Choose Me has a weird, artificial vibe to it but is interesting viewing.
Haven't seen all of these but would assume Lost in America and Something Wild are as good as any here, both funny/cringey.
Out Of The Blue is set in Canada, isn't it?
Not only that but it predates Reagan's regime!

I should see more of these in order to judge fairly but Running on Empty is one of my all-time faves so that.

Wish River Phoenix had done more 'kids at the mercy of parents who make fucked-up decisions' movies (see also: Mosquito Coast).

Out of the Blue, Lost in America, Something Wild = essential viewing if you've never seen them.
The trailers for all three has 60/70s pop in the soundtrack.
Thanks Ward for that really useful breakdown - like Daniel I had no idea where to start with this. Might catch a couple even though I want to see a couple of films that I haven't from the '68 season. xps

Streetwise is a great doc about street kids in Seattle, not sure if it's ever been out on DVD.

Title track. I've never seen Out of the Blue or Suburbia; may have seen Mike's Murder, not sure (I get it confused with Everybody Wins).

Kind of surprised, given the Neil Young connection, that you haven't seen OoTB. Anchor Bay had a nice DVD out awhile back.

Mike's Murder was beloved by Kael and no one else. I've never come across it anywhere, but I'm intrigued.

It's not bad at all. I bought a cheap DVD a couple years ago. I thought enough of it to review it at the time.
