Last Night at the Alamo

Chronicling the last night of a seedy Houston bar, Eagle Pennell's hilarious classic American indie from IFC Films, featuring a script by Kim Henkel (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre), is marked by the simplicity and ease with which ordinary blue-collar existence is brought to life on screen. Anticipating the inevitable wrecking ball, the Alamo's regulars gather to celebrate the bar's last night. Throughout the evening, we meet Cowboy (Sunny Davis) an admired patron with a reputation to live up to; Claude (Lou Perry), a man whose domestic troubles have him blaring imaginative curses towards his wife throughout the film, and Ichabod (Steve Matilla) and Mary (Tina Hubbard) a quarrelsome couple who clearly are a perfect match.
