This 104 minute feature film is a DVD starring Matt Dillon , Kelly Lynch, James LeGros, and Heather Graham.
DRUGSTORE COWBOY was one of a group of films that led to the explosion of American independent cinema. Director Gus Van Sant generally maintains his highly stylized vision, regardless of a film's budget. His later films continue to illustrate the dreamlike moments contained in highly disturbing situations.
The film captures a slice of Americana through the back door. Bob (Matt Dillon) is an energetic junkie who leads his wife (Kelly Lynch) and another couple on a reckless spree of drugstore robberies, for drugs. When he has a brush with death, Bob realizes he must leave both his addiction and his wife if he wants to survive. Van Sant's lush photography gives us a glimpse into these lives, lending immortality to people on the fringes of society. DRUGSTORE COWBOY is a classic film that launched the career of one of the most important American directors working today.
Theatrical release: October 6, 1989

This is real. Besides being a classic, & very important film, "Drugstore Cowboy" is realism at it's best. Believe me, this is what it's really like out there. There's no B.S. in the riveting movie. Submitted by B.T. Cat (Canada) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 1 of 1 found this helpful.
Highly addictive This movie will leave you addicted for sure. Five star preformances in this! Dillon, Ghraham and Lynch are well played in this, as strung out junkies who's daily high addiction keeps them robbing pharmacys for their high! Truly an excellent film!
