Saw this movie approximately 15 times in the movie theatre back when it was released in '85. Was a senior in high school at that time. This movie was like therapy.

[@eduardomejiavids2412]

Wow 15 you must've loved it a lot ,I personally think it's a classic

[@valentino3191]

Absolutely iconic film representing our generation.

[@jasminejohnston6393]

I only recently watched it for the first time and I thought it was dumb

[@oscardelgado-major805]

@@jasminejohnston6393In what way? Even if you don’t resonate closely with any of the characters in particular (I don’t) you can surely appreciate the depth of their troubles and them opening up to complete strangers and realising they’re not so different from one another, it’s powerful stuff

[@nobleH2O]

I’m an 05’ kid but this movie blew me away…no movies I grew up around or nowadays will never compete. I could watch it over and over again, very well done.

[@scwatchyteehee]

ME TOO! 05kid too

[@LoDDEMOCIDE]

I'm an 86 kid but didn't fully see this film until last week. I totally agree.

[@david2k86]

Ali Chaudhry The 12” Extended Version is included on “Themes - Volume 2: August 82-April 85” which is similar to the movie version but not quite the same. His has a similar drum intro as this but it’s lacking the bass and the guitar parts are different. I wonder if an actual “Movie” version of the song is available?

[@Sonic_X_Freddy_Lover001]

So do I.

[@davidrubio9753]

Me too

[@dillonkinder9296]

Every time I hear this song on the radio I always think of this movie

[@MegaCrocosaurus92]

I just love this intro for the ass-kicking variation of this classic song.

[@toddfoster8705]

"AND THESE CHILDREN THAT YOU SPIT ON...AS THEY TRY TO CHANGE THEIR WORLDS... ARE IMMUNE TO YOUR CONSULTATIONS, THEY'RE QUITE AWARE OF WHAT THEY'RE GOING THROUGH..." David Bowie. Changes.

[@sha11235]

I didn't know what this was from, but I knew who Bowie was because at the time he had had some hit songs out.

[@tylerwedell3750]

Ally sheedy found that quote in a book and showed it to Hughes and he used it

[@beatlefan713]

Tyler Wedell it comes from Bowie’s song Changes

[@dns21st]

Born in 87.. Thank god. Had the best 90s lifetime ever.

[@mazzy846]

dns21st I second that!!!!

[@Choices2aa]

The 80s and 90s were the best of times for movies, music, TV, going to mall and hanging out and Blockbuster, Tower Records, Sam Goody, Kemp Mill Records, FYE, Pizza Places, And Video Games, existed back then and life was different compared to now and High School was just High School and now everything is shit! I really hate the new generation of kids now because they dont' know anything and everything is done on computer! Every generation becomes smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker SCARY TIMES WE LIVE IN NOW! EVERYTHING IS SHIT!

Anyone know why this version is a little different. This is the only version I know that says “look my way but never love me” every other version doesn’t have the word “but” in it.

[@reap_25]

My only explination is that the version featured in this title sequence is some kind of alternative take or early demo of the song. And only exists on this movie at least publicly.
