i love this film, my childhood was exactly the same, this movie should be talked about more and seen, its the best high school teen movie ever made. big influence on the larry clark films, the smells like teen spirit film clip, over the edge was the inspiration. think fast times at ridge high, but serious. movies like KIDS, BULLY, were inspired by this film. for 1979 it was way ahead of its time, the high school movies made now are a joke, schools should use this film, its perfect, not one ounce of sentimentality if i was a 16-17 year old i would love this film. sad thing is the film has become just a footnote, rather than a genre definer, if you kids think breakfast club is cool, once you have watched this you will change your mind
