Last Picture Show, The
In a bleak and sleepy 50s Texas town, two high-school seniors, stars on a losing football team, ponder their futures, carry on love affairs with the town sweetheart and and an older, married woman respectively, and look to fatherly advice from the ex-cowboy owner of the town's pool hall/cafe and moviehouse.
But when the moviehouse closes for good it not only forces the youths to reeaxmine what lies ahead, it also signals the end of an era.
