"Rumble Fish" is probably my favourite from that year...not least for the superb music by Stan Stansfield and Stewart Copeland..there's a copy on my shelf and i shall watch it again...If only Mickey Rourke could have stayed that way..( at least no facial surgery)...remembering it as i write,this is a classic : got to get out this small town coz it's killing us/rebel without a cause/wild one excursion...it's undercut by a whistful childlike quality in the Rusty James character(Dillon),looking to his big bad brother "The Motorcycle Boy" (Rourke) for answers ,but the "boy" can see himself turning into his alchoholic father (Dennis Hopper)... cheers HairyLime,you remind me about the Tom Waits cameo,then ,of course theres Nic Cage,who gets the girl..huh!
I love it ...
