THE BEST 80's FLICK EVER!! I loved it from beginning to end when it first came out, when NO ONE had heard of Nick Cage, or knew his real name (as in Francis Ford Coppola's nephew!)but I knew then that no red-blooded American chick would ever have to hear him say again "Like com bak suun!" He epitomizes all your mother wanted you to hate & all you could ever want with the romanticism of Carey Grant! I mean, let's face it ladies, who wouoldn't want to see a love-struck "hunk" camping outside our bedroom! The soundtrack is FAB as well & if you'll notice, lots of songs in the past 20 years have included parts of these great tunes, or been influenced and shaped by some of these intensely punk grooves. And let's face it, don't we all just want to find that one person that will "stop the world & melt with you(us)?" It doesn't matter if you know this film, as I do, word by word, from beginning to end, it will never get old because we all need to remember to "grow into our own person, you know!" And we need to continually grow up into functioning adults, while not ever losing our youth, like Julie's parents, lest we become square or "sooo borin!"Read full review
I saw this movie when it first came out. Nicholas Cage's breakout role to a long movie career. Deborah Foreman is fantastic as Julie....the Valley Girl. Loved it then.....love it now! Take me back to the 80's.

One of the best 80's cult classic movies! With an early Nicholas Cage in primo acting form. Touching, funny and thought-provoking with good life lessons. Brings back all the good (and bad) memories of high school. You'll laugh, cry, be shocked, all while reminiscing about the "good 'ole days". Fairly hard to find, so grab it if you haven't seen it or if you want to see it for the 37th time, like me. I ordered this for my 16 year son and the material is still relevant 30 years later. He loved it and will ne telling all his friends about this great movie. Some mild nudity, language & substance abuse references, but nothing a high schooler doesn't already encounter every day in real life.
This is a 80's classic twist on Romeo & Juliet where a preppy Valley Girl is smitten with a young, handsome punk rock version of Nicholas Cage. Equally sweet and goofy with a killer Soundtrack. Excellent purchase in great condition. Very happy.

As a movie buff i tend to gravitate towards the 80's era of movies....i think its because of the acting. with that said you can't go wrong with a good old cheesy bubble gum type teenage love story. glad to have finally found a great deal on a new dvd copy...like totally gnarly dude.
