Losing your phone/wallet in today’s world of no landlines or public phones is much worse.

Saw it in the theater a very long time ago. I thought it was very clever filmmaking. Good fun.

Saw it in Tigertown when it first came out. The Departed and After Hours are the only Scorcese movies I like.

As a kid, you just asked someone for a dime...everyone gave it.

Payphone calls generally cost $0.05 into the 1950s and $0.10 until the mid-1980s.
Now if you lose your cellphone, you have to find a frickin' hotel or something and ask them to call a Cab for you.

It came up on Tubi when I searched it last night. Turns out that St. Patrick's Day evening was not the best time for me to follow a movie like this, or remember all of it the next day.

I talked a girl into buying me an uber home once after i dropped and smashed my phone
In hindsight, pretty risky move to risk a stranger on her uber account.

What you’d get if Insomniac with Dave Attell fricked an episode of Black Mirror.
Never heard of this movie in my life but just saw it on netflix
Movie is worth a watch. Captures the grit of NYC. And the spirit of when places were still open all night.
Whoever said that it sucks you in was right. Half way though you are thinking frick this shite I wanna go home.
And also at some point you consider that the dude gonna be way fricked up at work tomorrow.
Insane to look back and realize it was perfectly normal to leave the house with only $20 in your wallet and with no atm or credit card even though we did it all the time.
Mom from home alone in it at the end, rip.

I would also recommend Slaves of New York, which is set in the mid-eighties New York art scene. Buscemi is in this one also.

Funny this thread got bumped b/c I dusted off my queue of Criterion 4ks I need to watch 2 weekends ago and watched this for the first time. It definitely exceeded expectations and made me long for the "fish out of water" (over one night) movies that were common in the 80s and early 90s. I almost made a thread about that specific genre.
It was absolutely beautiful on the Criterion 4k transfer.
One of the darkest black comedies I've ever seen.
This inspired me to buy/watch Color of Money last weekend because it made me want to explore that era of Scorsese, after he had some commercial failures and was out of the "auteur/blank check" phase and he took some gigs for money where they weren't his babies. Really shows how much better he was than Coppola and a few others of that generation who lacked the ability to pivot into these sorts of movies.

Yep
Into the Night is my all time favorite in this category, and it's weird that it and After Hours were both released in 1985

The entire film gushes it.

I watched this last week. It reminded me a lot of Pulp Fiction with all the little stories. Even had Rosanna Arquette in an overdose story. Pretty entertaining overall.

I tried watching it and fell asleep. It starts out very slow and I was tired after a workout.

Good little flick with Michelle Pfeiffer and Jeff Goldblum
Of the nighttime city movies from the 80s this was also my favorite

Adventures in Babysitting is underrated in the genre, IMHO.
Does Eyes Wide Shut count?
