I love this movie. I even had it on laser disc, lol (actually, laser discs were beautifully crisp and clear. I miss them) I've also seen it like 6 times, and I just now noticed Bukowski himself sitting at the bar. It only took me 36 years... 😅
If you read "Hollywood" by Bukowski (which was about the making of this movie) he addresses that directly. And you're right he wasn't pleased about a supposed drunk leaving something at the bar
@@oldirtydasher because Cannon Films did not have the money to pay seasoned actors, actors that could have given more life in their performances. Maybe not the worse, but definitively not the best.
@@joestraw12 complete overacting. Just a hilarious insult to his body of work. I’m sure Buk laughed all the way to the bank drank a few bottles of wine and woke up with a smile
@@jamesbueker11 Not much money. I cut his check and I don't remember it being that much. 🙂 I understand your comment. He was a great writer. When I saw him walking around our halls, I thought he was a homeless person.
The heyday of this kind of erratic behavior ended in Late 70s people like this eventually had reality catch up to them they crashed and burned bars like this get enough 911 calls get their liquor license pulled places like this were usually barely Financially able to stay open anyways
Mickey Rourke looked and acted the part, but Faye Dunaway was a miscast. She looked and acted Hollywood glamorous. The rough around the edges quality she was supposed to have was not believable, in my opinion.
They way mickey walks is how you walk when your sides have been kicked in you have to slide out of bed it hurts very much after been beaten up by cops a few times I know what feels like but sense your so drunk your almost impervious to pain your still hurting but more numb
What totally sucks is when the perverts raid your room because they stole your key then told you after how much a dirt bag you are that your supposed to feel sorry about 4 wars and 3 divorces. They then piss on your rug. and call you a bum.
He was a famous writer he did not waste anything. Who's potential did he waste? Not his certainly. Drunken poet was his calling in life he was successful.
the real Charles Bukowski, the writer of this all, in a cameo at the bar...
Apparently, he didn't like this adaptation of his work.
"No money, no job, no ride." "Hey, back to normal.". Talk like that takes character.
One of my favorite lines of all time: "Do you hate them?.... No..,but I seem to feel better when they're not around"
Me too! One of my all time favorite lines...Yes!!
Yeah, it's got me this far from 17 years old......
Just read Bukowski
@@Kraeuterkeule That's what I thought, just watched Barfly for the 100th time
yup, more so now these days than ever.
One of my all-time favorite movies since the first time I've seen it way back in the day.
I love this movie. I even had it on laser disc, lol
(actually, laser discs were beautifully crisp and clear. I miss them)
I've also seen it like 6 times, and I just now noticed Bukowski himself sitting at the bar. It only took me 36 years... 😅
My favorite movie ever
Thank you for helping me notice on my second watch 😂
Yeah I seen him it's like the fly with George chuvalo
Great upload. May the Gods bless you.
This and "Leaving Las Vegas", will make you stop drinking.
Or start
@@Spaghetto7 Exactly! Well said Spaghetto, youre a veritable Rabbi
Going on 60. I lived in this world in the 80s
Me too brother, I miss the ‘80’s so damn much. Best decade of my life…
Me too, just turned 59. I was a big drunk in the 80s
no job no rent, back to normal haha love that
Haha yeah, and he got Faye Dunaway, gotta love it
Yup🚬🥃
"How come nobody sits next to her?""Because she's crazy.""Crazy.. oh."Me, every time I hear someone talk about a woman I'm attracted to.
Love the old mickey true acting genius 👏 👌
If only real life was like this. You're broke but a pretty lady wants you to go to her place.
It is like this - every once and a while
Don't kid yourself.
@@jimf. I am not kidding myself - I am sorry you can't say the same which is why you could only question my answer.
It is
It is friend. Keep a positive attitude..youll get urs one day.
Gotta be the coolest dumpster dude, and I love his laugh! 👍👏
$23.80 for two fiths, two packs of cigs, and two cigars. The good old days.
I remember as a kid puttin 35 cents in a cigarette machine for a pack a Marlboro Reds..Im Old as fk
@kevinjohnson-lf3kj O yeah, cigarette vending machines at the diners. Loved that smell. Cigarettes and breakfast food.
Faye Dunaway's best role,
3:53 Bukowski
I really doubt hed leave a half drunk beer at a bar.
Always bugged me.
If you read "Hollywood" by Bukowski (which was about the making of this movie) he addresses that directly. And you're right he wasn't pleased about a supposed drunk leaving something at the bar
Hell no, that's alcohol abuse! Lol
for faye dunaway id leave a full one
Barfly, Great Movie, Great Acting. One of my favourite movies
My wife said to me long time ago don’t let me watch this ever again
🤣🤣
Dude you took my line :)
I was in my twenties when this came out.
This movie they Best comedy the all the times greetings from Houston Texas 🤠🚀🚀🚀🤠
‘People? Yeah, I like people. I just feel better when they’re not around!’ - The Misanthropes Creed
The best line ever!!!
When Marlon Brando and James Dean died they begged God to please let them come back as Mickey Rourke!!!😍😂
That's a great thing to say about Rourke!! Nice compliment,really
God bless you!
They must've been disappointed.
Damn looks like Henry came up. He got himself a woman and some booze for the night...
Charles Bukowski can be seen at the bar @ 3:28. I worked on this film. The supporting cast may be the worst ever for this Cannon film.
Exactly. Hate this stultified insult to the true Buk. The best line is Dunaway saying in response to “what do you do”? “I drink”.
Why are they the worst?
@@oldirtydasher because Cannon Films did not have the money to pay seasoned actors, actors that could have given more life in their performances. Maybe not the worse, but definitively not the best.
@@joestraw12 complete overacting. Just a hilarious insult to his body of work. I’m sure Buk laughed all the way to the bank drank a few bottles of wine and woke up with a smile

Faye is perfect
Been quoting this movie since I was 17!,,,, imm52
Like what do you do?
Definitely knows how to Write.
Who misse the bukowski cameo?
Adds the Cigars🤣Wilbur knows.
2:50 I always wanted to go into a bar and say, "Aye, gimme a beer." And they know just what I want.🤣🍺
I love corn....
This is why I fell madly in LOVE with my present wife hahhahhaha
Imagine picking up Faye Dunaway in a dive over a couple of drinks and less conversation. 😎
I wish somebody gave me fair warning that the last woman I sat next to was crazy.🍺🍸🍾🍷🍻😣😝
Just assume everyone is.
@@AnnaLVajda everyone is
At least she was somewhat Hot...for da night.
There are way too many classic quotes to try to remember!
How did I miss this movie?
The dialogue in this movie is so damn weird. It seems like Mickey Rourke is reading his characters' inner monologs out loud.
Left that beer half full tho 😬. You got to shotgun that bro ! LOL
Obviously this movie didn't have the funds to retake the scene.
It took 7 years to get fully funded before it got greeenlit.
Even Bukowski said something to the director about this!
@@BrendanAndThings I just love how this bar is dark and quiet unlike the other
Exactly! Lol
@@michellelambert8729 I been watching these scenes over and over again for the last two weeks LOL! Makes want to go to a dark dive bar lol
... ah the next bit good man yerself Steve Liked subbed
I got millions more respect for Mickey R now
i talked on the phone with faye n like 1997..i was a pbx operator n a hotel
The heyday of this kind of erratic behavior ended in Late 70s people like this eventually had reality catch up to them they crashed and burned bars like this get enough 911 calls get their liquor license pulled places like this were usually barely Financially able to stay open anyways
No it didn’t end in the 70s. You just got away from it. I know where these places are today
@@robertbentzel6881 And I guess he never lived in Norfolk ,Virginia .
@@bak-mariterry5180 I hate Norfolk, moved up to DC lol
And then there was Cocaine.
Faye D. at the bar, drinking with the Wooba Gooba with the green teeth.
NyQuil anyone?
Great movie
Mickey Rourkes greatest role.
He left a half of beer there 🤣 and said dont have nothing lol
I lived that life too.
For a couple of drunk, they’re very sure footed
She's crazy.
An alcoholic would know that this is defeat. He wasn’t served in the end.
Mickey Rourke looked and acted the part, but Faye Dunaway was a miscast. She looked and acted Hollywood glamorous. The rough around the edges quality she was supposed to have was not believable, in my opinion.
For me.Rourke over played Bukowskis distinctive vocal intonation ,actually detracts form the content.
I've seen some beautiful women at 'dive bars'. And I'm not talking about 'closing time' beauty.
They were both brilliant.
thank you for this
Wanda, you had me at crazy.
when los angeles had real bars
Who would think Faye and Mickey would be a team..the power of acting as I see it...
it ends at 6..where is the rest?
GAAAHD DAAAAAAAMIT!
Other bar was red
This one is blue
Holy shit, it's Mac's mom from Always Sunny!
You know, I don't miss all the terrible decisions I made when I was drinking LOL,
No one plays hammered like Faye Dunaway.
Imagine getting arrested for stealing corn 😂
who carries a comb?
Everyone from the 80's.
lucky he found that one leaky hydrant/wash up station
Yup. Great . Thanks.
This movie makes me feel queasy.
Organ Jimmy Smith
That voice
ihe is the best
Cops used to shoot you for stealing corn?Wow,things have gotten much better!
They way mickey walks is how you walk when your sides have been kicked in you have to slide out of bed it hurts very much after been beaten up by cops a few times I know what feels like but sense your so drunk your almost impervious to pain your still hurting but more numb

🤘
Crazy ohhh
❤
a love story
Don't try.
🖤
The background is too dark! Can't see a damn thing!
I like it’s. Sets the mood of the scene
Have someone at your nursing home adjust the brightness on your TV
@@joejunior1974hahaha 🤣😂
Wasted potential
He was a famous writer he did not waste anything. Who's potential did he waste? Not his certainly. Drunken poet was his calling in life he was successful.
@@AnnaLVajda i was referring to Mickey Rourke
An insult to Bukowski.
Hes taking it pretty well condidering hes right there at the bar 3:55... & obviously not offended by any of it!?!
Perfect
