Not to be confused with the trashy teen comedy 'Slackers', Richard Linklater's 1991 film 'Slacker' is a inventive work of post-modern genius. Plotless, with no main characters or even an obvious message, the film moves us on a tour through the lives of various eccentrics in Austin Texas. We meet a chick whose trying to sell Madonnas pubic hairs, an Old Anarchist, and a couple conspiracy theorist. Don't expect high-brow hollywood entertainment - this is one of the most boring (yet fascinating) movies ever made. And you can watch it for free on youtube!

Richard Linklater is also responsible for Dazed and Confused, Waking Life, and A Scanner Darkly, which are all amazing and should be required viewing.
