Watch: Trees Lounge 1996 123movies, Full Movie Online – Things aren’t going so well for Tommy Basilio. He lost his job because he “borrowed” money from the register, his girlfriend left him for his boss and is now pregnant, and he can’t find work because of the incident. His life revolves around the Trees Lounge, a neighborhood bar over which he lives, full of the colorful eccentrics one finds in such places, like the estranged husband, or the old boozer drinking himself to death. He drunkenly wanders through his life, still in love with his ex, desperate for some sort of meaning beyond the bar, some sort of meaning to his life..
Plot: Tommy has lost his job, his love and his life. He lives in a small apartment above the Trees Lounge, a bar which he frequents along with a few other regulars without lives. He gets a job driving an ice cream truck and ends up getting involved with the seventeen-year-old niece of his ex-girlfriend. This gets him into serious trouble with her father.

Labor of Love
If John Cassavetes was alive, he’d have a copy of Trees Lounge in his video library. This is a story that is hard to tell, let alone find an audience. Although many can relate with the cast of lost souls hanging out at a bar most of the day, many will not admit to being somewhat connected to any of the characters. Filmed for less that 2 million, this independent, low budget, and somewhat of a masterpiece is brilliant as well as entertaining. Much of the cast has gone on to do other known films. Carol Kane, Mark Boone Junior Steve Buscemi, Bronson Dudley, Anthony LaPaglia and Steve’s brother Michael Buscemi star in this Minnie and Moskowitz type story. Seymour Cassell and Mimi Rogers add their touch of magic to this story as well. A deep story with deep characters, this is a movie worth watching.
I’ve known these people
Steve Buscemi is one of the greatest actors of all time, in my opinion, for the simple fact that he makes all of his characters memorable.This film is an accurate look at life for the guys who never really made the cut and were left behind in a world full of unused degrees and previous money.
The film is depressing, and therefore I’d recommend everyone watch it, especially those who were born into their own perfect little worlds and became what they are because of their parents’ money. This one is for the tools of society that don’t think that these people exist or think that they are merely peons. Get a clue; this was once the working population of the country.
