Repo Man is a film written and directed by Alex Cox that came out in 1984. It’s one of my favorite films of all time and I think it’s the best work of both Emilio Estevez and Harry Dean Stanton, who are the two main characters of the film. Another thing that makes it extremely cool is that the Executive Producer of the film is none other than my favorite Monkee, Michael Nesmith.
Below are six links to online articles about Repo Man and a link to the original trailer, plus my favorite scene from the movie!.
And below that are the MBIP Coming Attractions as to what’s happening here on the blog next week!
