1969: Model Shop

The loose sequel to Lola has the kind of screenplay that won't get you any love in screenwriting class: A day in the life of George, who has to deal with his girlfriend nagging about his lack of ambition, the worry of being drafted into Vietnam and the company who want to repossess his car, so George drives around town trying to raise a hundred dollars and meets Lola, who now works in a "model shop", where people can take their own pin-up photos. This one is going to make some people fall asleep, but I liked the excellent cinematography, the film's time-capsule quality and its general feel. One of the rare sequels (if it is a sequel) that I liked better than the original. (7)
