I've seen 'Candy' and 'The Graduate' as well
Mind you, I've excluded any specific Jake Gyllenhaal films from my list
Some of those can be found under "5. a million other movies", I guess.
Sometimes I watch an old movie I used to like, and suddenly it's not as good as I had remembered... or too slow, or far too long ('Titanic', anyone?) I used to like a lot of music fims (Grease, Footloose, Flashdance, Dirty Dancing) and I have them all on DVD, but I rarely watch them anymore. Suppose I've watched them too often in the past.
I once saw an 80s film on Dutch TV, late at night, that had Aidan Quinn in it. I had videotaped the last hour or so, but my video messed up the ending and the credits... After a while I couldn't remember the title or who the female lead was - but I couldn't get that film out of my head. I only remembered Aidan Quinn - he was well known back then for being in 'Desperately Seeking Susan' with Madonna. In this one, he reminded me a lot of James Dean in 'Rebel without a Cause'.
Anyway, it took me years and years to find out what the film was called. This was waaaay before the internet, folks!
I came across it a couple of years ago when I was reading YouTube comments about a song that features in the film ('Kids in America' by Kim Wilde). Yaaaaaaaay! The film was called 'Reckless'.
But... no region 2 DVDs to be found anywhere. I don't think the film was ever officially released in Europe. I managed to find a bootleg on eBay after a while, so you can imagine how happy I was! Hadn't seen the film in over 25 years.
Well, it arrived and I played it... and it was mediocre at best
Such a typical 80s teen movie! It does have its fine moments - but in the DVD version they edited out some great sex scenes and nudity, so that was a disappointment
No way it's in my all-time favorite list anymore! I still love it for old times' sake, though.
