Follow-up your Thanksgiving with this 1975 indie classic, A Boy and His Dog, based on Harlan Ellison's novella.

We've shown this annually as our Thanksgiving movie, not knowing how many folks would come out due to it being the weekend of that holiday, but attendance last year was good enough to do it *yet* again!

The year is 2024. World War IV, which only lasted 5 minutes, has long been over, leaving behind a postapocalyptic wasteland. 18-year old Vic (Don Johnson in his first, and by far best, performance) wanders with his dog, Blood, who communicates with him telepathically. The none-too-bright Vic scavenges for food; the rather learned and sarcastically witty Blood sniffs out women for sex. Into this relationship comes Quilla, a woman from "Down Under"--a supposedly idyllic underground society which attempts to preserve the past. Quilla lures Vic "Down Under" where he discovers that there are some rather nefarious plans for him. Considered by fans and detractors alike to have one of the best film endings ever and was a direct influence on films such as Mad Max and The Road Warrior.

If you know the ending, you can probably figure out why we here at MOBS sort of see it as a Thanksgiving movie...Oh, and this ain't necessarily one for the kids.
