Released the same year as PULP FICTION, Kevin Smith’s debut deserves equal credit within the indie film boom: Tarantino took the world by storm with a flashy, star-studded classic, but Smith showed that you could also just mess around with buddies (and Visa cards) and still end up with your name in lights. Crude in every sense of the word, CLERKS is an unpretentious, laugh-out-loud funny tribute to jaded working class Gen X’ers, and we hope you’ll join us in revisiting it.

Dante (Brian O’Halloran) is called in to cover a shift at his New Jersey convenience store on his day off. His friend Randal (Jeff Anderson) helps him pass the time, neglecting his video-store customers next door to hang out in the Quick Stop. The uneventful day is disrupted by news that one of Dante’s ex-girlfriends has died. After attending her memorial service, Dante muses over staying with current girlfriend Veronica (Marilyn Ghigliotti) or reuniting with ex Caitlin (Lisa Spoonhauer).

“Cheap, touching, and downright nasty, Kevin Smith’s first feature still remains the ultimate cinematic tribute to slackers.” – Slant Magazine
