Scorcese's After Hours (1985)

After Hours – Wirtten by: Joseph Minion

A keep-to-himself yuppie wanders out for coffee one night and meets a strange but beautiful woman. Making a date to meet later at her apartment, the yuppie slips down the rabbit hole into a surreal fever-dream of twists, turns, and double-backs that culminate in him being hunted down by a neighborhood lynching mob…when all the while he just wants to go home. A black, black comedy with exceptional performances from all, Scorsese does a masterful job of exposing another part of New York’s underbelly.

(Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, John Heard...and a small cameo from Cheech & Chong)
