Eddie and the Cruisers the word man bar scene 

I watched this movie a hundred times as a teenager, and still love it today.👌👌🎶🎸🎤🎶

Everybody that creates music should love it as much as Eddie does. Caring is a lost art. Without passion it is just words and tones.

Watched this movie repeatedly as a kid, every time it ran on HBO. Movie and soundtrack still as good today as it was 40 years ago.

I'll always be proud this movie was filmed in my town.

The movie rocks, but the soundtrack is number one. Love the tunes, so good

I will forever love this movie. I grew up watching this movie sitting in my daddy lap as a kid. And because of this movie I learned how to love music and play the saxophone. Thank you for a wonderful movie.

Will always be my all time favorite movie.

You have to give Eddie credit. He was an innovator as well as a guy with heart. Even though he’s pushing the band to get a sound he always thought that everybody should have a voice, especially Joanne. He recognized potential and talent, even in Frank, just a kid off the street they didn’t even know. He was reaching for something original and there’s nothing wrong with that. The band needed a voice and Frank was the man to give it to them. Words and music.

I think this might be my favorite musical movie, certainly one of the best in its genre. Extra nostalgia points from me, from its early '60s Jersey shore vibe. We used to vacation in Wildwood as kids.

It wasn't a box office smash, but it took off after it went to cable TV! One of my favorite movies! I'm also glad I got my wish when radio started playing "On The Dark Side".

Eddie was onto something here...music today has no heart!

Always thought this movie was a combination of Springsteen persona and Morrison poetic mystique. That's about the best way I can describe it.

"Ill always be a wordman better than a birdman." - Jim Morrison

For some reason even thought I didn’t religiously watch this movie as a 8 year old, I always knew about its existence and mythos, the whole Eddie disappearing myth and the song, something about it was so damn cool. I remembered as a kid there was some special feeling knowing this story, kind of a connection to this guy Eddie. It meant something to me and I wasn’t old enough to even know what at the time, when I watch it now it brings back that feeling I had as a 8 year old, and for that I thank this film.

This is an absolute classic🔥🔥🔥

This movie impacted not only my teenaged life, when I dreamed of being a musician and writer, but my whole life since those tender years watching HBO. I wanted to be both Frank and Eddie, words *and* music. I already liked Michael Pare from Greatest American Hero, and here he was showing me what could be around the corner, teaching me about the difference between what I wanted, and how badly it could go. Of course, I didn't know all of that then, But now, 54-years old and looking back on my cruising days, I see the movie almost as a prophecy, albeit a lighthearted one compared to what awaited me between then and now. Above all, it taught me to enjoy the moment and live it to the full. And I did. I have no regrets.

That quote he reads is from Arthur Rimbaud-a poet who figures prominently in this movie.

The movie and music are great.

Dad showed me this when I was like 8 years old circa 2007. One of my favorites. Most classic scene in the whole film

Gran pelicula y gran actuación de Michael Paré. Cuanta pasion le coloca a su rol . Excelente !!!

MY WAY WITH THE CEZEREAN. LMAO

Tom berenger never looked like a kid I bet. He looks the same always not a bad actor either👍

Love this movie!

One of my fav scenes of all time

I love how he calls him kid. Tom Berenger has to be at least 5 years older.

This is an awesome film. It cheered me up during an akward occassion in my life. But I will always recall these great songs by Mr Hearts on Fire John Cafferty and Helen Schneider as the hottie Joann Carlino. Shimmy baby.

Eddie's a "mere" guy (Gabriel Iglesias drunk. Ay you! mere).

Hey kid.... You can stay. See I inserted the cessuar

There’s a few actors in E&TC who became pretty-big celebrities - Ellen Barkin, Joey Pants, Tom Berenger, - but there’s no huge personalities playing these working-class roles (certainly none of them were stars at the time) which is a big deal afa the film’s continued popularity/appeal. You don’t need to suspend your disbelief much due to having a big star play Eddie or any of the supporting roles, like if, say, Meryl Streep had played Joanne, or if Tom Hanks (an up-and-comer at the time) had been cast as Eddie. Michael Pare isn’t perfect in his performance as Eddie, and I’m not an authority on Pare’s career - I can recall liking him in The Philadelphia Experiment and Streets Of Fire, and I remember being pleasantly surprised that he was cast for a few episodes on Sex & The city, - but I can’t think of a better role/performance in his career. He’s pretty effective in E&TC.

I was 4 y/o watching this and my mom reminded any chance that I had a thing for Eddie. I was born 96. Eddie is the hottest man in my life ever since.

haha, "my way with the cesarean"

Yeah it's one you keep coming back to.

What’s not to love about this movie: hot guys,great music, loads of fun.

"See, my way, with the Caesarean."

Why not ask her she's got a brain lmao 😂

Eddie Wilson 🔥🔥

hey kid ,you can stay

Ralphie!

Every time I try to watch this, it stops to buffer as soon as they start singing.

Michael pare’made that movie work out to watch 🤷‍♂️👍

IT AMAZES ME THE PEOPLE I ASK .. HAVE YOU EVER WATC HED EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS .. AND THEY SO NOPE .. NEVER HEARD OF IT .. THIS IS A MOVIE THAT DOES NOT HAVE A GENERATIONAL DIVIDE ..

Best scene

I love the movie and have for years, but do we really need a caesura to think about the meaning of the lyrics "Betty Lou got a new pair of shoes"? Also, I always thought it was a little contrived the way Eddie said Frank's first poetry reading sounded like s*** because only the writers of the dialogue would know Frank was planning a more dramatic reading immediately thereafter.

Can’t believe it’s only one guy in that band know how to play🤣🤣🤣

My way with a ceserean

i love this movie ,but hate how they madeBerenger to look older thamn them rather than a kid...............

pete kimelman would end up leaving the band for a news anchor position on not necessarily the news.

They're musicians. Eddie could have just said, "Let's add a quick stop after the chorus and try having everyone drop out except for the drums during the verses. It'll make the chorus punch harder." No need to get into poetics ;)

Am I the only person who thinks that Eddie (in both movies) is a miserable prick?

Go eddie

IN THE 2ND FILM TOM BERINGER WAS REPLACED AS WORD MAN BY SAL , HOW FUCKED WAS THAAT ?????? !!!!!!!!!!

We some guys from jersey

Ya dumb Guinea … 😂❤

Good Caesura

Kid looks just as old lol

😎

?

I left already. My bad. It's hard talking to everybody. Too many buttons and gears

Igual o filme La Bamba

Eddie was a prep, it does not fit the music at all.

pore qualaty

Sounds like shit right? 😂

It's annoying to know he's lip syncing. Ruins the entire movie.

Eddie is such a handsome man. I can't help it but drool. Dreamy guy ^^ Love the movie.
