Dance 'Til Dawn

This movie is the best teen movie ever made. The first time i watched it i was a kid. I used to watch it all the time Back then it became my favorite movie. I couldn't get enough of Kevin McCrea, but today I've noticed it wasn't only the beautiful actors that made the movie. The movies of today cannot even be compared to Dance til Dawn Dance till Dawn was a classic, even though it was modern. And it still is today. It's a movie u can sit down and enjoy without any obscene language.

It has its comedy, as well as romance. It's a great movie, and the whole family will enjoy it.

I saw this movie when I was a little girl. As movies that appear on TV, most people don't remember a week later. This movie stood out in my mind, and years later, I found out that it was appearing on a cable channel. I immediately found a blank tape and taped the movie. One night, I mentioned it to my husband, and he asked to see the movie. It became a favorite with him, and we've watched it more than once.

If you're looking for a good '80's movie, this is one to see. You'll see all the old stars that were in your favorite TV shows, and some stars that are still in movies and TV today, such as Matthew Perry, who currently stars on Friends.

Motion picture companies weren't the only one's cashing in on the success of teen films. NBC tried it's hand at it as well. Some of the films included High School USA with Michael J. Fox, Poison Ivy once again with Fox, Combat High with Keith Gordon, Class Cruise with Billy Warlock, Crash Course with a host of many teen stars, and this little teen gem called Dance 'til Dawn.

This film is not bad at all. It has many of the teen stars from the 80s and early 90s. Many notable adult stars make appearances as well, such as Alan Thicke and Kelsey Grammar. So that makes the film a watchable and enjoyable experience. Unlike many failed made for TV movie comedies, this one has lots of charm and heart. The writing is well done for a teen flick. I must've laughed lots during the film. I remember seeing this back in high school and 11 years later I still love it.

By the way, here is a little bit of fascinating trivia. Some of the music for the film was written and performed by 80s one hit wonder Michael Sembello ("Maniac"). I didn't know that until the movie was on again this past weekend. Billy Morrisette makes a small appearance as a kid who works in the video store.

NBC of course doesn't make TV movie teen comedies like this anymore. Still, if you can find this one in the video store by all means, give it a try. You can see what the Hollywood version of a high school prom is like.

This was my absolute favorite movie as a young teen. We taped it on our VCR and my sister and I watched it so much, and drove my mom so crazy with it, that my mom actually had to take it away from us.

We pretty much had it memorized line for line...and when we quoted it, even stretched out our words when Margaret is talking to the guy in the video store...because our tape was so used it stretched out and slurred the words.

We still refer to the movie sometimes. In fact, I know that we have some lingo that we use that came from the movie. I don't think I go through a fast food drive-through without remembering Shelly and Dan at the drive-through ordering all that food. It's a movie that has just really stuck with me as I've grown up.

I'm 30 now and just ordered the DVD and can't wait to see it again -- it'll be like a reunion with old friends!!!

Many TV stars from the 1980s show up in this movie about a senior prom and the various problems happening to the different characters. Kelsey Grammer is a hoot as Tracey Gold's overprotective father, as is Edie McClurg as his wife. Brian Bloom plays a sleazeball very well. If you were in high school during the 80s, especially, you'll get a kick out of this cute little film.
