This is a movie that I cherish for several reasons..
Good or bad .. I have a ton of Del's qualities in myself.. like when Del spots the shy girl with the brace on her leg in the crowd and walks over to her and asks her to dance.. that is totally something I would do.
and you can ask Ronnie.. I'm always saying:
"Nice is two o'clock in afternoon.. I wanna be midnight .. quarter to three!"
And I really am that.. it is just that I don't show it to everyone.
Great pics Muffs & Pyro!

And you can rent movies that are only available on VHS too? Isn't Donovan Leitch also the son of singer Donovan?

Makes me wonder how "Dirty Dancing" ever topped this movie. It was probably that damn "She's like the Wind" song that Swayze sang for the soundtrack that had all the soccer moms swooning...lol...ok..that and Jennifer Grey was obviously much cuter than Jennifer Runyon.
Anyway..yeah..this is a good flick. I highly recommend it too.
I think Jennifer's way cuter.

Anthony .. that is correct about Donovan. But the even cooler thing to me has always been the fact that he is the older brother of Ione Skye. Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

OK, so all of the talk on this movie had me put it on Netflix today and I was so glad I did. The spin move in the beginning is still amazing and I even downloaded a few songs that I didn't have from the movie. Oddly the only other thing of note that Vicky was in was the blonde patient from ghostbusters in the lab. Wasted talent. Anyway I like it better than Hairspray even though they are similar the soundtrack of actual music pits it over the top for me.
We are DEVO

Devo.. that scene in "Ghostbusters" is just so good though and it totally sets the tone of the movie.
Besides "The In Crowd" and "Ghostbusters".. I usually think of Jennifer Runyon from "Charles In Charge" and "Up The Creek". But I agree that she was not in enough movies in the 80's.
I haven't seen "18 Again" in years.. but I remember her being it as well.

Good photo. I like Cutting Class, good horror movie. It also had Jill Schoelen, kind of an '80s scream queen, with also Popcorn and The Stepfather to her credits. I heard she was even dating co-star Brad Pitt at the time. Okay, so Popcorn came out in 1991. Here's an article where she was interviewed as one of Dred Central's Final Girls. I guess she made it to the end of a lot of horror movies, surviving and killing off the bad guys:
Cutting Class is a favorite of mine. I like the part where Donovan Leitch's character leaves a math problem on the blackboard in which one of the doors is the correct answer and where he's waiting at the other end of the door with the wrong answer. Classic slasher scene, I don't want to wreck it for those who haven't seen it. The ending was kind of cool too, reminded me of a lot of action movies, where they usually fight it out in some kind of abandoned factory ala Terminator or Cobra, except in this one it's in the wood shop classroom. Good stuff. Some decent kills in this movie too, from what I remember.

Ronnie.. that was fantastic in a 'creepy pet my sister while she's talking' kind of way.
Loved the part about Ione Skye locking herself in her room and listening to "Purple Rain". Posts: 7845 | From: Smiling and glancing in awe in the back of a limo | Registered: Mar 2003 | Site Updates: 22

Ronnie .. I like how you act like you still don't lock yourself up alone in a room and listen .. or make that watch "Purple Rain". How long has it been .. three weeks? ha
Seriously, that interview was a great find and a blast to watch.
I totally want to attend an all night movie double feature of "Say Anything" followed by "The In Crowd" now. With a dance cave 'dance off' between movies! - whoa.. watch the couch .. might need that later.

This is probably so awkward because it was taken from the late night show 'The Word' which used to be on UK TV. It reminds me of why I hated the 90's. I can vaguely remember watching that episode when it originally aired!

Just watched The In Crowd and it was.. momentous! Truly a feelgood movie.
This is the only film Mark Rosenthal ever directed but he has written another classic, The Legend of Billie Jean.
Totally love the cast, even the "bad guy", Scott Plank as Dugan was awesome. I kept thinking where i´ve seen him and then remembered that he had the lead role in Michael Mann´s L.A. Takedown i watched last summer. Sadly the guy passed away in 2002.
So many magical moments in the movie: All the english class scenes, the brace dance, the first kiss, the "battle" with Dugan etc..
I liked all the oldie tunes and the main theme, composed by Mark Snow, was just perfect. Pure-80s-magic!

There are several reasons as to why the Rewind means a lot to so many of us. But I'd put helping each other discover lost treasures such as movie like "The In Crowd" way up the list.
We would all still enjoy the 80's, but we would each be on our own little missions to find hidden gems without each other.

When the legendary D*ck Clark passed away recently my first thoughts were of American Bandstand and D*ck Clark's Rockin New Year's Eve. I can remember my Mom swooning over D*ck Clark being an ageless wonder in her eyes when I was a kid.
Hearing the news of D*ck Clark's passing was not shocking to me because most of us saw first hand the struggles he endured over his last several years every New Year's Eve, but it still evoked memories of my youth and how this iconic figure touched me.
Which is why I posted this here! You see D**k Clark is all over "The In Crowd" .. referred to often and he was almost an obsession of Perry Parker because D*ck Clark had achieved the success that Perry Parker desperately seeked.
So if you haven't seen "The In Crowd", I highly recommend it. The movie is currently available on Netflix and I encourage everyone that is a fan of D*ck Clark or Perry Parker to take a few minutes this flashback Saturday morning and at least watch the beginning.
"Oh, Chuck, I Just need to see the end of American Bandstand."
Most people know that I'm a huge fan of the movie "Can't Buy Me Love" as well. And one of my favorite lines when I see someone on tv that just can't dance .. I'm quick to utter the infamous Chuckie Miller line:
"Now that ain't D*ck Clark!"
