Paul\u2019s increasingly chaotic night starts off to a bad start, when his only $20 flies out of his taxi cab window and he\u2019s unable to pay his fare.<\/p>\n<p>Things only get worse from here, and Marcy proves herself to be a much more erratic and unstable figure than he realized. Unsettled by why he experiences there, he abandons their date and ends up at a bar \u2014 one thing leads to another, and Paul ultimately becomes the subject of a neighborhood vigilante mob, in addition to the object of ire of several women; <em>and<\/em> he has no way of getting back. <em>After Hours<\/em> is a calamitous, topsy-turvy and absurd nighttime odyssey and will likely satisfy fans of movies like\u00a0<em>Good Time, Inherent Vice<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Under the Silver Lake.<\/em>\u00a0Watching <em>After Hours<\/em> is like getting stuck in the funniest level of Hell out of <em>Dante\u2019s Inferno<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h2>Every Performance in \u2018After Hours\u2019 Is a Standout<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"After Hours (1985) - Phone Call Scene (8\/9) | Movieclips\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MsKaN_QrVT8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In addition to Dunne, Arquette and Fiorentino, <em>After Hours\u2019<\/em> terrific ensemble cast includes a number of great character actors, including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/catherine-o-hara\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catherine O\u2019Hara<\/a>, Teri Garr, John Heard, Will Patton<\/strong> and <strong>Cheech and Chong,<\/strong> and pretty much everyone gets a moment to shine as a surreal and off-kilter personality. O\u2019Hara plays an odd ice cream truck driver who initially offers Paul help but ultimately ends up leading a lynch mob against him. Garr plays a waitress who brings Paul to her apartment to sleep with him, but flirts so aggressively that Paul leaves \u2014 and she brands him a burglar in return.<\/p>\n<p>Fiorentino\u2019s Kiki is stoic and unnerving, while Heard plays perhaps the only character with truly innocent intentions for Paul; yet things go south there as well. Meanwhile, Arquette shines as Marcy, an initially likable character who progressively unspools the longer we spend time with her. Basically, every sequence in which Paul spends time with these characters exists as if it\u2019s its own little \u201cfinal boss\u201d moment, Paul coming face-to-face with yet another obstruction on his endless quest to make his way back home uptown.

Movies like <em>The Age of Innocence<\/em> and\u00a0<em>The Color of Money<\/em> tend to get forgotten about, and that\u2019s no coincidence \u2014 many of these movies come from the period of Scorsese\u2019s career when he was essentially working for hire to fund the projects he actually wanted to make. Scorsese\u2019s then-recent films, <em>The King of Comedy<\/em> and <em>The Last Temptation of Christ, <\/em>had both been box office bombs. Thus, Scorsese became attached to <em>After Hours<\/em> after director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/tim-burton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Tim Burton<\/strong><\/a> stepped away from the project, as a way to \u201cactually\u201d make some money.<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-related article link-related__with-thumb\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__thumbnail related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/5-80s-movies-worth-rewatching-ranked-after-hours-and-more\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"article__figure\">\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:56.25%;\" class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/king-of-comedy.jpg?w=400&amp;h=225&amp;crop=1&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all\" srcset=\"\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 400px, (max-width: 770px) calc(100vw - 6em), 200px\" alt=\"Sandra Bernhard in The King of Comedy\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" data-fallback-img=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/king-of-comedy.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all\"\/><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article__content\">\n<h3 class=\"article__title\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"article__title-link related-ab-test\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/5-80s-movies-worth-rewatching-ranked-after-hours-and-more\/\" target=\"\" data-source=\"01\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n    <span class=\"related-badge\">Related: <\/span><span class=\"related-title\">5 &#8217;80s Movies That Are Worth Rewatching, Ranked: &#8216;After Hours&#8217; and More<\/span><\/a><br \/>\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>\n\t\t\tHere at Watch With Us, we love the \u201980s.

Watch With Us wants to celebrate some of the decade\u2019s cinema offerings by highlighting five particularly rewarding movies that we feel are worth checking out a second [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>But\u00a0<em>After Hours<\/em> is quietly one of Scorsese\u2019s best movies; at least, in the humble opinion of the Watch With Us team. It\u2019s a simple 97-minute film that\u2019s incredibly funny, incredibly unique and completely unpredictable, featuring actors doing some of the weirdest performances of their careers. And Scorsese makes <em>After Hours<\/em> utterly his own, employing high-energy direction, ambitious camerawork and frenetic editing all woven together to make the movie feel like somewhere between a dream and a nightmare.
