I didn't care too much for 8mm.mp
Follow Ups:
That's the Scorcese film.It seems similar to "After Hours" and "King of Comedy". I wouldn't like it...not for Cage's performance, but for Scorsese's vision of New York here. To depressing to make an effort to see it, for me. But I will give it a try...if you insist.
Gritty and real.but very well done. It moved me.
I find I appreciate depressing movies sometimes because they remind
me to appreciate my life and not take a valuable second of it for granted.Also, I find it helps me be more symathetic with others, because I am opening my eyes to something that might be unpleasant and that I haven't experienced, but others have.
And Scorcese's view of city life is dark and bleak, but many people do view city life like that, and they manage to find pockets of happiness for themselves, so a common underlying theme in these movies is perseverence, and perhaps a bit of stoicism.
This movie can be compared somewhat to Midnight Cowboy, and notice how happy the two were in their private bungalow. That's the beauty in it that I see.

No-one does New York better than Scorcese as per NY NY and Taxi Driver, Midnight Cowboy is brilliant too. I did miss "Bringing out the Dead" so I'll check it out, I've seen all the other Cage vehicles you mention and agree they're excellent, thanks for the heads up on "Dead"
