Lucky is a 2017 American drama film directed by John Carroll Lynch in his directorial debut, written by Logan Sparks and Drago Sumonja, and starring Harry Dean Stanton, with supporting roles played by David Lynch, Ron Livingston, Ed Begley Jr., Tom Skerritt, Barry Shabaka Henley, James Darren, and Beth Grant. The film tells the story of 90-year-old Lucky as he comes to terms with his own mortality and searches for enlightenment.

The film premiered at South by Southwest in March 2017, and was released in the United States by Magnolia Pictures in September of that year. It received positive reviews from critics and received several accolades. It was one of Stanton's final onscreen roles before his death, and Darren's final film role. Stanton posthumously won the Satellite Award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture for his performance.
