I watched this movie first time when I was ten years old. As I watch it 43 years later, it still scares the booble out of me. The mannikin, with those eggs, movement face, & the culprit of all Anthony Hopkins. I had an uncle who looked a lot like a young Anthony Hopkins. They were visiting us & my uncle loves his hugs, I just couldn't let him. I ran & climbed up a tennis court fence 12 ft up away from him. The strange truth can't be told. I am a survivor of #abuse. I never know what triggers me, but it's has taken over my life. People don't realize how awful it is to be abused as a 4-8 yr old girl. My family saw all the signs yet they did nothing. Red flags all over the place, my mother was a clinical social worker, able to find children whose family life is or might be dangerous. All along hers was dangerous & she did nothing to stop it.

A Beacon for all of us to join in. Great Work!

This is most assuredly a golden oldie. Matthew Modine plays a tunnel focused wrestler on a "Vision Quest" said by co-star Michael Scherfling (16 Candles Jake Ryan) who wants to wrestle "Shoot" the top wrestler in the state @ a weight of 168lb. He is a tall kid that can easily win the next weight of 174, but he wants a shot & shoot. Michael is a mohawked wrestling teammate, half Native American, wife Madonna's breakthrough part as a singer in the movie. Loudon Swain becomes infamous for wanting Shoot. When you see Shoot with a huge log over his shoulder 2 stepping stadium stairs, you see a monster. It's well worth the watch, & has one of the best movie soundtracks for 1980's.

Anyone that missed out on Mister Rogers I am sad for, there should be a new one.
