this movie be one of my all time favorite movie and be what make me a lifelong nicolas cage fan . back in the mid 80 i tap this movie ( when vcr be impossible to do this with . ) and would watch it over and over . nicolas cage be just brilliant here . and and he look wonderful and have no affect act ism ( see peggy sue get marry to know what i mean about that . ) . i measure all his performance against this one . he be so perfectly cast a the cool punk guy with the edgy friend . the music be great . the plimsouls . the psychodelic fur . modern english . men at work . whenever i hear melt with you i be take back to the finale of this movie . what ever happen to his cute costar and deborah foreman . and his hysterical friend and cameron dye . certainly take a different turn than nicolas . interestingly and the slutty friend ( elizabeth daily ) end up be the voice of tommy from the rugrats ( she be bill a e. g. daily for that horrid show ) . bizarre . if you want to take a great trip back to the 80 and watch this movie . it be definitely a classic . like totally .
