Rad (the movie)

[Bulldog]

One of the great under-the-radar movies of the 80s is available free online:

Rad is, well, freaking awesome. It's like Karate Kid's way cooler older brother. Best line:

Cru: God, what I wouldn't give to go ass-sliding with you right now.

If you haven't watched this in 20 years, or never watched it but are about 27 or older, you will enjoy the next 90 minutes of your life.

I don't know why this movie is free. It says:

I couldn't find any other movies on the site worth watching, except for Battle Royale.

You're right - I will enjoy the next 90 minutes of my life. Because I'm not watching Rad.

Seriously, I've never watched the whole movie, but the parts I saw when I was younger seemed pretty [censored].

I loved this movie when I was kid so I won't be watching it now to ruin that.

[Ditch Digger]

It's a great movie with one of the best soundtracks of all time.

edit:

"c'mon wesley. we're havin' lots of fun."

"check out of town, jack."

"waitin' for your brother, wes?"

"no, you blimp, i'm meditating."

God I used to love this movie. Lori Loughlin may very well have been my first celebrity crush.

"You over-rotated."

"No [censored]."

Still blows my mind that this isn't on DVD yet. Especially since there is definitely an HD master out there; it was shown on HDNet about a year ago and it was as awesome as I remembered it. I really feel for those of you whose childhoods did not include this movie.

Rad is the one that uses the Pet Shop Boys "Send me a Angel" song in it right.

the I'll go sliding with you any day flick

if so this is one of the greatest movies ever made. Its up there with Thrasher
