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

Pizzas! I Ordered No Pizzas!
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 is so overstated. Most of the destruction was to the self...

"A kid who rats on another kid, is a dead kid!"
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 headphones on.

The youth gone wild
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 friends' properties etc..This film is honest and...

It gets the era right....
I was a little older (but not much) than these kids in 1979 and it's as good a movie as you can find at depicting the era properly. The clothes, hairstyles, music, etc., are all VERY 1979. Fortunately, my circle of friends wasn't quite as extreme as these kids but they also weren't a lot...

Nothing like it.
The kids vs. the parents and cops. Completely over the top in ways they couldn't possibly do today. Brilliant and twisted. Children + ultra violence.

Brings back memories
Good flick; has some flaws (like why exactly is Richie running from the cops?). I remember the soundtrack; I think this movie helped Van Halen get noticed. I love it when you see all the kids with combs in their back pockets: hysterical. I forgot all about that.

Great movie!
Great movie for teens. I saw it along time ago not long after it came out and loved it. So many kids can relate to things in this movie, which helps you make a connection and pulls you into the story. Parents trying to deal with restless youth and kids trying to deal with school and parents....

Matt Dillion's first movie
This was a very cute movie. These kids got to do what all kids thought about doing. Most of the kids were not professional actors.
