Barfly
A beleaguered writer named Henry and a troubled goddess named Wanda aren’t exactly husband and wife: they’re wedded to their bar stools. Yet they relish each other’s company, and Barfly captures their giddy, gin-soaked attempts to make a go of life on the skids.

Nutshell
Mickey Rourke shines in this offbeat comedy about a dropout drunk poet. A bit too over the top in some scenes but an ultimately satisfying and funny film. Faye Dunaway's performance stands out as well.
