@mustwinder You know when you mentioned Walken and Deer Hunter - I couldn't help to notice that both of these stories take place in Pennsylvania. (If I'm not mistaken).
A very moving movie from the 80's, Iv'e watched it so many times, one of the best opening scenes ever. Great acting and a classic. Thanks for posting.
@4hmarcie live to tell was written for this movie, and Madonna was definitely the right choice to do the vocals .. I'm pretty sure that live to tell was nominated for an award.
@mustwinder: it wasn't Big Bruce that broke out, it was Norman the youngest of the three Johnston brothers that had the gang. August 1999 he broke out for 19 days, August 15,1999 Norman was aired on America's most wanted
Molasses90, you rock for uploading this! So many great actors in one movie, especially Walken & Penn! And for anyone interested in the true story this movie is based on, look up the Johnston Gang or Bruce Johnston Sr.
i am so glad that some one decided to down load this awesome movie because it is so hard to find on dvd.sean penn is so under rated as an actor now days.check out "milk" and "i am sam" two great films.
I like to watch this movie on fall. Probably because I watched it the first time when it was fall. It's a great move, and the songs in the movie are great too.
@mustwinder He did bust out. From what I could find about the case, It was really a general piece of work. It was quite a large gang, too. Jr went on his own and formed something called the "Kiddie Gang". One reason for the downfall. I don't recall finding out what happened to him.
All about the Bruce Johnston Gang in E. Pennsylvania-Delaware. Heavy-equipment thieves, among a lot of other things. The real story is a lot wilder and way more involved than the movie. Bruce Sr really did try to kill his son, and did kill the girlfriend.
By far one of the most underrated movies. These performances were worthy of Oscar nominations. The soundtrack is haunting and riveting, as is Madonna's Song "Live to Tell", which is my favorite of hers. Though this movie has a slow pace to it compared with those of today, I never get bored watching it, due to its powerful human element.
@4hmarcie No joke. Very underrated movie. The fact that it's based on a true story, and not loosely based like the crap they give you today, makes it have more of an impact too.
@jamesellis33 yes when there was so much heart and emotion put into movies instead of endless CGI, pointless, meaningless visuals and no character in the dialouge
I ordered the dvd last year after I watched it on youtube. Glad you were able to post it again. LOVE this movie, Sean Penn and Christopher Walken award winning performance!!! "Apartment, car, food,clothes alll that!!! Come back to me, daddy,daddy give me something." Classic line and love the delivery!!!!! lol Blessings ppl!
I bought the opening song from itunes today !! Its obviously Madonna but the guy who did this version is called Doug Astrop !! Great movie and a classic soundtrack !!
I am an intense avid 80's Film Fanatic...Yet I Never seen this....I know I will love the movie for two MAJOR REASONS...1-The Madonna song "Live To Tell", which is my favorite song by her yet....And 2-The very beginning as the camera slowly paces around Mary Stuart Mastersons's face while Sean Penn is watching Her through his car window...I Love You for uploading...Grade A Kudos To You...<3
@lcharm17 Plus a fine 80s cast. Stephen Geoffreys, Crispen Glover, Keifer Sutherland, Chris Penn. All very young at the time and went on to become great actors. Except Geoffreys, he became gay porn start..
Dude, you rock....I was literally in the process of uploading this (after youtube deleted it) but my copy was from VHS.....not as good quality.....I stopped uploading when I saw yours.....yours looks like DVD. This is one of my favorite movies. Thanks man.
@beachboy51971 I recorded this from Comcast cable (On-Demand) last month I think, and its always been one of my all-time favorite movies from the 80's...I love this film! :) Oh btw, I'm a girl..lol
Best opening to a movie ever, & Mary Stuart Masterson is always mesmerising :-)
