Dead Man Walking, Hype, off the top of my head.

Pap · November 2012

Many thanks! I'm watching Hype! tonight.

This may sound odd, but I've always felt that "The Cable Guy" had kind of a grunge feel too it.

Jack Black is also seen wearing a Superunknown shirt in the film, and I believe it's set somewhere in the NW.

Thank you Dave! I'm going to watch it one of these days. Tonight, I'm watching Dead Man Walking. Hype! is an amazing movie!

There's a Sean Penn film and his daughter is in the movie. EV did the soundtrack which is a lot better than the film. I think it was called Flag Day - see trailer Bing Videos

^ Thank you! I've already watched Flag Day

Black Sheep (1996). It's the hastened Farley/Spade studio production to cash in on the success of Tommy Boy.

Filmed in WA and has Mudhoney. Subpar movie, but it has mid-90's nostalgia. Good Sunday morning watch in the background.

Cameron Crow films are good.

Yep

Any other recommendations?
Do the Basketball Diaries (1995) fall under the Grunge movies category?

I think Basketball Diaries counts!

I've been rewatching Twin Peaks for the first time in 25 years, and I forget how of the time it was - certainly puts me back in the grunge era - people wearing flannels, filmed in Washington (Snoqualmie), the hair, look and style. Zero music however, but that show is about as 1990 as it gets for me "

@PJ1973 it sound like you might enjoy Twin Peaks the return, 25 years later. EV features on the soundtrack, out of time, possibly.

PJ1973 · May 27

I didn't see The Return when it came out, but now about EV, or Eddie Severson, as he's credited, lol.

I'm making my way up to it now - 1/2 way through season 2 now.

1991: The Year Punk Broke

I enjoyed this documentary that's primarily about Sonic Youth.
