I was 12 years old when I saw STREETS OF FIRE at the theater...I was in love with Ellen Aim from the first moment she came out on screen. 51 years old and still watch this movie every saturday night with my wife and kids!!
Nobody, and I mean nobody. Did it like Jim Steinman. You can pick out all the tropes, the chord progressions, the massive drum rolls, the chorus vocals, and everything else, but it doesn't make a damn of difference. He was the Verdi of Rock and Roll. And underneath it all were the lyrics. Revelling in paradox and contradiction, and in the process doing what real poetry does, and articulating feelings we can't put into words until someone does and we recognise them.
Great movie. Young up and coming actors, plus songs from the legendary Jim Steinman. RIP I knew right away this was Jim Steinman before reading the credits.
As someone born in 1990 who grew up watching Eddie & the Cruisers, The Warriors, the Outsiders, and everything else... coming across this just last year having known nothing about was an absolute delight, and yes as a 30 year old who watched it for the first time... it still holds up, it has an amazing feel, a unique concept, cast, and execution.. and a solidified place both in the story of america, as well as my own.
Stumble across this movie about 25 years ago up there with the greatest movies made it has everything storyline actor sets and the music just brings it all together I could watch it 100 times and never get sick of it
Many thanks. I was heckled by the director when it came out during my interview with Harrison Ford. I met Walter Hill when he got involved with "Alien" and THIS film helped create the PG-13 rating. I love this unique movie.
Same here, but I was a young lady, a year out of high school. I talked my dad into seeing this as a double feature with Star Trek 3. This was by FAR the better movie! Fine acting, great actors, amazing sets, and awesome music! I never understood why this movie wasn’t more popular!! And yeah, I’m still young at heart and probably will be for the rest of my life! ✌🏼💖🤘🏼

I watched that movie 32 years ago, I was 14 years old, and still I love it specially this song, a lot of remembrances from my younger years...very good job thanks for sharing👍👍
Few knew what it was, beyond being "a rock and roll fable" and thought it was just a run of the mill action film. Some that saw it were confused because it's set in an imaginary utopia that combined the biker film and a rock musical with the western. Too bad.
@@SirSmoldhamI saw it in the movie theater and I loved it! As soon as I could buy it, I bought it. I never get tired of it and I watch it with everyone I can talk into watching it. They are all amazed that they’ve never heard of it before. I spread the wonder of this film whenever I can! ✌🏼💖🤘🏼
just discovered that Jim Steinman wrote an alternate version from Nowhere Fast for Meat Loaf 😅 was weird cause i listened to the two songs one after the other and had to compare the lyrics. Both songs was written and performed in 1984 .. yeah, now i'm at point 😅 great songs, both!
Diane lane sure looks a lot like Amanda "Mandy" Moore in this (Mandy Moore born in 1984, when this movie was released) Also Deborah Van Valkenburgh who was Reeva in this looks a lot like actress Penny Peyser who was in a 1982 mini series called the blue and the grey. She was Emma geyser.
