Over the Edge
"Tomorrow's city...today" is how the planned suburban paradise of New Granada promotes itself, but something has been left out of the plans. No one is paying attention to the town's teens. Jonathan Kaplan directs this hot-blooded cult classic (a 1979 London Film Festival Outstanding Film Award winner) about kids left to discover their own values and coming up with enough drugs, booze and discontent to push everyone Over the Edge. Fourteen-year-old Matt Dillon makes his screen debut as the kids' charismatic, doomed leader Richie. The anthemic soundtrack by Van Halen, The Ramones, Cheap Trick and others provide the film's rock-n-roll heart. DVD Features:
Audio Commentary:Commentary by Director Jonathan Kaplan, Screenwriters Charlie Haas and Tim Hunter and roducer George Litto

This flick is much ado over nothing. I was sixteen when this flick came out and I can tell you it didn't speak for my generation. For sure there was a share of the imbibing of the forbidden juices and chemicals but the vandalism angle...

If your a lover of all things 70's, film, and 70's film; then this is a must have indeed. Great soundtrack, and amazing use of half shirts. Come on, we have all had the kind of day that the only cure is Cheap Trick cranked with the...

This is one of my favorite films of all time. WHy? Because I first saw it when I was 13 and I totally related to it. I don't mean the destruction at the end of the film, but at least, the desire for destruction of my school, parent's...

- This Movie Hoovers
Worst movie I've ever seen. Performances were amateurish and boring. No plot. Dated. Dated. Dated. Who really cares what happens to these cry babies? You'd do better standing in a corner staring at a wall.
