Buffalo '66 - (Vincent Gallo;1998;USA)
After a 5-year prison sentence for a crime he didn't commit, a man kidnaps a girl to pose as his wife to impress his parents.
One of the best films to come out in recent times. Gallo brilliantly shows a grotesque autobiographical character, only making him fascinating him with the layers of his troubled upbringing. Gallo's talent shines from his acting, direction, and musical compositions. It also manages to feel completely real. There's a scene where he runs to a bathroom to straighten his hair only to break down in tears with self-pity. While similar scenes have been used to rape emotion in other films, this scene is an example of one that rings true and some might even relate too. The focus of the film is mainly on Billy Brown's frustrated self-pity, which he covers with despicable manners that define him early on.

One of my all-time favorites.
