Girlfriends (1978)

I loved Girlfriends. It's a delightful Mazursky-esque comedy that seems to prefigure the Noah Baumbach–Greta Gerwig collaborations of the 2000s. Bob Balaban and Christopher Guest both have key roles, but this is just a hilarious feminist film about singlehood and marriage and having a career and being an adult. This should be a classic. Its obscurity is undeserved.

...and two weeks later Criterion announced it was releasing this on DVD!
