A small town gas station in Texas provides the setting for this comedy drama by cult-movie maker Eagle Pennell. The station is run by Doc, an easy going guy, who is married to a most unpleasant wife who is having an open affair with a used-car salesman. Doc turns his eye upon the cute little barbecue stand owner down the street and begins dreaming of escape. Much of the film focuses upon the many people who frequent Doc's station, but seldom buy a thing. Other characters include Pee Wee, Big Silly and Little Silly, and Cecil. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

The Alamo is a seedy Houston bar, slated for demolition. The bar's habitues gather for one last binge before the wrecker's ball descends. In the course of a long evening (boiled down to 80 minutes' worth of film), the patrons laugh, cry, ruminate over the past and pontificate on the future. One of the more ambitious barflies (Sonny Carl Davis) stages an eleventh-hour effort to save the bar by touching bases with his old college roommate, who is now an important politician. Last Night of the Alamo is charmingly effective in its own crude, slapdash manner. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
