IRONWEED (1987) --Mike M., submitter

Synopsis:

This is probably NOT a good choice of a movie to watch back-to-back with, say, LEAVING LAS VEGAS.  Jack Nicholson plays a drunken bum haunted by visions of his past life and accompanied by equally boozy fellow travelers, notably including actress Meryl Streep and singer/actor Tom Waits.  Images of death and regret are made more vivid by the realistic gray Depression era (1938) surroundings.  A beautifully written, brutal, cheerless, and brilliant movie.
