BUFFALO 66

I ended up watching buffalo 66 a few nights ago, completely by chance. I'd never heard of the film before, but really wanted to watch something. So going through the 'top 100 independent films' list (as you do), i stumbled across buffalo 66. Directed by and staring the amazing Vincent Gallo and a young Christina Ricci, i must say it was one of the best films ive seen in a long time. The effects weren't amazing, the story line wasn't out of this world, but on a whole it was one of those films that i just never wanted to end. Vincent Gallo's face helped a lot too.

Billy Brown has been in jail, but his parents think that he's married and successful. When he can't find anywhere in Buffalo where he can pee, he runs desperately into a dance studio to use the washroom. He winds up kidnapping a dance student, Layla to bring home and show off to his parents. The parents just barely remember their son or care about him, but Layla falls for him.
