Actors: Steve Gutenberg, Mickey Rourke
Director: Barry Levinson
I've watched far, far too many talky films lately - a mistake I realized ten minutes into this one. I'll call Diner a should-have-come-of-age story - it's about early 20s men making the decisions that will shape their lives, both stuck in childhood and reaching out towards adulthood. And also endlessly talking. The style has been aped by all sorts of films since and owes debts to formless films that come before, but the ensemble is solid and the story manages to stay interesting.
