Clerks (DVD)

When I recommend this film to people they always ask 'so what happens?' The answer has to be 'not a lot but it's hilarious!' It took me a while to get around to watching it for that very reason. I'd heard of it and that it was 'cult' 'classic' etc but never got around to seeing it. I watched it for the first time about a month ago, I've seen it 4 times now, it's that good!
Based around a day in the life of a convenience store clerk who gets called in on his day off 'I'm not supposed to be here today' and his buddy who works next door. Girlfriends, ex girlfriends, customers, neighbourhood freaks, ex school mates all turn up at some point and add to the general melee.

My favourite bit, well I'll let you find out when you see the film, it involves the ex, and watch out for the 'Star Wars' conversation, brilliant! Jay and Silent Bob pop up and entertain from time to time with wacky dancing, hypocrasy and general nuttiness.

Filmed in black and white and completely dialogue and character driven this movie manages to prove once again that you don't need 10 figure cash sums to make great movies.
