(1985) Griffin Dunne stars in this fine Martin Scorsese-directed blind date nightmare set in New York's Soho area. Dunne meets a woman in a cafe, gets her number, then meets up with her later. The date goes from promising, to bad, to worse, to worser. Terrific black comedy (It's really a blend of black comedy and film noir) has great cast including Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, John Heard, and Cheech and Chong. Yes, Cheech and Chong. It was written by the guy who wrote another great black comedy, Vampire's Kiss, starring Nicholas Cage.
