Classic Friday : Clerks (1994) 8/10

Starring : Brian O’Halloran, Jeff Anderson, Marilyn Ghigliotti, Lisa Spoonhauer, Jason Mewes, Kevin Smith
Director : Kevin Smith
Running Time : 90 mins

Dante Hicks (O’Halloran) finds himself forced into working on his day off at the local convenience store where he finds himself faced with every annoying customer you could imagine, as well as the prospect of choosing between his current girlfriend Veronica Ghigliotti) and his ex-girlfriend Caitlin (Spoonhauer).

This is one of my all time favourite independent movies. The jokes are intelligent and come thick and fast, and there’s a lot to identify with. Granted, the acting is a little on the shaky side, and some of the visual jokes are hard to make out because of how bright the black and white film is, but that doesn’t in any way detract from the overall good humour that can be found in this little gem.
