Eddie And The Cruisers

In the wake of a flood of eighties movies that have crossed by my eyes tonight, this one stuck with me the longest. As much as I love Street of Fire, I am so glad that Michael Pare has this one on his resume. It's such a finely crafted tale with an ending that knocked me out. I remember at the time just sitting in the theatre watch the credits go by and the house lights come up and then the theatre staff telling us we had to leave. But we sat there a few seconds more just soaking it in. Great time at the movies.
