Here's your question and answer of the week from the Punknews Formspring:

Q: Favorite punk movie?

A: Honestly, I don't really feel that there are that many fictional movies centered around punk. There's SLC punk, Repo Man. Desperate Teenage Lovedolls, Straight to Hell. There's probably a few more, but nothing really huge. There are a lot of good punk documentaries.

But, really, as a fictional movie that incorporates punk, I think Repo Man pretty much nails it. Instead of making punk rock the central point of the movie, it uses punk as sort of a backdrop. Plus, the film is really neat because the story is set up like the classic man vs. man structure, only to reveal itself as an entirely different type of movie at the end. Also, the characters in the movie, particularly the repo man, are so classic. They're weirdoes, but they are just barely believable.

Plus, the soundtrack is all killer no filler. Circle Jerks, Black Flag, Plugz, Fear, amazing. On top of that, if I remember correctly, the Black Flag recording of TV party is exclusive to this release, which a lot of people don't know, making it a rare third version of tv party. (I dont feel like digging out the record right now, so I may be wrong) But, I am sure that I have an exclusive acoustic Circle Jerkss recording of when the shit hits the fan and is the ONLY circle jerks recording to feature drummer chuck biscuits, with the irony, of course, being that chuck biscuits doesn't play drums on that particular track.

Yeah, so, despite some of the b-movie feel of it, and some of the poor acting, Repo man rules, warts an all.
