Movie-A-Day #205: Drugstore Cowboy (1989).

Gus Van Sant turns 59 years old today. A lot of his birthday tributes will probably focus of his later Hollywood work like “Milk” or “Good Will Hunting,” but his early indie films are very worthwhile. Give “Drugstore Cowboy” a chance if you haven’t yet – Matt Dillon, Kelly Lynch, Heather Graham, James LeGros and a cameo by the original drugstore cowboy himself, William S. Burroughs.
