Any other fans? It didn't get the recognition it should've for a lot of reasons, but I think it really made a statement and was based on a true story. Great rock music in it also

Great rock music in it also Over the Edge 1979 film To my recollection I don't think I every saw this film but thanks so much jayhn1111 for this movie recommendation ( from the wiki write up it looks like a good one too ) . Just curious was this movie in the same style like - Rumble Fish 1983or was it completely different from it ?

Someone suggested this a few months ago so I downloaded and watched it. Unless your a big fan of Matt Dillon ( this was his first) I wouldn't bother. I mean, it wasn't bad but nothing spectacular. Basically, teen angst for the 70's.

There's nothing wrong with being nostalgic on this jayhn1111 . Thanks I really do think it's a very good movie. It has a big cult following. What really hurt the success of the movie was that it was taken out of the theaters very quickly because of the negative publicity surrounding some other youth gang films at the time like Warriors and all that. And it had very good rock music in it. Well at least for my taste I thought so I have never seen Rumblefish but in reading the description of the movie, they don't sound so similar. Over the edge didn't have any gang things in it but rather a whole group of kids that went to the same school and lived in the same area

And it had very good rock music in it. Well at least for my taste I thought so That's exactly how I feel about the film Xanadu 1980 . Of course even though it had negative reviews by the critics . I almost never go by what film critics say about films anyway . I usually make my own judgements or decisions when it comes to films I wish to view and enjoy too . So for me the Xanadu film will always have a special place in my heart and good memories of it too . IMPO - It had a bit of everything - a basic & uncomplicated storyline , an awesome memorable cast ( like Gene Kelly & Olivia Newton-John ) , and an excellent soundtrack as well ( music by the band ELO & Olivia Newton-John too ) . So I totally understand how you feel about the film Over The Edge . I will definitely be looking out for this one on cable too . Thanks again jayhn1111 for your reply and this subject post .

Yeah that's true that each film means something different for all of us. I enjoy a lot of movies that get 2 stars and hate the movies that get 4 stars so it's tricky to go by ratings and reviews. I do remember Xanadu fairly well. That's one that gets mixed reactions for sure lol. It's my pleasure that's why I love this place. I don't think I posted anything bad about xanadu here, but if I did, please don't hate me

I don't think I posted anything bad about xanadu here, but if I did, please don't hate me I'm the same exact way too jayhn1111 ( what I call myself - " The underdog of underrated or special to me films " ) . I also couldn't hate you my new friend you have been very kind to me here on this board since I first arrived ( thanks so much for that also ) . I so agree everyone here is entitled to their own personal opinions especially about TV Shows & Movies etc. and so long as no one gets too mean or hurtful acting with each other about someone liking something they don't either ( like the Old IMDB on certain boards certain posters used to do this - some were even quite vulgar in their statements too - very unnecessary ) . Other than that it's been an awesome board here so far and Admin has been doing a wonderful job with it too ( I'm here to stay ! ) . Again thanks so much jayhn1111 for your reply .

Thanks! You are one of my favorite posters here so I just wouldn't want you to read one of my negative rants about one of your favorite movies! I'm not the type to get personal and throw insults here, but still it's not always pleasant for people to see somebody bash something you love so I know how that is. Although I will admit we all have our moments when arguments arise on the politics board. But this board as a whole is truly awesome though and I've had discussions with a lot of good people.

Thanks so very much for your kind words here jayhn1111 ( it is very appreciated here too ! ) . You always seem very kind and I would never think of you as being insulting here either . I actually never went on the Politics Boards ( here or on the old IMDB ) and don't plan to - it's just not my cup of tea . In my household the big joke is I'm actually a " Dinotopian " ( from the TV movie mini series version ) . Of course I don't usually follow all of these rules to the letter here either ( I know shame on me here ) .

"A kid who tells on another Kid is a dead kid."
I think the movies great. 8 or 9 out of 10. The ending deserves to be more iconic.

The movie I believe got really good reviews as well. I didn't particularly care for the ooh child song at the end, but that's me.

To me it didn't seem like they had it THAT terrible. The complaint seemed to have been that they didn't have places to go and all that and did not develop any places where kids can hang out. Big deal. What did everybody do as a teenager? Played sports, We all hung out at school yards or somebody's house or a party and drank beer or smoked weed or whatever, just like these kids did. Not everybody is going to have an amusement park in their backyard nor did any of us need one. You make your own things to do and You hang out with your friends and make the best of it.

That's exactly the statement that was being made. I can see it from both sides to an extent. Since this really happened, it does make one think. Well, not the part about the cars blowing up and locking the parents inside the school, but a lot of the other stuff.

Is this the movie where kids or a kid breaks into a high school? And there's like a community center for teens, where they gather to play pool and table hockey?
