Skaterdater (1966)
10/10
When it rained during recess....................

Skater Dater brings back a lot a childhood memories. This is one of the three films we always watched in Catholic school when it rained during recess or lunch. It was this along with "The Red Balloon" or "Born Free." I've probably seen this movie a good 25 to 30 times.

This was back in the late 60's through mid 70's, and just around the time I was starting to have an interest in girls. Before I had a crush on Marsha Brady and Laurie Partridge, there was the girl on the bicycle from Skater Dater.

What was also great about watching this movie when I was young was where it was filmed. I grew up in Torrance, CA. and all of the locations were in south Torrance (my neighborhood) and in Rolling Hills (an adjoining city). I knew all locations very well. Maybe if I had kept a better eye out, I would have seen the girl on the bike ride by, but alas, it was not meant to be.

If anyone knows where I can buy a copy of this film (VHS is fine, but would prefer DVD) please post and let me know.
