Subway Riders (1981)

 

A psychotic saxophone player (played both by Amos Poe and John Lurie) lures victims to deserted spots with his music and then guns them down.

From memory: This experimental neo-noir thriller is more interested in style and atmosphere than in its narrative, but it does fascinatingly capture the mood and feeling of urban life.

 

 

Fat City (1972)

Two men, working as professional boxers, come to blows when their careers each begin to take opposite momentum.

Great performances, especially Susan Tyrell, and great faded color photography. The downbeat story was slightly lost on me, though, since I've seen worse fates depicted on screen before.

Angel (1984)

A fifteen-year-old honor student attends her private prep school in the L.A. area by day, but at night she transforms to Angel: the mini-skirted, high-heeled street prostitute working Hollywood Boulevard.
