How the f have I never heard of this movie before

One of the most captivating films I have ever watched. Sadly, it also seems to be one of the least known and least watched film too. Great story line, great acting, great music... I am 74 years old and this movie rates somewhere up among the my all time top 5!

Saw this in the theater and loved it all! Disappointed that the Feelies were not on the soundtrack tho.

Love this film for many reasons. The Feelies appearance is one of the reasons. The Bowie cover is awesome for it's quirkiness. After that song the Feelies start another song - one of their's with a cool build that starts to change the mood. Right on cue, Ray Liotta steps into this film and changes the whole tone. Thank you Mr. Demme for that great film work. Feelies rule...!!

I'd love to see Jeff Daniels and Jenna Ortega do a dance-off in character.

THE BOY WITH THE PERPETUAL NERVOUSNESS

Is that su at the bar?

2:52 ... The Love FART!! He literally squeezed the gas out of her. HaHaHaHa.

this is a film noir !

Bill Million is Socrates.

Such an underrated film

Demme really had the sense to recognize that The Feelies were an almost impossibly amazing timestamp for the era but also that they could conceivably portray the kind of group that would be performing at a high school reunion. One of the most cinematically successful partnerships in film.

Very cool to my old ass ears! Lol

Jeff Daniels got some moves, huh?

Awesome

nloveeeeeeeeee this movie an likeeeeeeeeee of the best scenes of all times combining music and acting, from a movie

I wish this performance was on cd, or iTunes, or something like that.

Amazing movie, scene and BAND!!!!

La-ame....

Liotta's entrance and subsequent impact on this movie is Brandoesque. His character literally turns the tide of this amazing film. I mean, the temperature literally changes! The entire story arc is immediately altered and the film winds up in a VERY different place, than it started. Demme was a master, and this is truly one of the most original and unpredictable films in cinematic history. Another hilarious point is the cameos, and background characters. The guy on the motorycle with the dog, etc. Not one but two...indie cinema "John" cameos...Sayles and Waters. GREAT performances from Griffiths and Daniels. A true must-see!

Ray Liotta was so very pretty in this film, which premiered 35 years ago.

Ray Liotta made the movie

Awesome film... also love me some Married to the Mob. Demme loved music just like John Hughes did.

Folgorante!!!

One of the best hidden gems of a movie!

Su Tissue was in this movie too!

I thought this would catapult The Feelies into superstardom, well...

Ok. What's the number they start playing around 2:45 when they turn the lights down?

0:08 if she offered me a drink in New York, I'd be on the next plane over. Shame about the coronavirus stopping us going anywhere right now. lol THAT will date this comment in time.

Duderomatic.

Love this! Nutso movie too!

Jeff Daniels = so adorable!! Love this movie so much!!

I love The Feelies, definitely one of the best bands in many a year. On my top ten list of all time favorite bands. I saw this film so long ago, that I had no idea Jonathan Demme had one of my favorite bands playing live in it, must be before I even knew who they were. Although I think it was in '86 was when I discovered their Twin/Tone recordings. Yeah, Jonathan Demme always had that great taste in music. Thanks for posting this and making me aware of this rare live appearance of The Feelies. I saw them live at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle in 1989 as the opening act for Lou Reed. What a show that was!!

video con migliaia di like per stupidate e poi vedi video come questi che ne meritano un milione che non vengono neanche considerati bravo 👏🏻 bravissimo continua cosi !!!!

DABZ

Charlie trying to moonwalk never gets old. I think he really did feel In his heart that he could dance lol , always a funny scene.

Loveless Love: perfect at this moment. Wow. I’m stupid.

Can we all say "Peavey endorsement"?

How much this radio ? Thanks

intro is their great Crazy Rhythms!!!!!

Ray Liotta, one scary SOB. His introduction in Something Wild is one of the greatest.

where's the scene of Charlie getting beat up in the motel room??

Clapping on 1 3 drives me nuts.

Su Tissue from the Suburban Lawns is in this scene. She plays the real quiet wife of the straight-laced classmate, whom they talk to here.

Demme was so hip the whole time

RIP Jonathan Demme

One of the best scenes of all times combining music and acting, from a movie that is an absolute masterpiece. Who else could have invited "The Feelies" to play "Fame" on it? Jonathan Demme!! He will never be forgotten.

dope cover, sweet

she's got the least toned body in the history of hollywood.

Technically speaking that was Yung Wu playing "Fame," since it was Feelies percussionist Dave Weckerman doing the singing, that band name being the one they performed under when playing Weckerman's original songs, plus covers.
