	Movies - Dogfight

Dogfight (1991) is a film set in San Francisco, California, during the Vietnam War (1963 – 1966), and stars River Phoenix and Lili Taylor.

It explores the love between a young marine, Eddie Birdlace, on his way to Vietnam, and a young woman, Rose Fenny. Both lovers are portrayed as innocent and inexperienced: Birdlace is angry and inept, and Fenny is idealistic but unsophisticated.

The "dogfight" refers to an "ugly date" contest which Taylor, if she worked hard at it, barely qualified for, even though she ultimately "wins".A classic "dogfight" is a contest among a group of men in which they each go out and find the ugliest female that they can, and persuade her to come to go to a 'party'. At the party the guy with the ugliest date wins.

The film itself was released in only two US cinemas and went straight-to-video in Europe.
