I watched this movie for the first time in 86 and fell in love with every bit of it. Now 32 years later, I'm watching it again and falling in love all over again. Best Rock'n Roll movie of all time.
I never saw this until the mid 90's which is weird cuz i had HBO and Cinemax and saw just about every movie in the eighties. Especially comedies. When I discovered this, I was like, wtf? Rick moranis, diane lane, willem defoe? Where had I been?
Same here. One of my all time favorite movies and soundtracks. Now it’s one of my 9 year old daughters favorite movies. I had to buy it on iTunes so we could watch it on a plane to visit my mom in Florida and she fell in love with it. She had the same trance like look I did when I heard “Nowhere Fast” and seeing a young hot Diane Lane for the first time. I heard the man who wrote the script for this passed recently. Shame.
I was a teenager when I watched this movie for the first time. I watched it today again, and I'm 45 now. Man, it's timeless! I still listen to the soundtrack!
William DeFoe........insanely magnificent. One of the best actors STILL working. Every role he made his own, from the 80s to hell, tomorrow. He will bury most of us and look good doing it.
I saw this movie in 1985 in a Navy barracks lounge and loved it ever since. I re-watch my DVD every couple of years so I can remember, "what it means to be young"
Since the 80s', the first time I watched the movie, Streets of Fire has been the classic I'll never forget, roaring fantasy rock that swings between the 50s' and the 80s'!!
I love Walter Hill. I love this movie. Michael Pare is very subdued but great in this role. Willem Dafoe is absolutely frightening. Very underrated film.
A timeless classic,the first viewing was after it was released but I remember everything from the Walter Hill masterpiece. I just purchased the 4K and let me tell you it’s absolutely beautiful and again timeless it just doesn’t get old. Let’s not forget Rick Moranis and Devoe simply iconic. Kinda glad box office was not great as they may have pushed a part 2 which would’ve been sacrilege. Thanks for the great vid !✌️
She was but she had just emerged from being a child star (she was on the cover of Time magazine which was huge back then). It felt a bit uncomfortable and weird for the viewing public to look at someone that way who you thought of as a child 5 years earlier.
Nice try folks. The long awaited troubled production has finally released on Friday June 29, 1984 during the 1984-1985 fall season. A Universal-international and StudioCanal presentation of a Lone Wolf/Intermedia/Silver Pictures production, Universal- International.
Even though she was lip syncing her 'singing' performances really nail the rockstar style. She really makes the songs seem like they come from her. Amazing.
She was just 18 years old during the filming of Streets of Fire. Born in January of 1965. The film was shot from April of 1983 until August of 1983. Released in June of 1984
5 years earlier, she was the lead in A Little Romance with Lawrence Olivier, Sally Kellerman and Broderick Crawford. She had chops and everyone knew it.
@@jameslatta6813 The long awaited troubled production was finally released in theaters in the 1984-1985 fall season, June 29, 1984 as well as its both limited and wide releases in July 13 & 20 with modest results.
America has fall in love with the Oscar winning Little Romance for Warner Bros (USA) and Columbia (worldwide) under the deft direction of George Roy Hill. After the success of the film, Academy Award nominee Diane Lane had plenty of chops and everyone knew it so well with Universal-International's Streets of Fire (1984-1985) along with Lionsgate/StudioCanal/ American Zoetrope's Oscar nominated The Cotton Club (1984).
We were a generation without a voice or a vote, the critics buried this excellent film and did not allow the sequels to be made. You should investigate who the critics were because I have never heard a bad review from viewers. These critics robbed us of the pleasure of enjoying the following films. My opinion is that they were merciless with it because they did not receive bribes to criticize it well, since it is a rock jewel and an excellent movie.
Great upload. Thanks. Everyone - back in '84 - thought this was going to be one of the biggest hits of that summer. A financial flop that eventually became a Cult Classic. Hugely entertaining film.
Back in the 1984-1985 fall season-thought this was going to be one of the sleeper hits of that year. Walter Hill's Streets of Fire was a financial flop that eventually became a cult classic, hugely entertaining film at its best. The film opens on Wednesday, December 12, 1984.
But I’m sorry because I disagree with you in some cases - we’re not in the movie business but what we’re supposed to be doing is focus on our own roots and nothing else. For some reason I’m going to see different pictures and know what it’s like to be. And after that I’m done with everything I’ve been going through over the years so you do better start getting yourself together because nobody’s going to help you anymore. You’re all on your own - right here, right now. Do what you really think is right.
I’m surprised the doc didn’t mention her earlier performance as a punk rock star (she was just 15 at the time) appearing alongside the Sex Pistols and a young Ray Winston in the movie ‘Ladies and Gentleman, the Fabulous Stains’! The movie is a cult classic now.
God I wish no one ever aged & stay beautiful forever , it’s not that I’m vain I just feel that when you’re younger you expect so much with the stamina be able to do it.
Great movie and a timeless classic ,seen it at least 10 times ,finally bought it on remastered 4k bluray, William Dafoe was great in this film ,a underrated film that still stands today ,Walter Hill is a great director and he doesn't get the credit he deserves , THE WARRIORS ,48 HOURS ,EXTREME PREJUDICE, RED HEAT ,UNDISPUTED
I didnt realize it till about 10 years ago but i think Walter Hill is my favorite director. all these films i have loved since the mid 70s and never realized they all had the same director. The Blasters are one of my all time favorite bands and back in the 80s Michael Pare was one of my two favorite actors.
Yes da girl with da Dutch surname who plays Michael p sister was on dat film also forgot her name btw , 😍 but she was the leading lady dumsell in distress in warriors which is like diane lane character in sof
I wouldve been about 17 or 18 when I hired this on VHS...59 now 😯 Absolutely loved it..went out & bought the soundtrack vinyl, which I played to death(not quite as i still have it). Brilliant movie,Killer music...10/10 ✌️❤️ 🇦🇺🦘
"Streets of Fire" - June 29, 1984. Universal Pictures A Universal-International/StudioCanal presentation of a Lone Wolf/Intermedia/Silver Pictures production. A Universal-International Release (c)1984-1985 Universal Pictures Limited. Original soundtrack album available on Mercury Records, Cassettes and CD's.
One of my all time favourites. I love the rock opera/musical genre; Tommy, Rocky Horror, The Wall, Jesus Christ Superstar, Little Shop of Horrors, etc. Though sometimes, the acting doesn't match the music, I think taken as a whole entity rather than just certain aspects, these movies entertain me to no end
Everyone speaks about Diane Lane and I can definitely understand that ;-) But am I the only one with a crush for Deborah van Valkenburgh who plays Tom Cody's sister ? I find her so sweet and charming in this movie.
Thanks for uploading! Would it be alright if I used clips from this for a video I'm creating on Streets of Fire? I will credit you on screen and in the description :)
Although i havent born in that time the movie was made but just because of diane lane i watched it in 2017 i guess if im not wrong just for you diane lane the ultimate beauty
Not one mention about the band Fire Inc and their singer Laurie Sargent with the two songs that made this move…Nowhere fast and Tonight is what it means to be young. Such a shame, those were stunning vocals and songs.
This is a bit like the Rollerball or Blade Runner. Yes I've seen them all in the theaters. I don't know why Streets of Fire was not recognized as much as it should have been world wide.
"Querido Miguel Angel: si lees algún día este comentario, quiero que sepas que Sigo Amando " Calles de Fuego" y todas las cosas hermosas y los sueños que vivimos con este film, siendo una pareja de jóvenes hermosos y todo lo que aprendimos juntos.Te lo dedico a Vos como tu amiga, con Todo mi Corazón. Gracias!!!..."
Odd that Amy Madigan had the most consistent career . . . . Pare sort of plateaued and Diane Lane took a lot longer to become a major actress than you would have expected in 1983 or so, but Madigan stayed a respected character actress all the way . . . .
I watched this movie for the first time in 86 and fell in love with every bit of it. Now 32 years later, I'm watching it again and falling in love all over again. Best Rock'n Roll movie of all time.
It was 1986 too and the local cinema was playing it. I will always remember that night! Take me back to the 80s, leave me there!
I never saw this until the mid 90's which is weird cuz i had HBO and Cinemax and saw just about every movie in the eighties. Especially comedies. When I discovered this, I was like, wtf? Rick moranis, diane lane, willem defoe? Where had I been?
Love forever.The entire movie was riveting.The music and choreography flawless.
Same here. One of my all time favorite movies and soundtracks. Now it’s one of my 9 year old daughters favorite movies.

It's one of the few movies that gets better over time because you realize no one will ever make a film like this again. EPIC.
I was a teenager when I watched this movie for the first time. I watched it today again, and I'm 45 now. Man, it's timeless! I still listen to the soundtrack!
Diane lane was a teenager aswell.😬
@@paulbirkbeck1790 yeah, she was only 19!!! Amazing!
Diane Lane is absolutely magical in this role!!! 😍😍
She is
she is _adorable_
One of the most underrated movies in history.
This movie is underrated and memorable!
The world wasn't ready for it. For me it became a cult movie though.
William DeFoe........insanely magnificent. One of the best actors STILL working. Every role he made his own, from the 80s to hell, tomorrow. He will bury most of us and look good doing it.
Good old William DeFoe.....I've heard he's almost as good as that Willem Dafoe fella......
I saw this movie in 1985 in a Navy barracks lounge and loved it ever since. I re-watch my DVD every couple of years so I can remember, "what it means to be young"
One of my favorite movies ever! Those songs are perfect for singing in the car at the top of your lungs 😊
Since the 80s', the first time I watched the movie, Streets of Fire has been the classic I'll never forget, roaring fantasy rock that swings between the 50s' and the 80s'!!
I love Walter Hill. I love this movie. Michael Pare is very subdued but great in this role. Willem Dafoe is absolutely frightening. Very underrated film.
This is my favorite movie with Michael Paré. Next is Philadelphia Experiment. And Moon 44 is also good.
Yes, this perfectly showed the shocking diversity of Defoe. Something audiences would get used to in future years. You can't even recognize him. LOL
A timeless classic,the first viewing was after it was released but I remember everything from the Walter Hill masterpiece. I just purchased the 4K and let me tell you it’s absolutely beautiful and again timeless it just doesn’t get old. Let’s not forget Rick Moranis and Devoe simply iconic.

The soundtrack was EVERYTHING
A Rock & Roll Fable!
The neon splashed sets were a big part of this movie too. Just love the way the film looks.
Its a shame all the combined singers never performed this live.... ellen aim's voice was a combination of view singers to create 1 magnificent voice..
Wow, Diane Lane was beautiful, she still is but I never imagined she was so much beautiful
She was but she had just emerged from being a child star (she was on the cover of Time magazine which was huge back then).
It felt a bit uncomfortable and weird for the viewing public to look at someone that way who you thought of as a child 5 years earlier.
The fact that Christopher Lambert was regularly sticking it in her in the 80s is goddamn travesty I might add.

She's beautiful.

Diane Lane is just ...perfect
She’s really pretty!
Saw it in 84 as a freshman in high school. Great movie, great music, 18 year old Diane Lane. Yep.
One of my all time favorie movies (including the soundtrack!) from the 80's 😊
Great movie. Loved it as a kid and it still works today
I can't believe how young Diane Lane, and Michael Paré were. She was 19, and I was 13/14. One of my all time FAVORITE movies.

Michael Paré was just a tease back then. So handsome, so young, so manly...so whitish handsome.
He definitely very good looking back then.
My two favorite films from Walter Hill. Warriors and Streets of Fire 🔥
They make a great double bill.
I'm so grateful i saw this in the cinema...
Que recuerdos... todavía escucho esos temas, inolvidable esa película y su hermosa protagonista.
had a lifelong crush on diane
join the club
yum
I’m surprised the doc didn’t mention her earlier performance as a punk rock star (she was just 15 at the time) appearing alongside the Sex Pistols and a young Ray Winston in the movie ‘Ladies and Gentleman, the Fabulous Stains’! The movie is a cult classic now.
Come on guys! She is very beautiful even today, we must not forget that we will all grow old!
Damn, I wanna go back to '84
Awesome movie & cast
I knew that was the Flashdance double without knowing it. The moves give it away.
one of my best favorite films ever, and the music... my god :)
God I wish no one ever aged & stay beautiful forever , it’s not that I’m vain I just feel that when you’re younger you expect so much with the stamina be able to do it.
Fun fact. Defoe’s number two in The Bombers is Lee Ving. He is the lead singer of the punk rock band FEAR.
Yes and I think he was also in the wildlife
*Dafoe
Great movie and a timeless classic ,seen it at least 10 times ,finally bought it on remastered 4k bluray, William Dafoe was great in this film ,a underrated film that still stands today ,Walter Hill is a great director and he doesn't get the credit he deserves , THE WARRIORS ,48 HOURS ,EXTREME PREJUDICE, RED HEAT ,UNDISPUTED
Great movie, awesome soundtrack
My God to think we were all so young and beautiful once.
Walter Hill, genius! Tonight is what it means to be young. If you see this movie, you will forever be young!😀❤💣💥
I didnt realize it till about 10 years ago but i think Walter Hill is my favorite director. all these films i have loved since the mid 70s and never realized they all had the same director. The Blasters are one of my all time favorite bands and back in the 80s Michael Pare was one of my two favorite actors.
The soundtrack was FIRE indeed! Love it! And Diane Lane. She still looks the same now as she was back then. She's ageless.
Diane Lane played her role as Ellen Aim perfectly, she embodied Ellen Aim just perfectly.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Terrific film. Pretty lackluster films today.
Lane whew like work of art come to life
Diane Lane was 'outta this world' beautiful back then!
She had that amazing look of classic Hollywood actresses....😍😍😍
Walter Also Hill Directed The Movie Called The Warriors.
Also "48 Hours" "The Driver"
Yes da girl with da Dutch surname who plays Michael p sister was on dat film also forgot her name btw , 😍 but she was the leading lady dumsell in distress in warriors which is like diane lane character in sof
@@kennethrussell1158 and many more better movies..you have the same name as one of the best directors who ever lived.
And like a 1000 more....
watch Southern Comfort (1981) by Walter Hill
WILLEM DAFOE WAS CRAZY.......
Diane Lane absolute Smash.
great movie
Unforgettable
Another Place.. Another Time..
Wonderful !!!!I love this Movie!!!!
Michael Pare’ Hot stuff! Even in 2019 lol
I wouldve been about 17 or 18 when I hired this on VHS...59 now 😯
Absolutely loved it..went out & bought the soundtrack vinyl, which I played to death(not quite as i still have it).

Awesome!!!
Tom Cody, pleased to meet ya
This movie is one of my favorite.. the 2 songs are awesome. WHERE CAN I SEE THE MOVIE??
It’s streaming on Netflix right now. I watched it for the millionth time.
Just been restored and released on 4k UHD. That's the best way to see it.
One of my favorite movies n my teenage years 🤣👌
Watched it in 2024 and it was pretty fun. Pure 80's, naive, one-liners and exploding cars😂
Diane Lane - 19 yrs old & 13 movies. WOW !!
Everyone speaks about Diane Lane and I can definitely understand that ;-)
But am I the only one with a crush for Deborah van Valkenburgh who plays Tom Cody's sister ? I find her so sweet and charming in this movie.
She was hot
Love the movie
Thanks for uploading! Would it be alright if I used clips from this for a video I'm creating on Streets of Fire? I will credit you on screen and in the description :)

On my top movie list ,William Defoe was great In it too ,great movie all way round from the 80s 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮☘️
Willem Dafoe you i diot
This is a bit like the Rollerball or Blade Runner. Yes I've seen them all in the theaters. I don't know why Streets of Fire was not recognized as much as it should have been world wide.
Люблю этот фильмы и эти песни. Дайен - очень красива.
Did you know that the arcade hit FINAL FIGHT got the story and the character name cody for the game from this movie?
If I could only watch 2 movies foe the rest of my life, this would be one. The other would be The Crow.
no price for this pearl!!!!!!!!!
Walter Hill-------a talent who's reach always exceeded his grasp. ------------ALWAYS. ----------------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o
This film should have been better, had Hill paid more attention to the script, & casting. Pare ?? A total dud. -------------WolfSky9
Ohh Diane Lane at such a young tender age
Diane Lane. Forget the rest of the movie, look at how she plays a rock star.

Wow that song Diane Lane is signing I have to get it! min 6:54 any idea wich version it is?
I do belive it is called Never Be You I'm not sure who the actual singer is but it is most definitely on the Streets of Fire Soundtrack
Just Google never be you Streets of fire soundtrack
Reminds me of the classic " American Pop " .
That was five years later.

@@guitarman8462 Thanks!
I'm pretty sure the diner in this movie was the same set they used for Back to the Future. Right??
No !!
Great movie.
And it became a cult classic right next to Rocky Horror Picture Show.
I believe Rick Moranis or Willem Dafoe were the most experienced than Diane Lane. That initial statement is inaccurate.
anche rivisto oggi, rimane un bel cult degli anni 80. spiace che non abbia avuto un particolare successo.
Odd that Amy Madigan had the most consistent career . . . . Pare sort of plateaued and Diane Lane took a lot longer to become a major actress than you would have expected in 1983 or so, but Madigan stayed a respected character actress all the way . . . .
