    The opening music to this movie reminds me of my youth and makes me long for it. There is something about this song and the "Live to tell" song by Madonna that is beautiful, sad, and refreshing at the same time. I love it!

    Saw this movie for the first time the other night. I have to say I'm not the sentimental type but for some reason this movie moved me and made me think about it days later. The Madonna song intertwined throughout the movie was spectacular and a perfect fit. Really well done. You can even tell back then that Sean Penn was going to be a really good actor. You really can't beat the decade of the 80's for movies and music.

      because it didn't fit the narrative of 1980s movies. an oppressive father in a time of massive military expansion didn't exactly go hand in hand with chuck Norris, Stallone, jean Claude van dam. behind the tinsel is the real tinsel.

      it was ahead of its time, when you think 80's flicks, you think of the fun movies, back to the future, E.T., raiders of the lost ark, empire strikes back, gremlins, poltergiest, top gun,.. serious movies like this and permanent record with keanu reeves are so under rated

She was a beast back then and Pat is so fucking talented this is such a haunting yet mysterious theme. As you can rob tell i love it alot

      Harold Faltermeyer did a great job with the Beverley Hills Cop Soundtrack as well. There’s just something so haunting with this song. Instrumentally the chord/melody structure is outstanding on its own, then Madonna came along and turned it into something extraordinary. There was something about music scores in the 80’s that still has a resounding effect on me. Love Theme from St Elmo’s Fire as well. Melodic Perfection

    This is the sort of movie you are willing to watch during late night. But the huge difference is that it does bring you into the atmosphere with it's music. It's kind of ironic since most of the movie is set in nightfall and I first watched it during a cold winter night. I still repeated this when I show this movie to my brother and her girflriend at their house, a few weeks later on at a same sort of late night hour.

    Possibly the darkest, yet most alluring romantic movie I’ve ever seen.
    I could be wrong though, I don’t know.

    Sean Penn and Madonna 2 incredibly talented tough people who both have done extraordinary work. I wondered about them as a couple because of the iron sharpens iron aspect of things. The acting in this movie is gritty believable, and scary. Bravo to all involved.

    I can’t imagine how epic this first scene was to see in the movie theaters. I was only 7 when this came out, so I didn’t see it when it was in theaters.

      Samia, nothing else in the rest of the movie (other than Penns two encounters with Masterson, of course!) can match the magic of this opening sequence. It's a good film but it could've been a great film, but really, when you think about it, it was going to be very difficult for Foley to match those magical slow-motion shots of Masterson in this sequence especially from a purely cinematic perspective.

    I have just located this film based on my enduring love for Madonna performance of Live to Tell, which is indeed haunting and touching. Hopefully Madonna would know that a Mainland Chinese has been her fan for almost 35 years.

    I grew up in the area where this took place in real life. I would have sworn at they filmed it @2:56 in Oxford, Pennsylvania, where Bruce Johnston Jr met Robin Miller, as fictionalize by Brad Jr and Terri in this movie. I was knocked out when I found they filmed this in Tennessee. It looks IDENTICAL to Oxford of the late 70s/early 80s as I remember. Music makes it 10000 more powerful

      @@scottyclayton5604 you can google some pics to get a better idea. On any normal year, people travel a good bit to here during Thanksgiving and Christmas. The bank you see in the background to the left of the courthouse is now a mellow mushroom pizza. Most of the historic buildings are preserved, but are different businesses. My bank is actually on the circle, and it’s an old brothel/hotel salon from the late 1800’s. It’s been redone, but they have kept most of the bones of the building in tact. The courthouse is preserved well, and looks almost perfect but that’s because they don’t use it for that anymore. It’s more like a library or landmark now. It’s just there. On the opposite side of that, they built a new courthouse with a parking garage. Most of the old lofts leading up to the circle are trendy shops or restaurants now. Lot of good places to eat and drink and walk around. There’s a Nice Irish bar there. My barber is around the circle. The civil war monument she is standing next too is untouched, and in December they make it into a Christmas tree. It’s a really nice town. Watching this scene is pretty haunting.
