I agree. I will never get tired of watching this movie. I love it so much. Amazing Soundtrack. Amazing all around. Love the filming locations too. Love the cast. Love the story.

[@rolfbernserke4735]

Terry Davis wrote the novel the movie was based upon. He is from Spokane and wrestled in high school. The novel is a little different in that Louden and Shute know each other and have more amicable interactions in the book compared to the movie. It’s a good and quick read.

[@CarguyEd5150]

I was at the end of my senior year in HS in 1985 when this film came out and it was one of those moments I remember being 18 and a life ahead of me. I'm 55 now and life has thrown me quite a few curve balls and taken me down paths I never thought possible. To be 18 again in 1985., be young, strong, and naive, and not realize how life was going to change so quickly. Great film from 1985!

"@Car Guy Ed" I'm over 50 yrs old. The music. The team at the end. This never gets old. Yet I watch my 15 yr old with his friends and team - yea it all comes flooding back for me as well. believe it or not - with iphones and TikTok, the scenes with the team and how they interact.. Its all the same just a different era. I watch my boy and his team mates and its still the same! I agree this should be on more than some of the other 80's teen movies. This one is timeless

The best movie of my generation. Today's kids wouldn't understand the beauty of hanging with your friends Watchung Friday Night Videos, walking downtown to the movie theater, high school dances, and the simplicity that was the 80s. I miss it. One thing I would change is this. I would date my friend Colleen all through High School and never let her go. She passed in 2022. She knows how much I love her and appreciated her. Yeap, that's what I would change.

I'll never understand why they never play this movie on the cable channels --- they always play "Ferris Bueller" or "Breakfast Club" instead --- it was a great 80's movie about a teen believing in himself and aspiring to greater things in life --- and who can deny Linda Fiorentino as a total babe!

[@justinbryson352]

very true I wonder the same.

[@TheRealOwen1230]

Unfortunately it’s because it’s about wrestling which is not very mainstream

[@rhey81]

Idk, probably because Modine's character kinda attempts to force himself on the female lead in the film which could have been perceived as attempted rape.. Forget what happened later between them. It didn't send a good message. Winning that match be damned..

[@ralphfurley123]

Linda Fiorentino is absolutely beautiful! ☮️🖖🏽

[@rob57ert]

- Gotcha?

[@Brucewayne_55]

Watched this before regionals to motivate me. I fell in love with the sport of wrestling. Started out my freshman year unathletic with a learning disability. I didn’t win a match that year but I kept pushing and fighting. My sophomore year I won two matches at the end of the year. My junior year i improved significantly and won 14 matches but I fell short at regionals to make state. My senior year I kept pushing and kept improving. I went to regionals and pinned the kid I needed to make it. It was a feeling I’ll never forget. Of course I got my butt kicked at State but I could have cared less. I was an underdog my whole life and all I knew was hard work and having it harder than most. I’m grateful for wrestling.

I think a lot about those 6 minutes with Shute, and the time I spent with Carla that season. Kuch had it right, it was a Vision Quest. But all I ever settled for is, "We are born to live, and then we die". We gotta do it alone, each in his own way. I guess thats why we gotta love those people that deserve it like there's no tomorrow. Because when you get right down to it, there isnt.

I went to high school with Matthew Modine in a small beach town in southern CA. He's a really nice guy. He was in drama, and I remember he played George, and my best friend Cheri played Emily in Our Town, and they did such a good job that I actually cried at the end.

[@Randsurfer]

Btw. Louden gets a point for an escape. Two points for a take down. And then 2-3 more for "near fall". We used to call them "back points". That gives him 5-6 points down the stretch. He didn't need a pin to win.

[@bookmark692]

Maybe it's like boxing, and the score keepers saw it differently? At the very end, scoreboard still showed 13-9. Maybe Shoot will enter the Royal Rumble?!?!

[@garydurso8475]

You want the pin though … it’s 6 team points as opposed to 3 or 4

[@syvajarvi2289]

@@bookmark692ref makes the point calls on the mat. I was in a match in ‘88 that I thought I had lost by 2 points at the end of regulation. Before a winner is declared the ref checks with the cards and corrects accordingly if it’s a points win. In my case I had a 1 point escape and two point takedown in the final seconds to get the point win and the ref adjusted before declaring the winner, it was my first tournament championship of the season and it was against the 1st seed and I was 9th seed at the start.

[@norobin]

The ref was the head coach of mead hs in Spokane during that time. The wrestler Louden wrestles from Columbia high was my teammate Fred Miles, a state champion from 76’ I knew and hung out with people in that movie. It has a lot of meaning for me.
