Tales of Ordinary Madness (1981) - Ben Gazzara plays Charles Serking, a character loosely based on Bukowski's autobiographical character Henry Chinaski. The slow and stiffly acted film never found an audience, and Bukowski - though friendly with Gazzara - panned the actor's performance.
The film Barfly (1987) starring Mickey Rourke and written by Bukowski himself, was based on his life, the main character being his alter-ego, Henry Chinaski. His novel Hollywood was based on the tribulations of making this film.
The same year Barfly debuted (1987), the Belgian film Crazy Love directed by Dominique Deruddere, was released. Based on the Bukowski story The Copulating Mermaid of Venice, California, and portions of Ham on Rye, the film tells the story of a man's life by spotlighting three different nights spread over 20 years. Crazy Love was cited by Bukowski as his favorite film adaptation of his work.
In 1988, French Director Patrick Bouchitey directed the short movie 'Lune Froide' (English Title : 'Cold Moon'). The story is an interpretation of the Copulating Mermaid of Venice, California. It was then edited in a longer version in 1991 with the same title, but this time including parts taken from Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions and General Tales of Ordinary Madness.
A documentary entitled Bukowski: Born Into This was released in American theaters on July 9, 2004, generally to good reviews. Actor Sean Penn as well as musicians Tom Waits and Bono, friends and fans of Bukowski, appear in the film. An adaptation of Bukowski's second novel, Factotum, was shot in Minnesota in 2004 and premiered 2005-04-12 at the Kosmorama film festival in Trondheim, Norway. It was directed by Bent Hamer, and Matt Dillon plays the role of Henry Chinaski.
An adaptation of Bukowski's illustrated short story, Bring Me Your Love, was shot in New York City in 2006. It was directed by Independent Filmmaker Gui Teixeira.
