Movies of Your Youth

For me it had to be Top Gun, the bit where Tom Cruise was tearing along on his bike beneath the fighter plane, reminded me a lot of myself, I was a proper speed freak back then, I was so quick on my 125 that the lads on the bigger bikes couldn't get near me, oh and I suppose I was a bit suicidal as well. I once went from Southport to Billinge, a distance of about 25 miles in around 15 minutes, now that was some going, ahh the good old days before speed camera's.

 

Great sound track including Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins

 

I haven't seen this in a long time, I think maybe it's time to rewatch it.

 

I didn't have your normal taste in movies as a kid

 

I'm older than lots of folks on here. I was only in 5th or 6th grade when this was released and I loved it!

 

Very progressive for it's time and still relevant today I think. Just watched it tonight with my daughter, she loved it!

 

Resurrecting another one of my old threads, lol

 

One flick which shaped me forever was Rebel Without A Cause starring James Dean and my all-time fav actress Natalie Wood . The best scene has gotta be when Natalie flags the boys in the fatal chicken race .....a scene that tells the story of an entire generation

 

This one is so cringy it's funny

 

Holy shiz- The Heavenly Kid! Damn it’s been ages since I’ve seen that.

 

Who remembers The Illustrated Man (based on Bradbury's novel) starring Rod Steiger ?

 

I’m going to check that out.

 

You'll love it. Unfortunately, the full movie cannot be found on YT.

 

If I type in duckduck go search engine the name of a movie or tv show. “Stream name of it here “ 90% of the time it comes up. A lot of times in Daily Motion. I know it’s on YouTube hidden somewhere too probably. I can’t stand when I want to watch summit and I can’t.
