This has been one of my all-time favorites since I 1st saw it in the early '80's - thanks for posting

I just got this movie on DVD and I love it. It seems like a pretty realistic story about an abrupt rise to fame, then the crash-and-burn. I think I liked Fee Waybill's performance best; he came off as so petulant and pathetic and washed up and it was so believable! A lot of great actors here, especially as some of them hadn't appeared in fims till then.

I saw this film when I was in high school which was between 1983-1987 on HBO. I could not get enough of it. I sang the songs everywhere I went, it aIso inspired me in my life. I even taped it off HBO but my stupid older sister taped over it. I was never able to find a copy anywhere. Now that I know that I can find it now I will hunt it down. I fell in love with Diane Lane after I saw the film. This film with the right promotion could go the way of Rock Horror Picture Show.

Great movie...but if a 14 year-old (Diane Lane in 1980) showed her nipples today like she did in the film, the whole crew would be arrested!

they wouldnt not in europe...

Excellent - this movie has a dark reality that is as present today as it was in early 1980. This movie will be studied in History of Film classes for 100's of years...It's the beginning of 1980's music and culture...it's also a story about hopelessness turned into triumph, and about making something of your life and not settling with just existing. It's a bold message.

I, too, taped this from Night Flight. I laughed/cringed when I watched it the first time--and totally fell in love with Ray Winstone. I love him as an actor to this day, no matter how much weight he puts on--but, okay, maybe Henry VIII size was a bit too much! In fact, I got interested in the Fabulous Stains cuz Ray Winstone was also in Showtime's Robin Hood and I couldn't believe it was the same guy: "Wait, was THAT a really young punked-out Ray Winstone I just saw on Night Flight?"

Ray Winstone!!

I just watched it for the first time on TCM (Turner Classic Movies). It was great! I love Diane Lane. And I can see why Bon Jovie loved her too. I would have dated her in a heart beat. Even though she was just acting, she seems to have a real Rebel soul in her.
