Streets of Fire is a classic. A true rock and roll fairy tale. I can't wait to show this movie to my kids like my dad showed it to me. Hope my son doesn't fall in love as hard as i did with Diane Lane.
I saw this movie in the theaters in Charleston South Carolina as a young 20-year-old. Crappy story, but a great soundtrack. The visuals are still outstanding to this day.
Stupid story with a total fantasy script and some of the best music of the 1980s. This will always be one of my top Rock-N-Roll movies. And as everyone has stated, Diane Lane is fabulous in this movie (and in life). I watch it at least once a year. The music will always pull me back.
The full soundtrack from this movie is amazing. Diane Lane is fantastic. And a very early Willem Dafoe being his most Willem DaFoe'iest. The only thing that drags it down a little is its lead is a bit wooden.
@@andrewtaylor940 Looks like I finally found someone that likes to play as rough as I do... This cast was a who's who of future stars. It was one of the early VHS-HI tapes. Hook up the VHS to the stereo and play it thru speakers the size of a small refrigerators. Over the top, super slick 80's thing... But I can testify...they 80's were awesome.
I adore this song. And after moving to the UK in 1993, I finally found someone else who knows the song & film: after 31 years! Dan Hartman is so under-rated.
One of my all time favourite movies! Michael Parè, Diane Lane, Willem Dafoe and Rich Moranis!!! With lead songs written by the late Jim Steinman. Just Epic, for sure an "Rock and roll fable" forever in my heart!
Love this song. One of the best of all time. Diane Lane has never looked hotter and Michael Paré was at his peak. Unfortunately he wasn't picked to be a leading man after this... our loss.
If i had to pick one PERFECT MOVIE from the 80s THIS would be IT... SO underrated... That romantic scene where Ellen and Tom kissed in the rain STILL gives me goosebumps... Enlisted a few weeks after.... watch the movie hundreds of times STILL have the video cassette.
One of my FAV movies of the 80s!!! it was totally underrated and this concert scene was the best! I had such a crush on the dude who was singing LOL! great movie great decade.
I've seen this movie countless times- it's a classic with cool characters and songs. I've recommended it to various and sundry folks, ALL who've given it 2 thumbs up!
The weird thing about the 80's is that I was a teen then and thought that the "good times" would always last and it would keep going forever --- but in the 90's I saw foreboding signs like the angry tone of grunge and the the school shootings of the late 90's and then finally 9/11 and I knew our society would no longer be the happy and optimistic culture we had in the 80's
[Verse 1] No more timing Each tear that falls from my eyes I`m not hiding the remedy To cure this old heart of mine [Chorus] I can dream about you If I can`t hold you tonight I can dream about you You know how to hold me just right I can dream about you If I can`t hold you tonight I can dream about you You know how to hold me just right [Verse 2] Moving sidewalks I don`t see under my feet Climbing up from down here below Where the streets See me lonely for you, oh [Chorus] I can dream about you If I can`t hold you tonight I can dream about you You know how to hold me just right [Verse 3] (I can dream about you) I`m gonna press My lips against you And hold you to me (I can dream about you) You know you got me Spellbound What else can it be? Moving sidewalks I don`t see under my feet Climbing up from the pain in my heart Cause it`s you that I need I can dream Whoa Oh, oh, oh I can dream Yes, I can dream Whoa Oh, oh, oh I don`t understand it Can`t keep my mind off loving you (Not even for a minute) Oooh Now baby I`m caught up in the magic I see in you There`s one thing to do [Chorus] I can dream about you If I can`t hold you tonight I can dream about you You know how to hold me just right Oh, I can dream about you If I can`t hold you tonight I can dream about you Oh, I can dream I can dream I can dream about you I can dream about you
Fanastic Edit! Captured all the elements of the film and seamlessly blended it with this great song from the soundtrack. If only the movie was as good.
I remember when the movie came out. It was hyped - A Rock and Roll Fable, but it tanked. 40 years later it's a classic. Awesome soundtrack, Lane and Dafoe in their youth.
fill my room with 80s air while watching this , im in my teens and went to high school thru-out the 80s .... im 55 now....flashbach of those wonders years filled my head......
This was the great movie of its time, I remember when I went to see it at the cinema, Willem Dafoe as the bad boy hahaha, the great Dan Hartman and an incredible cast of actors, unforgettable 80s 😃
such a great movie and soundtrack. This probably was the first movie for Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan, Willem Dafoe, Deborah Van Valkenburgh, Bill Paxton - they were all great - Willem DaFoe - HUGE!
Mot of them had done _something_ before this movie. Diane Lane had been around for a bit before this. She did Six Pack and The Outsiders before Streets of Fire. And Michael Pare had been in Eddie and the Cruisers the year before Streets came out (and though it's not a movie, Pare had also been on Greatest American Hero on TV). Rick Moranis had done Strange Brew, and this opened within a week of Ghostbusters; depending on the town you lived in and when you got each movie, it's possible you knew Moranis from Ghostbusters first, even if you didn't know him from Bob & Doug. As for Dafoe, his first leading role was in a movie called The Loveless all the way back in '81, co-written and co-directed by the one and only Kathryn Bigelow. And yet another motorcycle gang.
Movie trivia time. The cast of this movie includes: as members of the Sorels: Robert Townsend, Grand Bush (from "Die Hard"); Stoney Jackson (Beat It video); Mykelti Williamson (Bubba from "Forrest Gump); EJ Daley (voice of Tommy Pickles from "Rugrats"); Bill Paxton ("Twister"); Williem Dafoe ("John Wick"); Lee Ving ("Flashdance"); Deborah Van Valkenburgh ("Too Close for Comfort"); Rick Rossovich ("Top Gun") and, last, but not least, Beyoncé's step-daddy, Richard Lawson! Honorable mention goes to Olivia Brown ("Miami Vice"); Ed Begley, Jr. ("St. Elsewhere"); and Lynne Thigpen ("Where in the World is Carmen Santiago").
I loved this movie when I was young. Owned it on VHS and made every boyfriend I had over the years watch it. 😂 I met Michael Parè and can vouch he is more beautiful in person. I own it digitally now. :)
I remember reading an interview with the director of Streets Of Fire. He described the movie like this. The Queen of the Hop is taken by The Leader Of The Pack. Soldier Boy comes to save her. It was, indeed a rock-n-roll fable. It was set in the early to mid 50’s. The Korean War was raging, which explains Amy Madigan’s character as a veteran of the Korean War. Michael Pare’s character is a veteran of the Korean War. Rock-n-Roll music was a new phenomenon. Leather, lace, blood and fire. That was evident in the entire film. “I got guns. Lots of ‘em. I’ll be comin’ for her. And I’ll be comin’ for you, too.”-Raven Great film.
The soundtrack from this movie is incredible. This might be one of the rare times HD Films picked the wrong song to go with. While I can Dream About you got the most FM airplay, the two big Jim Steinman songs Nowhere Fast and Tonight is What It Means To Be Young are the real movie defining ones. While a box office bomb the movie has a cult following. And it’s distinct “Nightime Retro Future” styling would be picked up and mainstreamed by the likes of Tim Burton, and Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. What most think of as Gotham City was inspired by this.
@@seanraines5871 The movie ain't much but the music was a few classes above. Go look up Tonight is What It Means To Be Young and Nowhere Fast, they are way above the standard for the screenplay.
I was a bartender in a Disco at this time. This tune, Billie Jean, and Love to Love You Baby were our glassware pickup songs. Everyone would hit the dance floor and the cocktail waitresses could finally get through to clear tables. Those days were AWESOME!!!
The song first appeared in Streets of Fire, where it was performed by the fictional group The Sorels. The actual voice behind the version used in the film was Winston Ford, but Hartman's version was the one used on the soundtrack album and released as a single. In a Songfacts interview with the film's musical director, Kenny Vance, he recalled that "the same guy who sings the song and "Countdown to Love", a song I wrote for the movie, was a guy who worked at Radio Shack (Winston Ford), and I think when you look at the movie and the Sorels are singing it live in the movie, that was the version that was supposed to come out, and I recorded that version, but when Dan Hartman heard it, I don't know what happened next, but I know he took that guy's voice and put his own in, and he had a hit with it. Hollywood is a very slippery place."[
Wow. Didn't know that Diane Lane was so beautiful like this during her younger days. She got a looks, vibes of Phobe cates, Demi moore, Brooke shields or Katie holmes.
I have to check out this obviously insane movie one of these days. It's one of those movies that shouldn't exist, yet there it is! Of course no streaming service has it. 😢
For 40 years I thought Dan Hartman was the man in the video That’s in fact Stoney Jackson. I never saw a photo of Hartman till the other day and found out totally different person. This is really the only song and video that I knew of Hartman. Didn’t realize was connected to many other bands, artists by his writing and singing, like Edgar Winter Group. Free Ride was lead singer.
This was one of those incredibly rare forays into the spellbinding story behind rock and roll and how it plays out in the streets. A stellar cast was brought together by Walter Hill and his incredible eye for detail. "Rock and Roll Fable" was the perfect description. Diane Lane was stunning, but so were the other actors. Hill had a way of extracting career-defining performances out of his actors and this was no exception. Did the same thing with The Warriors.
"Rock Star" 2001, Mark Wallberg & Jennifer Aniston. "Almost Famous" 2000, Kate Hudson Playing Sweet Connie. Are two of the best.😉 Warriors was a great movie. Desperately seeking Susan was a great look at the 80's. Pretty in pink. Valley Girl, too.
Movie was panned but I always enjoyed the heck out of it. A lot of talent involved - Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, Rick Moranis, Wilem DeFoe, Robert Townsend and Michael Pare
The bar band in this film, The original Blasters deserved more than they got in their time together. Just a great American band with true American styles of music all wrapped up into a nice bundle.
I saw this movie when it first came out and I have watched it more than any other movie ever. To me it is the perfect movie if you just want to check out and be entertained. Really impressive cast and the ageless Diane Lane was perfect

Diane... a true beauty. 👍 ❤

@@brutusofnn Story means nothing when you have Willam Defoe in tight leather outfits!!
@@lolopotatoes9397And that hair do.
😆
💯. Hard not to fall for her. Especially in this movie. Absolutely stunning.
How did this song NOT win the Oscar???? Great movie and cast, too. Diane Lane is DROP-DEAD-BEAUTIFUL!!
Everything about it was great except the actual script. all the good parts are in this vid.
@@MrMatt3046 imho the songs were the only good thing about this movie. Despite Diane Lane and Willem Dafoe!
@@MrMatt3046 Correction, all the good parts were in the music lol. Only.
I loved it & yes Diane Lane is DROP-DEAD-BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Stupid story with a total fantasy script and some of the best music of the 1980s.
This will always be one of my top Rock-N-Roll movies.
And as everyone has stated, Diane Lane is fabulous in this movie (and in life).
I watch it at least once a year. The music will always pull me back.
A movie is nothing without a memorable soundtrack
And this one dances through my memory constantly 💖
The full soundtrack from this movie is amazing. Diane Lane is fantastic. And a very early Willem Dafoe being his most Willem DaFoe'iest. The only thing that drags it down a little is its lead is a bit wooden.
schindlers list
@@andrewtaylor940 Looks like I finally found someone that likes to play as rough as I do... This cast was a who's who of future stars.
It was one of the early VHS-HI tapes. Hook up the VHS to the stereo and play it thru speakers the size of a small refrigerators.
Over the top, super slick 80's thing... But I can testify...they 80's were awesome.
All movies for that matter!
I love this song, I had no idea that it was even written for a movie until recently. Rest in peace, Dan Hartman.
Dan the man, dude had soul
He sang on Edgar Winter's "Free Ride." What a talented man. RIP Dan.
I’ve got this song in my iPhone favorites. I saw the movie when it came out.
Underrated movie! Great!..
@@Peter1999Videos😊
Diane Lane was so gorgeous. RIP Dan Hartman, legendary singer
Was? She still is in my opinion.
She is and still gorgeous and is my dream girl then and now
As a young woman her face was perfect ---- not a single flaw
Streets of Fire, Rumblefish and the Outsiders. Diane was the ultimate smoke show back then.
@@dougthompson5449
Still beautiful
Lots of stars in this flick. Very underrated movie
I adore this song. And after moving to the UK in 1993, I finally found someone else who knows the song & film: after 31 years! Dan Hartman is so under-rated.
80's was great decade, music, prosperity, etc ...
Give anything to go back for one week🥲
I hear that! Amen brother!
The best...
As a now 56 yr old man, I love my movies from the 80's. Glaring plot holes, but some great soundtracks. I still just absolutely love Diane Lane.
I love this song, I'll have to re watch the movie, Diane Lane was so beautiful in it.
I loved this movie back as a teen in the 80"s. This song is so awesome! Michael Pare was so handsome and Diane Lane, so pretty!
Let's not forget a young William Dafoe.
Movie was absolutely awesome from start to finish. Love it so much.
The movie had a slow start at the box office back in the day but became legendary over the years.
A lot of movies are like that.
2023...this opus brings back beautiful memories of my youth...Appreciated!
This song, Diane Lane, and Willem Defoe as a mad biker. This movie couldn't fail
It did flop.
This movie had it all...great acting...great music and the 80's vibe! One of my favorite movies!
Without a doubt this is one of the Top 5 songs of the 80s. Just think how many times you have sang it. Rock on.
Coolness Diane Lane is a fantastic actress and Amy Madigan too along with Rick Moranis and Michael Pare great actors rest in peace Dan Hartman
As well as Willem Dafoe, Bill Paxton, and voice actor E.G. Daily ('The Rugrats!' Tommy Pickles).
One of my all time favourite movies! Michael Parè, Diane Lane, Willem Dafoe and Rich Moranis!!! With lead songs written by the late Jim Steinman. Just Epic, for sure an "Rock and roll fable" forever in my heart!
I had forgotten this song until now, and it's such a good one too. It was everywhere back in the mid-80's. Thanks!
Love this song. One of the best of all time. Diane Lane has never looked hotter and Michael Paré was at his peak. Unfortunately he wasn't picked to be a leading man after this... our loss.
Really great. The 80's were magical!
If i had to pick one PERFECT MOVIE from the 80s THIS would be IT... SO underrated... That romantic scene where Ellen and Tom kissed in the rain STILL gives me goosebumps... Enlisted a few weeks after.... watch the movie hundreds of times STILL have the video cassette.
I only watched this for the first time about 5 years ago but it left such an impression on me. Bought it as a steelbook on blu.
One of my FAV movies of the 80s!!! it was totally underrated and this concert scene was the best! I had such a crush on the dude who was singing LOL! great movie great decade.
All of the song from this soundtrack of the streets of fire still blows me away!!!
Good movie ✨ beautiful song.
R.I.P. Dan Hartman.
rip dan
i remember this movie getting crushed by critics....but i didnt care...i loved it
and what a cast
Music was good, cast was good, sets and costumes good. The story and script were not good. All the other things cannot make up for a bad script.
I've seen this movie countless times- it's a classic with cool characters and songs. I've recommended it to various and sundry folks, ALL who've given it 2 thumbs up!
Who ever thought we'd miss the 80s?
Only those of us that actually lived it
The weird thing about the 80's is that I was a teen then and thought that the "good times" would always last and it would keep going forever --- but in the 90's I saw foreboding signs like the angry tone of grunge and the the school shootings of the late 90's and then finally 9/11 and I knew our society would no longer be the happy and optimistic culture we had in the 80's
All of us who were there
I never stopped.
That's why I listen to "The Midnight". You might wanna check it out.😊
[Verse 1]
No more timing
Each tear that falls from my eyes
I`m not hiding the remedy
To cure this old heart of mine
[Chorus]
I can dream about you
If I can`t hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
I can dream about you
If I can`t hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
[Verse 2]
Moving sidewalks
I don`t see under my feet
Climbing up from down here below
Where the streets
See me lonely for you, oh
[Chorus]
I can dream about you
If I can`t hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
[Verse 3]
(I can dream about you)
I`m gonna press
My lips against you
And hold you to me
(I can dream about you)
You know you got me
Spellbound
What else can it be?
Moving sidewalks
I don`t see under my feet
Climbing up from the pain in my heart
Cause it`s you that I need
I can dream
Whoa
Oh, oh, oh
I can dream
Yes, I can dream
Whoa
Oh, oh, oh
I don`t understand it
Can`t keep my mind off loving you
(Not even for a minute)
Oooh
Now baby
I`m caught up in the magic
I see in you
There`s one thing to do
[Chorus]
I can dream about you
If I can`t hold you tonight
I can dream about you
You know how to hold me just right
Oh, I can dream about you
If I can`t hold you tonight
I can dream about you
Oh, I can dream
I can dream
I can dream about you
I can dream about you
Great song. Takes me back to happy and simple days.
Diane Lane was just ONE of my early loves.
Brilliant film and fantastic soundtrack, never gets old
I don´t remember the day my first son was born, but I do remember the day when I saw this movie the first time. Long time ago.
Wow, It is 40 years since I saw this movie. It takes me back.
Fanastic Edit! Captured all the elements of the film and seamlessly blended it with this great song from the soundtrack. If only the movie was as good.
The late, great, Dan Hartman.
Awesome movie and excellent great music!!!💖🥰🎼💎🎶💯💥🔊👍

As well Rick Moranis, Michael Pare` and Deborah Van Valkenberg in their youth as well.
Oh, I loved this movie. I remember seeing this in high school. I had such a crush on Michael Paré. Those eyes. Plus, Diane Lane is forever gorgeous.
One of the BEST movies of the 80s. Was still in my 20s.

This was the great movie of its time, I remember when I went to see it at the cinema, Willem Dafoe as the bad boy hahaha, the great Dan Hartman and an incredible cast of actors, unforgettable 80s 😃
This is the most action field musical I've ever seen. I remember when the movie came out and I saw it, I went and bought the album the next day.
such a great movie and soundtrack. This probably was the first movie for Michael Paré, Diane Lane, Rick Moranis, Amy Madigan, Willem Dafoe, Deborah Van Valkenburgh, Bill Paxton - they were all great - Willem DaFoe - HUGE!

And it features one of my favorite character actors LEE VING, as one of the bikers in Dafoe's gang.
Beautiful film with the beautiful Diane Lane and Dan Hartman song just went awesome with it.

Just goes to show u the 80s was the best era for music.
FANTASTIC video!!! 80's were the BEST!!!

Houve uma época em que se faziam filmes de verdade!!!!!
mais uma das excelentes musicas dos anos80

Well Metropolis did it first about 70 years prior but....
I love this movie❤When I first saw it, I thought it's the hard edge version of Grease.
Superb props and costume and the soundtrack so so fine.
Saw it when it came out. Great movie.

One of my all-time favorite movies wish they would have made a part 2
What a great movie soundtrack!
Eu adoro este canal, só tem música legal de filmes ótimos. parabéns!

“DAN HARTMAN” R.I.P. 🙏
Feels like yesterday I was watching this movie with my date back in 1984. Wow! 40 years went by so quick like the “Wink of a young girl's eye” 😉

Absolute banger!

You need to check out “Lonesome Dove.” The mini-series. Trust me.
I have to check out this obviously insane movie one of these days. It's one of those movies that shouldn't exist, yet there it is! Of course no streaming service has it. 😢
Great edit! 😍
The writer and director of this movie were brilliant. Can’t believe it didn’t win Academy Awards.
I remember seeing this movie at the theater during the summer of 84'
I know this is a Dan Hartman song but I always think of Stoney Jackson when I hear it
As you should lol
@@blakejarvis5302 considering Stoney didn’t actually sing anything that’s kinda funny.
For 40 years I thought Dan Hartman was the man in the video That’s in fact Stoney Jackson. I never saw a photo of Hartman till the other day and found out totally different person. This is really the only song and video that I knew of Hartman. Didn’t realize was connected to many other bands, artists by his writing and singing, like Edgar Winter Group.

Diane Lane was heartbreakingly beautiful here but the tough blonde gal was my favorite character LOL! Loved her lines
Amy Madigan … she is fabulous in this film !!
To this day, never seen this movie, but man I remember loving this video when it came on and I always watched it.
I haven't heard this song since I was a teen. Legendary.
Great job and selection of song.

One of the greatest songs of the 80s hands down
Michael Pare - absolutely gorgeous !!!
Forgot all about this gem. Thanks for posting it.
The bar band in this film, The original Blasters deserved more than they got in their time together. Just a great American band with true American styles of music all wrapped up into a nice bundle.
Girls in the 80s had great hair. Plus they had a lot of fun teen movies. Glad I was in my teens and 20s in that decade.
I saw this movie when it first came out and I have watched it more than any other movie ever. To me it is the perfect movie if you just want to check out and be entertained. Really impressive cast and the ageless Diane Lane was perfect
this and the warriors, peak 80s movie magic. not much tops this and the song is a total hit.
Nice video. I have to catch that movie. Never heard of it.
One of my favorite films of all time…..just that simple!
