Everybody Wants Some!! (Linklater, 2016)
Richard Linklater's Everybody Wants Some!! isn't exactly Men With Guns--it doesn't deliberately push mainstream audiences away--but neither is it the follow up to Boyhood that I was hoping for.

Boyhood (Linklater, 2014)
Like a Wes Anderson film, but without all the twee.

Before Midnight (Linklater, 2013)
The fatalism imbuing the characters and the film is certainly representative of what many couples feel in middle-age, a period in which there are as many or more choices behind them as awaiting them and where the quality of a relationship is influenced as much by the fruit of past decisions as the pleasurable contemplation of future ones.

Me and Orson Welles (Linklater, 2008)
It is to the credit of Me and Orson Welles that it managed to make me nostalgic for those days while reminding me why I grew to move on from them. It is the best film I've seen about the theater life (and make no mistake, it is about the theater and not the film community). Its pleasures and its insights into human relations are not depended on an historic interest in Welles or the Mercury Theater, although it works on that level, too, I suppose.
