Swingers (1996)

Here's an awesome oral history of the classic Swingers, starring Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau when they were unknowns as hipsters trying to score chicks in L.A. in the 90s but wishing it was the 60s.

The lengths (via the short ends) that they went to make this movie was quite revealing.  "To make a movie, you need a little larceny in your heart".  Classic.  So Money!

Watching this again, I thought I was watching it out of order.  The Las Vegas scene was in the beginning, not the end.  And the golf and the answering machine was in the end, not the beginning.

The music made the movie - a lot more than I anticipated.  The swing band at the end - the house band at the Derby.

Lots of references to other movies:  Tarantino, Scoresce, but with some L.A. touches which were nice.  Somewhat derivative - very Seinfeld
