Clerks
In Clerks, Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) is a convenience store employee, suddenly thrust into an unplanned double shift. His friend, Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson), works next door at a video rental shop. Both are disillusioned with their mundane lives in suburbia. Over the course of one day, they encounter a parade of colorful characters, discuss pop culture and life's absurdities, and confront personal dilemmas. This black-and-white indie film, directed by Kevin Smith, won the Filmmaker's Trophy at Sundance in 1994. It is a raw exploration of 90s slacker culture with comedic undertones and sharp dialogue.
