The Heavenly Kid-1985

[@francesrea5935]

I am 71, and this movie reminds me of a guy I went with when I was19, same pants, jacket, and attitude, he was 20 and was killed in a motorcycle accident. He was a Long Island nomad and I always wished he would have come back like Bobby did. I still cry when I watch this.

I used to watch this movie all the time with my dad back in the 80's. It brings back a lot of memories. My father passed away in 2016 so every time I see this it feels like it brings me closer to him. I never used to cry to this movie until now. It's sad that you never realize what you truly have until it's gone. Not only does this film bring back those memories but it's also one I would recommend to anyone who has lost someone they loved. I found myself crying again while watching this, but the difference this time was that I had a smile on my face.

I'm always amazed at how many people haven't heard of this film whenever I talk about 80s movies. For me, this is up there with Weird Science, Ferris Bueller, Naked Gun and Police Academy! I watched this on a grainy VHS countless times as a kid and memorized every scene, it's such a warm and fun movie with a very important message about the importance of being yourself and accepting others for who they are. The scene at the very end with Bobby going up the escalator, pondering everything that has happened, then gradually smiling as he approaches Heaven still makes me choke up a little! To this day, whenever someone asks me if a task is possible, I'm sure to tell them.... "I got it covered!" 😃

@Anna Lisa Vajda It's just another word for a stupid or incompetent person. The funny thing is, Bobby originally uses the term "spazola" which is actually a type of hair brush 😅

It sadly competed with movies that would go on to spawn juggernaut franchises in the film industry. Movies like Back to the Future and Terminator were in much of the spotlight at the time. As a result, this movie is a hidden gem now.

Bobby died in 1968 when his g/f was about 2 or 3 month pregnant... that makes Lenny about 16 or 17 in 1984-85. The cars used in the races are over 10 years old to-be-junked cars.

It was one of the best eras for music and movies. TCM has expanded its library to include classic films from the eighties. We got: The Breakfast Club, The Lost Boys, The Princess Bride, Splash, Big, Back to the Future, The Terminator, Into the Night, Against All Odds, Something Wild, Cat People, Fright Night, An American Werewolf in London, Body Heat, Body Double, and more. Concert tickets were affordable, and we camped out at record stores for the good tickets. Our President sucked though. The wealthy rarely trickle their money down. I would only go back for my looks at that age, and to change my university major.

[@wesleysimon955]

The way Emily explained how she got with Joe and married him she just wanted Bobby to understand and approve her decision on what she made and the situation she was in. You can tell she loved him and really wanted him to understand that it would of been him that she rather had been with if he hadn't died. Real good ass movie man

[@juanitamorgan5475]

This movie is similar to the movie called ghost starring Patrick swayze and Demi Moore the only difference is that his character was murdered and Bobby died in a freak accident

[@SuziQ.]

@@juanitamorgan5475, It’s close to “Eddie and the Cruisers,” which was released in 1983, and had a sequel.

@1:12:33 when Bobby tells Emily "I love you. I always have and I always will". If that doesn't bring a tear to your eye then you aren't human. She gasped and had tears in her eyes when he said that. Great acting on both of their parts.

[@NewYorkS4U]

This movie has music that fits its 80s look. I like to think Jane Kaczmarek's portrayal in this can be described as the exact opposite of what she was like on Malcolm. :)

[@snozzlehead92]

Only flaw was that they kept playing heavy 80's synth electronic music during early 60's scenes at the train station. They should have saved the synth for the 80's scenes and had something more era-appropriate for the 60's.

1) Be White! 2) Be Cool! 3) Don't Simp! 4) The girl you want is already here! 5) You see the entire picture, not what is in front of you 6) Self Sacrifice for the Greater Good Movies back in 1985 were moral, genuinely good-hearted fun! Except for one two non-white roles that were very minor, there were an entire cast of White people who did an incredible job! They blended the 50's to the 80's with the greatest style!

I haven't seen this since 1985 when I was 16 myself! I remember this as being quite real-life, with actual teens, in a High School just like mine. It is so authentic to the time, if you want to know what the 80s were like for a teen this is very close! Everything from the clothes, the interiors, the restaurants, it's like a time machine for me! I just love a forgotten cute small movie like this, takes me back! Richard Mulligan was a lot like my dad, same age too, they are both "uptown" now.

[@joeyclemenza7339]

My only deal is that if Lenny is Bobby's son... that would've meant that Sharon was pregnant with him in the late 60's - during the summer of love, the hippies, Vietnam, Woodstock, etc. Yet, in the beginning of the movie they make it seem like they're all in the early 60's, late 50's. This is 1985 and Bobby is AT LEAST 18 years old. Therefore if Sharon was really pregnant with him during the pompadour and "greaser" age of 1961, Bobby would've been like 24 or 23 years old. Didn't need this swerve, but whatever.. still such a great movie.
