Barfly
»rank: 18204
0ur opinion:Description:Downtrodden writer Henry (Mickey Rourke) and distressed goddess Wanda (Faye Dunaway) aren't exactly husband and wife: they're wedded to their bar stools. But they like each other's company - and 'Barfly' captures their giddy, din-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids. :The script for this movie was written by outrageous poet-author-alcoholic Charles Bukowski.

Six Characters in Search of an Author (Broadway Theatre Archive)
»rank: 35051
0ur opinion: :Andy Griffith and John Houseman star in this excellent adaptation of Luigi Pirandello’s benchmark play. Six Characters in Search of an Author is about a family of unfinished characters who take over the rehearsal of another work in order to have their own story told.

For Pete's Sake [Region 2]
»rank: 143161
0ur opinion: :Barbra Streisand returned to amped-up comedy form (following her work in Herbert Ross's sharp, unsentimental The 0wl and the Pussycat and Peter Bogdanovich's screwball homage, What's Up, Doc?) in this nutty 1974 feature by Peter Yates (Bullitt, Breaking Away). Playing a Brooklyn housewife so dedicated to her cabdriver husband (Michael Sarrazin) she'll do anything to help him get ahead, Streisand's character--with the impossible name of Henry--secretly borrows three thousand dollars from a loan shark so hubby can play the stock market.
