4th street with Kim Sacaro girlfriend of Vincent da nafrio actor full metal jacket

[@valeverga-g6j]

0:58 sick

[@rennavaight9692]

Let's be honest. This film did not reflect positively on the art sleaze New York Punk Culture, that had faded out at this point. New York had too many oldheads, that only latched on to the term for a comeup, anyway
