Ohhh, After Hours! Such a good movie. I worked for a while in the building with the big fancy gates where Griffin Dunne winds up back at his work. Amazing how impossible that scenario would be nowadays: the whole thing results from him losing his $20 bill out the window of a taxi, and he's stranded in SoHo late at night, dark, empty streets.

There are worse places and improbable now but still great to see Hours on cable TV, back then whenever then was
