Pros: The director would go on to make the hilarious Black Sheep. Cons: Simplistic and uninsightful.
Written and directed by Penelope Spheeris, the ultra-low-budget Suburbia pretends to explore its central subject -- that being the ‘80s punk-rock crowd of displaced teenagers with terrible home lives holed up in a dilapidated abandoned house ...
Pros: An effective film about a group of punks, and the prejudice against them. Cons: The message gets confused by the inclusion of the punks' prejudice against others.

Pros: realistic, eye-opening, cool soundtrack Cons: bad acting, poor cinematography, hard to find
This is one of the classics that punks love to sit around and watch in order for them to feel better about themselves. This film is takes a gritty look at the lifestyles of punk kids living on the streets. A well researched film that does not try to...
