Totally random but those with a taste for '70s grit and a time when youth themed films were quite insightful and intelligent should check this out. It's also a great argument against central planning: that communities should grow organically based on the free market of human mobility.

Great flick, one of those I will always stop to watch if I catch it on tv. This is the movie that made Matt Dillon “King of the Juvenile Delinquents” for the next decade of film.

Haven’t seen this film in ages. It used to play on HBO frequently back in the 80s. It was as much “based on a true story” as “The Wild One” (i.e. Not much at all). Great soundtrack and real-time depiction of 70s youth culture.

I saw this back in the 70s and own the DVD. Good flick.

The script was loosely based on “Mouse Packs” an article series which appeared in the 1974 San Francisco Chronicle.
