#95 The Last Picture Show (1971)

This movie, set in a small western town, follows the main character Sonny as he leaves high school and enters into post-grad life. At first the quaint town seems the perfect place to grow up: good people, great friends. Yet we quickly learn that many of the people are more than just a little dissatisfied with their lives in this small town. Lots of infidelity and pre-marital sex seem to overtake the town. The strange part was that Sonny was sleeping with a 40 year old married woman. The story showed the relationship grow, but we still found it bizarre. We found this film to be very racey for it's time and just a little too weird for us...

Here is a clip showing a little bit of their relationship.



We are looking forward to watching Pulp Fiction though!!!
