Swingers is a 1996 comedy-drama film about the lives of single, unemployed actors living on the 'eastside' of Hollywood, California during the 1990s swing revival. Written by Jon Favreau and directed by Doug Liman, the movie starred Favreau and Vince Vaughn, and also featured performances by Ron Livingston and Heather Graham.

This film was rated #57 on Bravo's "100 Funniest Movies." The film was honored on the 2007 Spike TV Guys' Choice Awards.

An absolute classic. Memorable characters and dialogue ("you're so money" and it's variants made their way into my vocabulary for a long while after seeing the movie) and some cool winks/homages to great films of the time (Goodfellas and Reservoir Dogs). Favreau was terrific as the guy trying to get back in the love game, but a young, and thin Vince Vaughn steals the show as his buddy Trent.

"our little baby's all growns up" :lol:

Yeah, this is great, and surprisingly heartfelt and genuine. Too bad Vince Vaughn turned into an asshole.

About 20 years ago I saw Made, and I enjoyed it. Never saw this until now. It's an instant classic! I love "Bible of" movies, and this is one of them. It's a guide to picking up girls, whether it's right or wrong...it's fucking class. And there are tons of catchphrases too. Vaughn is never better, and I suppose it's the film that typecast him forever. Favreau is like a different person. He's well built and only has the one chin! Did I mention that it's hilarious? I can't fault it.

I also saw Made first - probably in the mid 00s. Made is good. This is great.
