Really liked this one at the time. Haven't seen it in years. I think I saw it listed on HBO GO today, so I'm in.

Other good'uns from or pretty close to this period:
Radio Days (quite a bit earlier I guess, but still... underrated)
Crimes and Misdemeanors (already mentioned this, but it's one of the best)
Manhattan Murder Mystery
Bullets Over Broadway

Ok, STOP. LISTEN TO ME...
Rosemary's Baby is fucking terrifying and extremely fucked up, and I know it's more "Hollywood" than the other "Apartment" films, but I would not call it mainstream. Anyone who is sane is deeply unsettled by this film, and if you said you weren't, I'd think you were either a liar or a sociopath.

Rosemary's Baby is. Fucked. Up.

This is the truth. Great movie, but fucked as all hell. You are right to be scared by it. Don't let anybody ever tell you otherwise. If they do, they'll have to deal with me, understand?!
