What themes do movies set in bars and clubs tend to share in common? Here are three such features:
- Alcohol (Oh, like that\'s a surprise)
- Music
- Starlets trying to get that big break.
Here is our pick of the top eight bar flicks of all time.
Burlesque (2010)
Directed by Steven Antin, and starring Cher and Christina Aguilera (and their amazing voices), this is the narrative of a young lady with a songbird\'s voice who saves the old diva\'s night club, not just with her voice, but also with her clever strategy and legal expertise (think \"air rights\"). There are plenty of stage scenes, with splendid costumes and choreography - and incredible vocals with two such talented singers commanding the stage.
Chicago (2002)
Directed by Ron Marshall, and starring Renée Zellweger, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Richard Gere, this musical thriller is set in 1920\'s gangster-era Chicago. Two entertainers, a diva past her prime and a would-be star, both waiting on death row for the murder of the men in their lives, conspire to use their talents to escape the gallows and become famous. Queen Latifah adds extra spark to the story and the musical highlight is \"All that Jazz\".
Coyote Ugly (2000)
Directed by David McNally, this comedy classic starring newcomer Piper Perabo, Adam Garcia and Maria Bello is a chick flick with plenty going for the males in the audience, too. Coyote Ugly is the name of the dive where the action unfolds - where a young lady takes a job as a bar maid and teasing the male patrons to make ends meet - until she is to get her big break as a songwriter. Plenty of eye candy for the guys in this one.
Road House (1989)
Directed by Rowdy Herrington, Patrick Swayze (the ladies will enjoy this) is hired to set order at the Double-Duce, a brawl-infested honki-tonk in a small Missouri town. To clean up the bar, he must first clean up the town, which is paralyzed by fear by the local crime boss. More known for its fight scenes than for its music, it is noteworthy that the road house\'s band is lead by Canadian guitarist Jeff Healey.
Cocktail (1988)
Directed by Roger Donaldson and starring Tom Cruise, Bryan Brown and Elisabeth Shue. Like so many bar films, this is the narrative of a would-be hot-shot trying to make his big break. The main difference is that this is Tom Cruise, not a alluringstarlet.
BarFly (1987)
Directed by Barbet Schroeder and starring Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway and Alice Krige, this is the bar movie that features \"bar\" in its name. The story, such as it is, tells about how life is a sewer, but at least we drown in alcohol instead of sewage.
Strange Brew (1983)
Directed by and starring Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas, this flick is - wait for it - a comedy, eh? These Canucks can make a bar out of any place they happen to be, so why not a brewery (where the beer is already on tap, so to speak)? If you love Bob and Doug McKenzie, the SCTV characters of the 1980s, this is your kind of bar movie. Oh yeah, and lot\'s of alcohol (it is a bar, after all).
Casablanca (1942)
Directed by Michael Curtiz, and starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, this is the most classic bar movie of them all - surely a candidate for the most quoted movie of any. Bogart\'s piano lounge is a haven for refugees from the Nazis, and serves as the venue for plenty of intrigue and romance. Above all, Casablanca is famous for the line \"Play it again, Sam\" - a line that isn\'t even in the film.
We\'ll also give honourable mention to the following three flicks ...
Wild Hogs (2007), because they explode a bar(Now that\'s cool!)
Saturday Night Fever (1977), for perhaps the most famous dance scenes of all time, which do take place in a disco bar.
From Dusk Till Dawn (1996), just becasue the they named the bar The Titty Twister.
