Loved these... Still watch Vision Quest whenever it's on and made a playlist of the music in it in order as well. Great movie.

Big Trouble in Little China. It may be popular on here, but I find people all the time that have never heard of it. Blows my mind.

I pretend it's really Diane Lane singing. It's really dubbed, she can't carry a tune to save her life.

The actor who plays Louden's sidekick, the dude with the Mohawk, also plays Molly Ringwald's crush in Sixteen Candles. I see the obvious resemblance now, but never realized it until somebody pointed it out. He was also a national junior champion wrestler himself.
