Sometimes complicated plots\u00a0and extravagant set-pieces are overrated. Sometimes the appeal of a film is escaping into a comfortable atmosphere to laze around with likeable characters. Quentin Tarantino <\/a>dubbed this particular kind of cinema \u201changout movies\u201d<\/a>, films where the primary focus is simply characters \u2018existing\u2019 and conversing with each other. Tarantino\u2019s own movies are often too edgy and erratic to qualify \u2013 although Reservoir Dogs <\/em>and Once Upon a Time\u2026 in Hollywood <\/em>come close \u2013 but these selections provide a sense of downtime and unhurried interaction for a particularly soothing type of sub-genre.<\/p>\n

\u201cHangout movies\u201d might seem simplistic, but creating a lackadaisical vibe without it becoming boring is harder than it looks. They keep viewers invested not with manufactured stakes or life-changing decisions, but celebrating the aimless energy of how people spend their time. Often, they become musical. Not literal singing-out-loud musicals<\/a> (although most feature chill soundtracks), but the feeling of relaxing to peaceful melodies. As many are still stuck at home<\/a> contemplating the days going by, these Hangout Movies are both reflective, and a pleasant way to pass the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tarantino identified Rio Bravo <\/em>as the first great hangout film. This 1959 Howard Hawks film is a classic Golden Age Western<\/a>, where Sheriff John T. Chance (John Wayne) must defend his town from threats after imprisoning the brother of a local outlaw. But Rio Bravo <\/em>is primarily concerned with how Chance and his deputies \u2013 a recovering alcoholic known as Dude (Dean Martin) and older crippled called Stumpy (Walter Brennan) \u2013 pass the time while holding out. This includes serious discussion of the Dude\u2019s drinking problem, affectionate banter with Stumpy, or them all singing the cowboy ballad \u201cMy Rifle, My Pony and Me\u201d together<\/a>. Additionally, the arrival of gambler Feathers (Angie Dickinson) brings a screwball romance<\/a> to Rio Bravo<\/em>, which despite the suspenseful danger waiting just outside, carves out a warm and inviting space on the frontier.<\/p>\n

Robert Altman was a highly innovative director, famous for his overlapping dialogue and vast ensemble casts. Few exemplify his signature techniques better than Nashville<\/em>, Altman\u2019s 3-hour masterpiece that features \u201c24 main characters\u201d and mostly consists of their lives within the country and gospel music heartland of Nashville, Tennessee. Some are established bands, others hopeful singers, some producers, some reporters, and some just audience members. Nashville <\/em>provides a mesmerizing and sprawling portrait of \u201870s America, with a lot of heart given toward these individuals and some great music too, culminating in one of the greatest film endings of all time.<\/p>\n

One of the exemplary John Hughes \u201880s teen movies<\/a> consists of 5 teenaged archetypes – popular Claire (Molly Ringwald), jock Andrew (Emilio Estevez), troublemaker John (Judd Nelson), nerd Brian (Anthony Michael Hall) and goth Allison (Ally Sheedy) \u2013 hanging out together during Saturday detention. \u00a0Although they initially grate against each other, due to their discordant cliques, through the day they open up and reveal their troubles beneath their archetypes, as well as a musical dance-number. Some of it may be outdated, but The Breakfast Club <\/em>is a classic piece of teen-empowerment that delves into identity, after spending time with people you thought you knew.<\/p>\n

Richard Linklater often makes films with loose narrative-structures about the passage of time; be it the Before <\/em>trilogy, Boyhood<\/em>, or his debut indie-film Slacker<\/em>. And Dazed and Confused <\/em>is no different, following different groups of Texas teenagers during the last day of school in 1976. The movie is very subdued and observational, witnessing these teenagers as they argue and drink and smoke and laugh with each other. But it\u2019s also suffused with this aura of anticipation, of the characters looking towards the future even as they\u2019re trying to enjoy the present. \u201cThat\u2019s what I love about these high school girls\u201d, as Wooderson (Matthew McConaughey) (in)famously says, \u201cI get older, they stay the same age\u201d. Dazed and Confused <\/em>shows how cruel teenagers were too through various \u2018hazing\u2019 rituals, but it also shows how precious this age could be, combined with a rocking \u201870s soundtrack. Few films can capture the aimless mundanity and the immense profundity of hanging out right after school ends.<\/p>\n

The commercial breakout of Paul Thomas Anderson chronicling the rise and fall of \u201cthe Golden Age of pornography\u201d sounds like it should be a sleazy joke. But what is most surprising is how wholesome Boogie Nights <\/em>really is (beneath the drugs and nudity), where Dirk Diggler\u2019s (Mark Wahlberg) dream of being a porn-star is him fulfilling his potential, and the company he keeps a sincere and loving \u201cextended family\u201d. Boogie Nights <\/em>itself is a swirling and startling film, that opens with an extended long-take and glides through numerous party scenes. The soundtrack is, again, fantastic and compliments PTA\u2019s slick direction. These intoxicating hangout vibes of the \u201870s first half do lead to further depravity later in the \u201880s, but whatever the outcome or \u2018reality\u2019 of the era, Boogie Nights <\/em>is a fun and commanding reminiscence of it.<\/p>\n

Another Hangout movie nostalgic for the \u201870s is Cameron Crowe\u2019s Almost Famous<\/em>, his semi-autobiographical film about an underaged rock journalist William Miller (Patrick Fugit) sent to cover the road tour of up-and-coming rock band<\/a> Stillwater. Almost Famous <\/em>languishes on these \u201con the road\u201d scenes, installing the sense of community and collective irresponsibility they held, accompanied by pitch-perfect music of the era. Of course, Almost Famous <\/em>is also about such scenes can turn ugly, and that William must maintain his journalistic integrity to be \u201chonest and unmerciful\u201d about his new rock star friends. But such potent dilemmas come from the fun scenes of relaxing backstage or them singing \u201cTiny Dancer\u201d on their tour-bus. After all, it’s by spending time together William get to really \u2018know\u2019 them beneath the rock star glamour, understanding that \u201cthe only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone when you\u2019re uncool\u201d.<\/p>\n
