  • saw this movie around 1986 -i think- and it still bring tears to my eye. such a sad movie.

  • man i remember this movie growing up this shit brought tears to my eyes im so glad i found this song 70s baby all the way

  • I was a Gary..

  • @TheBlackBronson yeah bro, so was i. the things we do for love...

  • There wa something better for Gary.

  • He was no fool, he took a chance on love and lost out. Hate to say this but this movie actually brings me to tears.

  • awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

    this got me into tears T^T

  • One of the best movies of the early 1980's as well as soundtracks. James Ingram was a Fantastic ballot singer.

    Chad, 42

    Louisiana

  • Thats Live...

  • aaaah what a common reality, beauty prevails.

  • Es una de las "PELIS" que ADORO, debo admitir que me identifiqué con el muchado que hace de, podríamos decir, 'perdedor'; y que sufre el chasco de las circunstancias adversas por la chica que ama. Yo estaba en esos momentos de intenso despertar sexual en que me moría y añoraba por una chica. En fin ES 'MI' PELÍ....... IT'S A BEAUTIFUL AND NICE MOVIE! GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!

  • For me, the movie is so much more powerful because I saw it at the age of 9. Also, sad endings are rare in movies then and now. Finally, the soundtrack's ballads are timeless.

  • Excellent video . . . You basically cut everything that mattered from this memorable movie and condensed all of the points into 6 minutes . . . Well done. My comment is that it was a very realistic story, and that's why we all remember it.

  • He pawned all his stuff and got advances on his paycheck to pay for her abortion and to buy her a locket for her birthday...only to find her in the arms of they guy that F'ked her over from the get go gate. A lot of guys did not show it at the movies but...fellas was hurt when the movie ended. I think that everyone has loved someone more than they loved theirself and lost out.

  • he was fool, but i understand how love can take u to another world i am older now but no smarter , this happened to when i came back from VIETNAM

  • the best love story movie ever made..... i really love this movie..... great story... great soundtrack ever.... hope there's a remake of this movie.

  • You can see Karen cry at 4:50 I guess she realized Gary truly loved her but you know women, they always fall for the A**hole. By the way I'm Gary.

  • since I saw this movie I hate womans ..

  • I know his pain! 3 x it has happend

  • what song is it?its great

  • Wtf she just pissed me off!!

  • I like the fact that they didn't go with the standard happy ending with this one--makes it so much more powerful. I mean after all these years, we all remember every detail of that end moment--pretty good for an 80's teen comedy.

  • It would've been fine if she didn't kiss him back after Gary told her he loved her. She should've just said 'look, I'm not interested, let's just stay friends'. By kissing him back and then going straight back to that dickhead, she did one of the bitchiest moves in cinema history. That slut got what she deserved looking at her now. Yikes. And yes I know she was playing a character :P

  • Now, that folks is what really happens in real life.

  • Hey this video is great.... I can't stand it anymore !! I need hopelessly another ending right now :(:(

  • This is such a bad ending....I've been crying my eyes out...That stupid bitch,learned nothing.I wish every guy would be like Gary.

  • Lastに泣けた。この曲が忘れられない!

  • This move is the only true live teenage move every made. The guy gets dumped in the end like most guys have been at one time or another.

  • more like "Great American Whore"

  • O MANGINA SE FODEU!!! MERDALHER SO GOSTA DE CAFAJESTE DESTACADO. VAUM SE FODER VADIAS

  • Excellent job on the video and the sound was perfect too. Thank you for posting this. Brought back memories of high school days when I saw this movie in the theater. The movie goes through the full range of emotion. From being hilariously funny to serious to heartbreaking. The really good movies do this. Think Titanic.

  • what a sad love movie story ='(

  • I love this movie. I own it. Thank you for this video..I loved it..I feel so bad for Gary..All he went through to help her and what happens? she goes back to the dude who got her pregnant and left her. It's sad but sometimes that happens in real life.

  • fuck her, she looks like bitch in this movie.. pitty him :( i hope i can have such that nice guy in my life .. dont she know that is so difficult to get such of nice guy like him?!

  • adorei este filme mais ela foi muito sacana com ele.

  • why did she do that? :( He really loved her...

  • THAT FUCKING BITCH ASS FRIEND!!! i hope to god he leaves her again for another chick

  • favorite movie

  • The official soundtrack and song in the movie is performed by Quincy Jones not James Ingram.

  • @tzone7 you are obviously an uninformed idiot who should research before they speak, The fact is that it is James Ingram performing the song on Quincy Jones Album and furthermore won a Grammy for the song as well!

  • @Ziggysteamboat , you obviously are overreacting and must be a child. My statement is still true. The movie credits list this song perfomed by Quincy Jones. No mention of James Ingram. However, the official soundtrack album does not include Just Once. There was no grammy awarded for this song in 1981. James won Best R + B Performance for One Hundred Ways. Jones won 2 grammys for the album. This song is written by Barry Mann & Cynthia Weil. However, Quincy Jones has rights to the song.

  • Nice guys finish last, girls like the bad boys but then always whine cuz they assholes.

  • Very well done! I love this movie and you just saved me two hours with this video. Nice work!

  • this was my favourite teen movie growing up!! Awesome!! memories really are forever!!! thank you for posting this!!!

  • OH my god! Phenomenal tribute! Thank you!

  • I would have runned them over with that pink station wagon...

  • Fellas,let this b a lesson to u,nice guys finish last...unless they settle for the not so hot chick,that will truly luv them lol,sucks either way..

  • It's garry foult ,you can't mess with destiny

  • bitchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Gary didn't choose his live...He was, perhaps, a push over because of his situation/circumstance. Cheers to you for getting the one you love with children...You won!!! Definately, But there are those that haven't...That's the essence of this vid. ...But we want and need more of you to be happy with there lives.

  • great movie. Gary was such a push over and had no balls to fight for what was rightfully his .I've been there and done that and in the end of my movie ,I got the the girl and married her and have a beautiful little girl and another on the way..If you want to make your own movie in life do it just like on the movie (Just Friends) you have balls and just be just like f***ing Chris Brander

  • i felt bad 4 Gary,but the bottom line is ,he was just too fuckin nice! I wont say women gravitate towards assholes maybe when every1s young,but as u come of age most normal thinkn women wants a guy with a balanced attitude..Lol my wife use to say i was a nice guy with asshole tendecies..Basically no 1 wants a pushover and that unfortunatly for Gary was his whole m.o.

  • @leedafreak1 ...U must understand that what appears to be a push-over...is simply the deck of cards he was given...But you have a point with balanced attitue...and asshole tendecies..This is still in 2011 a highly debatable topic. Thanks for watching my vid!

  • @uoyebutbackwords i couldn't agree more,ure absolutely right about the deck of cards we are given.sometimes the bottom line is we are what we are,simple as that..and yes it is stil debatable because you have some women that will say a guy like Gary is what they need,but they often show that they would rather a guy like Rick..ask me how i know,i can speak from both sides of the spectrum..

  • @leedafreak1 ..It is clear that you are a wise man! Thanks again, my friend.

  • 80's, a decade where time seemed to always stood still and lasting memories that will be here even long after were gone. Good work on helping preserve the memories of teenage life.

  • One of the best movies I've ever seen. This brought back so many fond memories. Thanks for sharing.

  • Saw this when it 1st came out in the theatre...stunned silence at the brutal ending.

    Was 17 at the time...been there...but has hard and difficult those teen angst feelings are..do anyone of you regret you got the chance to experience both the pleasure and pain of teen romance? I bet many of you sometimes miss those powerful Raw emotions that you experienced. That was living! I know if I had the chance to go back and live it again even without being able to change anything,I would do it .

  • @usrt46 same here would live it all all over again do not have no regrets even those painful memories were good lessons in life

  • Good...good...good....

  • hate this ending man that hurt.

  • The truth is, were put on this earth to do many things....and the most important one is to find love. It's not easy, in fact it seems impossible at times....which is why we always hope for the fairy tale love, which rarely happens.....we've all been hurt, we have all healed....but our heart is much more vulnerable in the beginning, and that stays with us for life......and this music and these videos, keep that part of us holding on...

  • i love movie they dont make movies like this anymore

  • lindo video!!!! adorei lembrei de minha infancia hoje tenho 33 anos......nunca esquecerei da carinha linda dessa safada sem vergonha o cara ajuda ela e ainda toma um chifre desses!!!!!!!!!!!!vai se fuder. adorei o video! parabens!!!!!!!!!

  • My siblings and I watched this movie when we were young and we all hated that girl for what she put Gary through...still mad about it to this day!!

  • I love this movie.

  • He went through hell to gather up the money for her abortion. For a pregnancy he didn't cause and she went back to that asshole? What a cunt. By the way, the actor who got her pregnant is gay in real life.

  • Nice video and the music sounds sweet

  • helps him pick up the pieces. They fall madly in love, and are married. Despite how heartwrenching life can be as a teenager, things have a way of working out for the better.

  • When I saw this movie a few years ago, it really hit home. Not just because of the sad ending, but because it hit home to so many teenage guys. You fall head over heels for the girl of your dreams, spend hours on the phone with her, lend a shoulder to cry on, and only to watch her walk away with the 'bad boy' in the very end. If it makes you feel better, you can imagine that later on Rick once again screws Karen over and they finally split, and the heartbroken Gary meets a wonderful girl who

  • LOVE THOSE 80s MOVIES.....

  • This was such a great 80's teen movie--too bad it was so overshadowed by Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This also had one of the best soundtracks ever in a movie. Whenever I hear U2's I Will Follow, I always think of that scene where he's selling his stuff. 1982 ruled.

  • OMG.. i remember this movie... that was so fuckin low what she did to him..Grrrr!!.. anyone remember her from Amityville Possession??? she screwed her brother in it.. what a WHORE!!!..lol.. j/k but she's a great actress..

  • omg.. i remember this movie.. that bitch was lowdown..that's the chik played in amityville the possesion.. that bitch even fucked her brother..WHORE!!!..lol..j/k..h­aha

  • This movie was in 80's I feel sorry for that geek hehehe! He took care of her when her bf dumped her coz she was pregnant. Then after the geek took care of her and back to her feet, she went back to her BF. The geek was the Last American Virgin.

  • That was awesome! It brought back great memories, so thanks for putting it together. I just can't believe ten people gave this video a thumbs down. Sad individuals , IMHO.

  • I love this video too, uoyebutbackwords! Every time I watch it, I want to throw the movie on. You really captured the tone of the film for me. : )

  • nice work - thank you !

  • This movie is based on reality. The bad guy always win, and the good guy will never win.

  • This is the wonderful sad love movie I have everseen ! and the songs are like giving life to the movie. - A movie of all times.

  • whats the first theme song and the song from 0:15 to 0:20?

  • @aaron95 --- this is-- "Remind Me" by Royksopp --The Geico Cave Man original Hit Song-- ..If you want to call it that..

  • This film has the greatest soundtrack of all time! Every song in this movie is a masterpiece! I use to think Karen was the prettiest girl in the world, even though what she did at the end was terrible. My first lesson that girls just don't like guys who are too nice to them. Sure, there are rare exceptions, but it seems to be true for the most part.

    You did an excellent job with this video. It really captures the heart of the film.

  • This part is the fight between love and lust... and unfortunately in the end ... Lust won? this is the saddest ending i've ever seen in the film. Some teens will learn something from this movie. 

  • @selle199 no doubt

  • Too bad we can't choose who we fall in love with.

  • @Sing4More -- True.. But Some can fake it, rig it, and pretend to be happy...aka Charlie Sheen, Tiger Woods, etc... with major faults. All joking aside, you are correct with that statement.

  • i love this movie which made me love the song. both make me cry

  • @pillow919 -- Point stated and understood.

  • all i can say is wow

  • @superdruthrill -- Thanks.

  • Awesome job.

  • @TheLindsman68 = Thanks for the comment. This was made for myself, and my friends, including you, whom I hoped would like it.

  • stalker meets whore = great 80's movie

  • Sad,but so true!Beauty is fleeting,what has helped me are some Bible verses.....Proverbs 5:3,6:24-26,11:22,21:9&19,25:2­4,31:30,and Ecclesiastes 7:26! If it has happen to you,pick yourself up,learn from it and get on with your life! While you are crying over her,she is screwing chasing after another man!

  • when i was a teen i used to die 4 impossible grils but now in my 30's i realized that it was all a foolishness

  • Eis am Stiel!!!

  • mulherzinha vagabunda!,,,aproveitou-se da ingenuidade desse rapaz,que além de amá-la,demonstrou uma grande caratér!..Puta toda!

  • that guys a fukn stalker wtf is his problem ? move on & get ur own bitch damn

  • IT REMINDS ME OF A GIRL I ONCE KNEW...AMD THIS HAPPEND ALMOST EXACTLY TO ME .....YOU LIVE AND LEARN THOUGH !!!

  • This movie is good but its sad how many Sluts got on USA

    those bitches do everything for the money there is no love there.

    although the 70-90 was a great sentury where the years has gone..

  • perfect!!

  • @aislefoo1 -- Thanks! You must have superb taste! ...Seriously...Thanks.

  • i love this song...

  • Very well done and I remember watching the movie when it first came out. It's a hearbreaker.

  • @TheLindsman68 -- Thanks...

  • i love this song, love the movie hate the whore.

  • Forget Karen, and her weak sauce. The real reason Gary won the Super Bowl of Stupid was for not hooking up with Rose.

  • @missioncodez == Not the premise of the film's point, but Rose would be a pretty decent consulation prize.

  • @uoyebutbackwords == The film's main theme is about how you can't simply win the heart of one whose heart isn't for you. Gary's failing was that he couldn't see that Karen simply wasn't interested in him in the romantic sense. On the flipside, Gary probably missed out on the better option in Rose, because he was too busy chasing after what wasn't meant to be and, quite frankly, what wasn't worth the pursuit in the long term. So, Rose/Gary isn't the main premise, but it's a reflection of it.

  • i've been watching this video for 10 times already. the movie and the song are both great! thank you for uploading!!

  • Thank you...I've seen this work for over 10 times and I've loved it too. I'm hoping to get editing work, but I'm happy that you like this piece. It's created for my friend, myself, and you, so I guess i did something correct. Thanks for watching it 10 times! No one has ever given me a compliment like that in my life!

  • Great Great Video........I remember this from years ago and the song was just amazing with it. The way she just ripped his heart and soul out in the end was crazy.

  • Fantastic. Remember the movie from 1982 and sometimes hear the tune in my head. It's etched in there - so strong was the impact of the movie. Thanks very much for allowing me to relive it and sing along !

  • One of the greatest movies of all time. Too bad its underrated. A great movie for the times that still is relevant today. Every teen has went through this. Once again, great, great movie.

  • Thanks.

  • Gary was a fool for trying to compete with that pretty MF'er. They always win.

    Many males don't undertand the art of seducing a woman, particularly one who is not especially attracted to you to begin with. It takes time, effort and patience. His other mistake was trying to rush it.

  • Great advice...however a slight too late with it. What you state is very possible..What a female actually told me once.

  • I remember this movie when i was in high school, i fell in love with the girl name ......... never mine! but i love this movie so much especially the sound track...

  • When this film came out, I was the same age as the actors so I can relate to the movie plot & feelings. You have done an excellent job creating the true feel of this movie by summing it up in 5 minutes with the full impact of the love that he felt for her and the hurt he experienced when she returned to the guy who doesn’t love her. It goes to show that the nice guy still loses as it happens in real life to this day. Great video & I will keep it bookmarked to watch again in the near future!

  • Thank you for watching..Your comments are the reason why I did this. You understand it. Thanks.

  • best edited in 5 mins..your the BEST!!!

  • Wow. Thanks for the compliment. Again..someone like you and myself appreciates this. Therefor, it's dedicated for you as well.

  • saw this film in the very early 80's, loved it, then forgot about it, and for bloody 20 years couldnt remember the name of the film or the quincy 'just once' track ! asked in every record store, describing the film , none knew it, even tried too sing the song in one shop lol, how crazy is that ? anyway the point is, loved the film and song, and it took me almost 20 years too find the bloody thing again ! I never tire of the song, and it is now my soul purpose in life to get the dvd lol

  • had a crush on that girl in this movie when it came on oh wish i could turn back the clock 

  • gr8! it's perfect...

  • I feel it is also, so thanks for your extremely nice taste in video creativity.

  • Yeah - The Caveman Song!

  • I had the biggest crush on Lawrence Monoson (Gary) when i was a teenager.. I felt so bad for him getting dumped in the movie like that it was not the fairytale ending i hoped for he looked so heart broken but my thoughts were that her (Karen's) ex' boyfriend was going to dump her again in the end after he used her again...

    I loved that they used the song "Just Once" it was the perfect song for the moment..

  • The funny thing is that the fat kid David was considered real fat back in the 1980's but in 2010 he would be considered just average size. American teenagers have gotten so much fatter since they just sit on the internet and do nothing. In the 1980's kids were much more active.

  • 9 people would vote Gary prom king.

  • this movie schooled me to the ways of women when i was a teen. after seeing this in the 80's, i knew what could be the outcome. and i was that guy on more than one occassion.

  • That dude looks like Peter North's little brother.

  • Awsome movie! It'd been me I'd flew allover that dude, and she's prego and helps her and she burns him again, man what pain..

  • first song?

  • @hectorkidhernandez The song name is REO Speedwagon - Keep On Loving You

  • She fucked you up didn't she. Tore your heart right out of your ass.

  • check out the song 80s girl by rocketman here on youtube. the music video features the party scene from this movie. Totally awsome

  • Incredible! I was thinking about doing the same thing, but this is off the hook brother!

    Excellent post!

  • Comment removed

  • Awesome editing work. I watched it back in 1983 for the first time and the ending hit me like a ton of bricks. It is SUCH a great movie! And still holds its own after all these years! (I own the DVD.) The music is great, the comedy is good, but the real point is the dramatic plot. The previous comments are very correct. You've taken 5 minutes to summarize the entire important essence of the film.

  • my gfs mom felt my dick and i came instantly on her hand!good times!

  • y que paso al final, se mató jajaja demasiado triste y romantica para mis gustos, no hubo acción...

  • Tá provado quem tem pena so toma no C,,,,,,,,,,

  • Can't listen enough of it. Just love it.

  • Diane Franklin was a hottie. She should have had a better career than being stuck with TV movies. Good job on the video.

  • Damn! his lips is so Sexyyyy..wanna kiss.....hehehhe

  • Wow just"sublime" perfect resume of the film!!my fav.song ever because the film!! Congratulations!!

    Cheers!

  • Cheers to you, my little bastard friend.

  • I remember the first time I saw this movie. I think I was only 8 ( 80's something ) Me and my 2 older sisters are all crying..Huhuhuhuhu..I hate Karen sooo much! Still affects me up to now..Crazy me..hehehe

  • i was very impressed with the vid.it lets us know that we all were that guy at one period or another.and sometimes the credits will roll without a happy ending....all apart of becoming man.

  • with your permision I´ll put it on my facebook too ! Too many young people even don´t know the film ! ;) Your vid is great. And is my top one film ;)

  • You can surly attach it to your facebook. Thanks for the comment.

  • LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

  • Remembering the life's hectic moments in 1982........one of James Ingram's finest.

  • ganda ng video mo ....kakaiyak ha...napakatanga nung babae noh....di lng sa movie yan vice versa nangyayari in real life saba lahat ng tao marunong rumespeto sa nararamdaman ng bawat isa noh....pag di sure wag nlng paasahin kasi kawawa ung totoong nagmamhal eh di ba...

  • i too have felt the unjust pain of my heart smashed into oblivion by a girl so heartless. Puppy Love is a muther fuker.

  • i love and hate this movie.....BEST MOVIE EVER made of its time....

  • thank you for putting this together.i loved this movie first time i watched it back in the 80s and i can remember how mad i felt at her at the end. its a much more romantic movie than the lemon popsicles although it takes the story from the early ones.take a pat on the back you deserve it, what a great job you done

  • what a great movie .. love the movie ... reminds me the good old time

  • Great job! nice editing!

  • i loved this movie i have to admit i am strong but this movie always gets me in the end, i been through it for someone i loved, and she loved someone else

  • This was one of my fav's in the 80's, I loved this bittersweet story. I thought Gary was sooo hot, now lookin back u can tell he is gay, right?! Still love the movie and songs, and yes I think Karen is a stupid bitch, who does that? !!!

  • Gary the snail and karenbitchbob asspants!

    And rickward!

  • How romantic but how come the girl is such a bitch!

  • i love this song sooo much. i really hate the fact that he got f*ucked up at the end.. how can people have no feelings and no heart. i gave my heart and i ended up getting hurt : (

  • meu marido ama este filme ,toda vez que ele assisti ele acaba chorando eu acho um fofo, pois mostra que ele tem sentimentos e é por isso que eu amo meu marido cada vez mais......

  • This was one teenage movie where there was no happy ending.

  • That poor guy looks like a young Ray Romano. Hahaha.

  • great video!! I like how you got the gist of the movie boy loves girl, girl loves another boy..girl gets heart broken..good ole' boy's there to pick up the pieces...GIRLS A WHORE and goes back to jerk boy...Tale as old as time!!

  • this is a typical girl, doing her dumb ass bullshit. he should have went up to her and spit in her face.

  • that guy was too much of a wuss.

  • Exhibit A: Nice guys finish last. I wish I had a dollar for every poor guy who went down a path similar to this.

  • wala ;lang

  • Music by the very best of all time: Mr. Barry Mann

  • Just not fair is it?
