Streets of Fire 1984 Movie. Universal Studios Inc. Starring Diane Lane,Michael Pare,Willem Dafoe. A Great Piece of Musical Movie Last Over 30 Years & Still...
I bought this album when the film first came out. Used to play the album & in particular this song on the spare CB channel, enroute home to see my girl - all the way from Dover. So she would know I was on my way. My rig was a little 'different' from the normal set-ups you could buy over here in UK, at the time. LOL
I don't f***g believe I found this song ! I was looking for it for 30 years ! Like a long lost love after having watched the movie. I was 17 back then. Please pardon the language but this is incredible. 80's forever no matter what the cost was ! When cost didn't count.
I can't get enough of this song.. I know I've played it over a thousand times. Jim Steinman is a genious and thank you to Holly Sherwood for the incredible vocals..
Jim Steinman wrote and produced this song. He is known for 'Total Eclispe of the Heart' sung by Bonnie Tyler and 'I'd do anything for love but I won't do that' by Meat Loaf. Steinman's music is classic and second to none!
Around new year's eve 1984, one of the major tv networks played a show called, Playback '84. My family didn't have cable, so anything that showed music videos was an absolute treat! I recorded the whole tv show on my fisher-price tape recorder. They played this video, and became OBSESSED over this song. I was in 4th grade, but I would still call radio stations and ask them to play it, but I never knew the name of the band or artist. Pretty much everyone I ever spoke to about this song was clueless. Some time in the mid/late 90s, I was flipping through late night tv and saw this scene in the movie, and just about died from joy. However, before the age of the internet and lacking tv guides, I had no idea what movie it was. I am so thankful for youtube, because I can still obsess over this song...it will forever be one of my favorites! BTW, I still have that cassette tape, it is one of my most prized possessions!!
Heared this song a few times on Radio some years back but never new title or singer.By voice was always looking for Bonnie Tyler.Now listening did not pay much attention though it started to sound familiar.While reading your post similarities came up and here we go...got it.One of those many great songs you may have heared somtime somewhere and never had a chance to know. Also straight out of the 80's.Best time ever.Was a great experience,Glad to have been there.
That's a great story! I can totally understand loving this song. It's awesome! I saw the movie in the theater (yeah, I'm getting old) and I thought it was totally cool. This song blew my mind. I like how the movie is in a fictional world that has aspects from the forties to the eighties, and it all works. Streets of Fire wasn't profitable, and I suspect it's because there was too much really good competition. It also was difficult to market: was it a guy movie or a girl movie? I think it was both. It was also fun for the under-30 crowd (I was well under 30). This movie should have been a hit (IMHO).
All Jim Steinman songs have that "familiar" thing about them. Of course, you were thinking Bonnie Tyler, as Jim wrote some of her biggest hits like "Total Eclipse of the Heart" The progressions and structure of his music is so similar....I love his music, from Meatloaf to Celine Dion, you can always pick out a Jim Steinman song.
Amazing! I wish they still made movies and music like this. Truly one of the most under rated films and songs of all time. The 80's left us this beautiful music, thanks.
She went from an underrated movie like this to an overrated Superhero Movie that just recently came out in theaters this past March 25th. I feel sorry for that woman who's singing because she just lost her alien son who sacrificed his life defeating Doomsday
Jeahav Valentin I have no idea what you're talking about. I stopped paying attention to pop culture around the time _The Simpsons_ used a Ke$ha song instead of their usual theme song.
+ᒍᗩᗰᕮᔕ ᑭᗩᗯᔕOᑎ I'll explain to you what I'm caucasing about here, that actress who plays the singer in this movie is diane lane. She plays Supermans earth mother Martha Kent in Man Of Steel and Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice. If you've seen Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice that already hit theaters this past Friday March 25th on a good Friday Easter you'll know what I'm saying. In Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice her alien kryptonian son aka Superman sacrificed his life fighting and defeating Doomsday while simultaneously Doomsday stabbed Superman with a sharp kryptonian spear while thus far Superman killed Doomsday at the expense of saving humanity once again by being killed. So at the end temporarily Superman died at the end of Batman V Superman Dawn Of Justice, so therefore she lost her alien kryptonian son
Jeahav Valentin Haha, ok-- thanks for explaining. I am pretty sure I am never going to see that movie. A Diane Lane movie I do like is _Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains._ Funny to see the arc her career took.
Music nowadays will never have this kind of effect on me. This song is soulful and uplifting. You have to look to the past for the magic. There is no magic today.
This, Top Gun and Footloose. Greatest sound tracks of the 80s. And all 3 had story lines that were either confusing and needed rewrites, or were just lame.
I love the vocals of Holly Sherwood! She is just as beautiful as Diane Lane, too. It is time she received credit for her contribution to this song. Smiles :))
While I am still not that old, and was only a small child when this movie was released, this song still invokes feelings of loss over a misspent youth. I regret not what did, but what I did not do: Deeds never done, risks never taken, dreams never chased, women never loved. You only have one life to live, but the best time of your life is your youth - your teens and twenties - enjoy it while it lasts, because nothing you ever do or experience afterwards can compare to how it was when you were young.
Too bad she temporarily lost her alien kryptonian son when he sacrificed his life by defeating Doomsday while thus got killed by Doomsday simultaneously
Mr.Rumph I agree Steinman is a great writer just look at Meat Loaf for that little fact , however the production of this song is what in my opinion makes it. I believe Holly Sherwood(the actual voice in case some don't know) said they used something like 72 vocal tracks for this song to create a wall of sound. Absolutely brilliant in my humble opinion.
Jim Steinman packs more lyrics in a short space, sung at an intensity matched by no other song writer. Pure magic. One of Meatloaf's interviews he was asked if he could keep up with the lyrics or told just keep going if he couldn't and pick up what he could. Meat had no problem, It takes a special singer to stand tall and not miss a word in a Steinman song, but when you get that match, you get an outstanding performance. Meatloaf and Holly Sherwood were born for Steinman's brand of music. Is Steinman's style recognizable? Yes. Is it all the same? Not in my mind, but I would be hard pressed to name a Jim Steinman song I don't like.
I remember being under the age of ten and watching this movie over and over....Just a few months ago I watched it with my soon to be 20 year old daughter and she loved it!!!! It never gets old!!!!
I was 17 ... at the '84 hearing this song again and again, ... and again make our 'old cracked' memories hit hard our heart great memories of younger,simpler, and reckless thing happens in our lifes ... so much better time in '80 ... the GREAT AGES ... no shit like smarphones, pad, or pinterest, instagram ... yyeaaahhh ... no shit social media and computers, only good tv and best radio
+Maritzah Siarvanaux That woman who's singing on stage I feel very very bad for her because this past March 25th on a good Friday easter she just lost her kryptonian alien son who sacrificed his life defeating Doomsday just for humanity's sake
crooked degenerate society like America was and is serve propaganda to eastern countries who was without any crimes in those time how Molotov cocktails , hammer in to head , knife in the stomach is the way to be young and free . lol that was 80s. in those times USA have and had something to rob and today there is no more countries to rob without stepping on " Russian foot " so they are so nostalgic about long lost times when they live good on misery of robbed nations . pathetic
I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach And the perfect waves are starting to come His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold And his touch has got the power to stun I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest Enchanted by the edge of a lake His body's flowing in the jewels of light And the earth below him's starting to shake But I don't see any angels in the city I don't hear any holy choirs sing And if I can't get an angel I can still get a boy And a boy'd be the next best thing The next best thing to an angel A boy'd be the next best thing I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes And the thunder of a drum in his ears I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star Looking down upon the realm of the world He's there all alone and dreaming of someone like me I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl I've got a dream when the darkness is over We'll be lying in the rays of the sun But it's only a dream and tonight is for real You'll never know what it means But you'll know how it feels It's gonna be over (over) Before you know it's begun (Before you know it's begun) It's all we really got tonight Stop your crying hold on (tonight) Before you know it it's gone (tonight) Tonight is what it means to be young Tonight is what it means to be young Let the rebels begin Let the fire be started We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted Let the rebels begin Let the fire be started We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted Let the rebels begin (Tonight is what it means to be young) Let the fire be started (Before you know it it's gone) We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted Let the rebels begin Let the fire be started We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come No matter what it seams Tonight is what it means to be young Before you know it it's gone Tonight is what it means to be young Before you know it it's gone I've got a dream when the darkness is over We'll be lying in the rays of the sun But it's only a dream and tonight is for real You'll never know what it means But you'll know how it feels It's gonna be over (over) Before you know it's begun It's all we really got tonight Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight) Before you know it it's gone (tonight) Tonight is what it means to be young Tonight is what it means to be young The things they say And then the things they do Nothin's gonna stop us if our dream is true
Is fair to say that the composer behind this magical song is Jim Steinman, one of the most important and sadly unkown figures of modern Rock. From his pen and imagination full genders of Rock developed after years to come, as Gothic, Symphonic Metal and has been inspiration of may bands that admire his genious!!! Hurray for Jim!!!!
This was the GREATEST video MTV ever did - cycles, back up singers, a young Defoe, Steinman's crescendo after crescendo, and 18 year old Diane Lane in THE red dress. A must.
The evolution- the modern musical... back then. What it Meant to be Young- is what IT WILL BE to those for whom it will Always mean, no matter their age ... to be Young.
this movie and this song and other songs of this movie is my childhood...... great movie incredible soundtrack let me back 30 years ago to my child time.......
yes indeed, after >30yrs and many more coming with horrendus graphics effects..... and still nothing near or even beat this epic musical, entertaining Streets Of Fire! its an Epic..... the sets, costumes, and even dialogues were so 'into' the "streets" I always thought there could be a part 2 or even a remake..... its truly a memorable piece from Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young..............
Call me creepy but I have been watching and listening to this video every night before I go to bed, it inspires me so much & it brings me so much memories, it makes me feel young! Btw there are no words to describe Diane Lane she's just awesome!!!
***** your not creepy i to long for the past best times of our lives, i have a habit of listening to the song alphaville_ forever young official video call me sentimental but we all have a missing of the past ,but your right makes us feel young again .
***** She was gorgeous and Michael Pare was the perfect hunk. I loved this movie in '84 after graduating college, and still watch it today. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's sweet and nostalgic.
I was just a kid when i saw this movie for the first time, but still today it's one of my top 10 movies ever...and the soundtrack is my no.1.... Great video
What a great movie this is. I can't believe it didn't do well at the theaters. Michael Pare deserves to be right up there with the Brad Pitts, Tom Cruise's and so forth.
Is there a more unmistakable songwriter in the world than Jim Steinman? This song (while awesome) is a 99% rewrite of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding On For A Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and about a half-dozen Meat Loaf songs. Want melodrama? Want to flick your Bic in the night? Get you some Jim Steinman. :)
When I first heard it, and Nowwhere Fast, I knew it was Jim's handiwork - unmistakable, as you said - I didn't even need to read the cover. I just knew it had to be Jim.
@Tiddybeth, I couldn't agree more about your statement regarding Jim Steinman. It took me years to learn that the lead singers to this song was Holly Sherwood (Wondergap) and Laurie Sargent (Face to Face). The credit on the soundtrack was listed as "Fire Inc." only. Really? I wanted to know who the singer(s) with the powerful voice(s) on this song was/were... well, I finally did and I wasn't disappointed. These ladies can SANG!
This is an awesome video sound track. You have to see the movie. 1980's... Cocky, a blend of 80's and 50's that makes no sense.. Very violent, too violent for its time. But the music is great. As for me, the movie is great.
+Edwin Rivera One of those movies where you can't ask questions, just let yourself get into it and roll with it and be entertained. Not everyone can do that. My wife would hate it. LOL.
I loved it. I was 20 when I saw it in the movies. Like you say... No questions Just Enjoy it. If your wife hates it, you need another wife. Just kidding.
50's nostalgia was huge in the 80s.. nostalgia goes in 30 year waves. I wouldn't say it "made no sense".. it's what Walter Hill going for. 80's was basically the 50's on endless cocaine.
SAW THIS MOVIE WITH MY WESTVIEW ELEMENTARY FRIENDS WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AT THE SEAVUE THEATRE IN PACIFICA CALIFORNIA. GREAT MEMORIES AND A TRUE CLASSIC TILL THIS VERY DAY !!!
such a unique, wouldn't expect anything less with Walter Hill giving a hand out in the movie. Watched it last night along with Class of 1984. Exactly the reason I love the 80s.
OMC! BEST song of the ENTIRE movie! I seriously bought the entire soundtrack JUST to get this song!
Yeah, me too. I bought it for 3:41 when the song goes to 11.
I bought this album when the film first came out.
Used to play the album & in particular this song on the spare CB channel, enroute home to see my girl - all the way from Dover. So she would know I was on my way. My rig was a little 'different' from the normal set-ups you could buy over here in UK, at the time. LOL
Me to on both LP and CD..................::))
Me too!
This is nice..........2013 HD
Nowhere Fast - Streets of Fire
In my opinion it is one of the best songs ever written in human history.
This is when they knew how to make action movies with great music. A classic by far.
Diane Lane...To this day, beautiful as ever...
I discovered this movie in 1991. It has always been one of my favorite movies. Love the Soundtrack. It is truly a GREAT movie.
When I tried to explain to my kids how smoking hot Superman's mom used to be i showed them this video.
I don't f***g believe I found this song ! I was looking for it for 30 years ! Like a long lost love after having watched the movie. I was 17 back then. Please pardon the language but this is incredible. 80's forever no matter what the cost was ! When cost didn't count.

Haha, ok-- thanks for explaining. I am pretty sure I am never going to see that movie.
A Diane Lane movie I do like is _Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains._ Funny to see the arc her career took.
STREETS OF FIRE and the EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS movies were some of my absolute favourites growing up and I still love them today
One of my top favorites from the 1980's. Great soundtrack, great cast, great movie... I'm surprised that it's become a little bit forgotten.
18-year-old Diane Lane was a gem. Too fucking gorgeous for mere words, man.
Yes, she really is.. My first thought at seeing this video was "Jesus, Holly Sherwood was hot." Come to find out it was a young Diane Lane lol.
Here here.
Query her name her Nate, she hasn't lost it, hardly aged a day!!
True. I was so in love with her. And now, she's Superman's mom.
Nate Broadus love that
Mr Steinman's masterpiece....He should be proud
Music nowadays will never have this kind of effect on me. This song is soulful and uplifting. You have to look to the past for the magic. There is no magic today.
This song should have been a hit. It's my favorite song on the soundtrack.
To me this was the greatest movie soundtrack of all time.
Indeed, but the story .......what a shame!!
This, Top Gun and Footloose. Greatest sound tracks of the 80s. And all 3 had story lines that were either confusing and needed rewrites, or were just lame.
tony montana sorry, but Top Gun will always hold the title of greatest movie soundtrack of all time.
dukeallen2001 how was top guns story line confusing the went to ACS nothing confusing about Top Gun or Streets of Fire cheesy yes but confusing NO
aussiefirie I feel the need the need for speed
One of my favorite movies ever, partly for the soundtrack
I love the vocals of Holly Sherwood! She is just as beautiful as Diane Lane, too. It is time she received credit for her contribution to this song. Smiles :))
one of thegreatist movies of the 80's
this one of the most underrated movies of its time.......................its awesome!
_Ladies and Gentlemen, Fabulous Diane Lane._
+trha2222 was that really her singing? That is impressive--I didn't know she sang, too.
... it isn't her singing. I am just a big fan of her, and my comment above was a play on the title of an earlier film she also lip-synced in.

The magnificent Diane Lane...
Too bad she temporarily lost her alien kryptonian son when he sacrificed his life by defeating Doomsday while thus got killed by Doomsday simultaneously
trha2222 She's Superman's Earth Mom Martha Kent
Music, youth, gangs , cars , motorcycles, beautiful girls , leather jackets and a lot of rock and roll.
this film has it allexcellent !!
Jim Steinman can write man. All of his stuff is not just good. Really really good. Filled with feeling.
jim steinman is awesome. used to compile all his songs into one CD and listened to them on road trips

I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
And the perfect waves are starting to come
His hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
And his touch has got the power to stun
I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
Enchanted by the edge of a lake
His body's flowing in the jewels of light
And the earth below him's starting to shake
But I don't see any angels in the city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
And if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
And a boy'd be the next best thing
The next best thing to an angel
A boy'd be the next best thing
I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
And he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
He's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
And the thunder of a drum in his ears
I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
Looking down upon the realm of the world
He's there all alone and dreaming of someone like me
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl
I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun
(Before you know it's begun)
It's all we really got tonight
Stop your crying hold on (tonight)
Before you know it it's gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young
Let the rebels begin
Let the fire be started
We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
Let the rebels begin
Let the fire be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted
Let the rebels begin (Tonight is what it means to be young)
Let the fire be started (Before you know it it's gone)
We're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
Let the rebels begin
Let the fire be started
We're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted
Say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
No matter what it seams
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it it's gone
Tonight is what it means to be young
Before you know it it's gone
I've got a dream when the darkness is over
We'll be lying in the rays of the sun
But it's only a dream and tonight is for real
You'll never know what it means
But you'll know how it feels
It's gonna be over (over)
Before you know it's begun
It's all we really got tonight
Stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
Before you know it it's gone (tonight)
Tonight is what it means to be young
Tonight is what it means to be young
The things they say
And then the things they do
Nothin's gonna stop us if our dream is true
Jules Love Let the “revels” begin, not rebels
movie Rocks still to this day great music, action, and romance!!!

From his pen and imagination full genders of Rock developed after years to come, as Gothic, Symphonic Metal and has been inspiration of may bands that admire his genious!!! Hurray for Jim!!!!
30 years latter She is still beatiful
She's timeless. She really is so beautiful.
still refreshing no matter how many time listening to it....the movie is cult now.....
É verdade
This song always gives me the goose bumps!! Diane L and Willem Dafoe were young here...I got to get me this on DVD!!
Best soundtrack ever!!! It still gives me goosebumps after all these years, Diane Lane is the most gorgeous actress of our generation!
The ultimate date movie, action music romance and a freaking pick-axe fight.
Excellent point!
Sledgehammers. Definitely sledgehammers. But you are so right! This is drive-thru gold.
31 years later and Diane Lane is still super hot.
+Shakester71 So Right..
+Shakester71 Diane Lane will always be super hot.
+Frank Williamson Even with all the make up for her to look old and grey hair in Man of Steel...Damn she was still hot.
Yes she is!!!
+Shakester71 And she was Barbra Streisand's daughter in law.
after 32 years still got tears in my eyes when listen that song
This was the GREATEST video MTV ever did - cycles, back up singers, a young Defoe, Steinman's crescendo after crescendo, and 18 year old Diane Lane in THE red dress. A must.
Wilem Dafoe, before he got transformed into the Green Goblin
RIP to Dart Hartman too. His "I can dream about you" is also AWESOME!!!
The evolution- the modern musical... back then.
What it Meant to be Young- is what IT WILL BE to those for whom it will Always mean, no matter their age ... to be Young.
Fire Inc. should have been SO much bigger. This is so good and so unbelievably 80s
this movie and this song and other songs of this movie is my childhood...... great movie incredible soundtrack let me back 30 years ago to my child time.......
Um dos melhores filmes de trilhas sonoras da década de 80.
yes indeed, after >30yrs and many more coming with horrendus graphics effects..... and still nothing near or even beat this epic musical, entertaining Streets Of Fire!
its an Epic..... the sets, costumes, and even dialogues were so 'into' the "streets"
I always thought there could be a part 2 or even a remake..... its truly a memorable piece from Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young..............
God, I love this movie, this song and JIM STEINMAN rocks. One of the best glam rock ballad writers of all time in my opinion.
I love this movie and I love this soundtrack and I LOVE THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG since I was 17 years old.
_let the revels begin let the fire be started we’re dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted_
Call me creepy but I have been watching and listening to this video every night before I go to bed, it inspires me so much & it brings me so much memories, it makes me feel young! Btw there are no words to describe Diane Lane she's just awesome!!!
***** and gorgeous
Juan Colón So true bro!
***** your not creepy i to long for the past best times of our lives, i have a habit of listening to the song alphaville_ forever young official video call me sentimental but we all have a missing of the past ,but your right makes us feel young again .
James mullin sr Thanks, I also love that song!
***** She was gorgeous and Michael Pare was the perfect hunk. I loved this movie in '84 after graduating college, and still watch it today. I'm glad I'm not the only one. It's sweet and nostalgic.
GREAT '80's flick and when Rock & Roll was still alive and well.
And an action flick too !.
Diane Lane man... This soundtrack too... Perfect 80's movie.
this song is powerful way get you feeling like you can conquer the world.
My daughter and I loved this movie. She was wild about this song. Nice to see HD and the song and all the scenes. Thanks!!
nice..
Nowhere Fast - Streets of Fire
I loved too
I love this picture. Watch it every time it comes around.
I was just a kid when i saw this movie for the first time, but still today it's one of my top 10 movies ever...and the soundtrack is my no.1.... Great video
What a great movie this is. I can't believe it didn't do well at the theaters. Michael Pare deserves to be right up there with the Brad Pitts, Tom Cruise's and so forth.
I dont know here but in my country I think did well in the teather
Adam's Co. remember .. it was a time before irony >= )
Is there a more unmistakable songwriter in the world than Jim Steinman? This song (while awesome) is a 99% rewrite of Bonnie Tyler's "Holding On For A Hero" and "Total Eclipse of the Heart," and about a half-dozen Meat Loaf songs.
Want melodrama? Want to flick your Bic in the night? Get you some Jim Steinman. :)
Benjamin Duffy don't forget "It's All Coming Back to me Now"
Casey Strapp Yes! Great example. No matter who is singing, it's so obviously Jim. :)
When I first heard it, and Nowwhere Fast, I knew it was Jim's handiwork - unmistakable, as you said - I didn't even need to read the cover. I just knew it had to be Jim.
***** Before you go any further do ya love me?
I would do anything for you....but I won't do that. I mean c'mon. Jasus.
Can't get enough of this.. I have the soundtrack but it's not the same. Watched this movie 3 times this week already
Yes Diana Lane is A Very Talented Woman. Viva Streets of Fire Girl ! We Love Diana. Always
Mrmoldremoval Talented yes but she didn't sing here. Holly Sherwood did.
@Tiddybeth, I couldn't agree more about your statement regarding Jim Steinman. It took me years to learn that the lead singers to this song was Holly Sherwood (Wondergap) and Laurie Sargent (Face to Face). The credit on the soundtrack was listed as "Fire Inc." only. Really? I wanted to know who the singer(s) with the powerful voice(s) on this song was/were... well, I finally did and I wasn't disappointed. These ladies can SANG!
when i saw the movie i saw laurie sargent (face to face) when i bought the soundtrack i did see another name probably holly sherwood.
This is an awesome video sound track. You have to see the movie. 1980's... Cocky, a blend of 80's and 50's that makes no sense.. Very violent, too violent for its time. But the music is great. As for me, the movie is great.
+Edwin Rivera One of those movies where you can't ask questions, just let yourself get into it and roll with it and be entertained. Not everyone can do that. My wife would hate it. LOL.
I loved it. I was 20 when I saw it in the movies. Like you say... No questions Just Enjoy it. If your wife hates it, you need another wife. Just kidding.
50's nostalgia was huge in the 80s.. nostalgia goes in 30 year waves. I wouldn't say it "made no sense".. it's what Walter Hill going for. 80's was basically the 50's on endless cocaine.
THIS SONG IS PURE ROCK'N'ROLL
Way back, I still love her. Rented this on VHS , hooked it up to the stereo, we was in heaven. Little kids jammin in there walkers...
WOW !!!!
wow!! recuerdos ...
Uff ...Como me gustaba esta película cuando era un pibe! ja. pAz!
;)))
que verdad dices... yo al menos era un adolescente que estaba lleno de sueños....saludos
Love The song Tonight is what it means to be young! amazing!
Beautiful! I dont see any angels in the city. Me too. Got the soundtrack just for this song. Great memories.
her voice! incredible

It sure is Diane Lanes voice
ruby , google its not that fucking hard you moron.
Holly Sherwood is the singer
thanks Sannoz, I just found that out , I read the blurb at the top of the page later
the best movie I have this movie in my computer
I was named after this movie :3
?
My name is Tom and my parents named me Tom after Tom Cody from this movie :3
Good very good your name big tribute
lol where did you find it!
Very stylish 80's cinema. Stunning visuals. Powerful... inspiring lyrics. Epic and blissful times.
Favorite movie of the 80's.
Love this song❤️
I adored Jim Steinman's music back in the 1980's. Now I am older , I dont like that he never gave full credit to the singers.
PERFECT!!
SAW THIS MOVIE WITH MY WESTVIEW ELEMENTARY FRIENDS WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT AT THE SEAVUE THEATRE IN PACIFICA CALIFORNIA. GREAT MEMORIES AND A TRUE CLASSIC TILL THIS VERY DAY !!!
such a unique, wouldn't expect anything less with Walter Hill giving a hand out in the movie. Watched it last night along with Class of 1984. Exactly the reason I love the 80s.
