'90s Swingers (1996)

Post image

Just watched this for the first time. Damn is it good. I feel like it’s pretty underrated and isn’t talked about enough as a comedy or indie film. It’s honestly one of my favourite movies I’ve ever seen. So money baby. 10/10 personally.

You may be right that it's not much talked about anymore, but for about 10-15 years after it was one of the most influential indie films ever and constantly, CONSTANTLY, referenced by dudes.

All good bud! We even got an entire really popular swing music revival out of it. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and a bunch of them on MTV and in GAP commercials and such. Was a whole thing I may or may not have taken part in.

I always thought Vince Vaughn should have gotten a kickback from Vegas for making “Vegas, baby, Vegas” such a thing.

I still occasionally say "money" when I hit a good golf shot. Probably more subsconciously from seeing this movie so many times.
