Okay... let's start this review off by saying I do have the movie taped from an old HBO showing. The fact that it's not on DVD seems to have actually DEtracted it from the better rating it should be getting. As far as I know, it's still the Bruce Springsteen songs that are holding up a DVD release. Are they worth it? YES! Until you see the movie, you cannot understand the relevance of Springsteen's music to a movie set in the mid 1960s. They really do make all of the difference and to release a DVD without them would be criminal. For the movie itself... it's a wonderful slice of teenage life, whether it be the 1906s or today. Who cannot relate to Jill with her little 45 player, singing along in her room? Has losing your virginity ever seemed so realistic? And the end, where Vincent Spano goes to Rosanna Arquette's dorm room, tears it apart, leading to the confrontation on the staircase???? My best romantic moment ever in cinema, because it is so real. That scene sticks with me as being one of my favorites in cinematic history, it's that good.
