I was able to find the movie I wanted with no problem and a reasonable price.Movie Review: "I'm gonna drop down to 168 and wrestle Shute."
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, you dont have to have been a wrestler to enjoy this movie. If you were, you'll give this 5 stars, if you werent you'll give it a solid 4 for the humor, nostalgia, and the soundtrack featuring Madonna, Journey, and one hit wonder Red Ryder's "Lunatic Fringe."
Modine plays Louden Swain, an ambitious senior wrestler with lofty goals who "almost went the distance" his first year who decides that dropping 2 weight classes to wrestle the beast multi-state champ Shute is part of his master plan for world domination. Not everybody is down with his plan, but the affable Modine eventually wins everybody over while being mentored by his philsophic chef pal who gives one of the most stirring pep talks on the subject of soccer you are ever likely to hear. Linda Fiorentino drops in as a house guest to further fuel Louden's testosterone driven urges and incent him to make his goals a reality which IMHO is true film greatness.
Fans hunger for another 5, 10, 15 minutes following the ultimate showdown between Louden and Shute but I personally think the film ends on que. Its terrific, and shows few signs of age even with the smarmy 80's pop ringing in the background. A minor masterpiece. 5 Elmos
Movie Review: Great wrestling movie!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of my husband's favorite movies and so he bought it for our teenage son to watch because he wrestles also. Great for someone who is into wrestling. There are not many movies about this topic, so it's a great find.Movie Review: Wrestling movie that pleases
Summary: 4 Stars
"Vision Quest", from 1985, is a wrestling movie that grabs your attention and holds it. The film is well-cast and is headed up by a likeable young Matthew Modine. More than a little innocent, Modine's character, Louden Swain, is a terrific set-up to take on a favored champion opponent. Reminiscent of Robby Benson's "One on One" from a few years prior, "Vision Quest" moves ahead nicely toward a charged last few minutes....the best minutes of the film. The side romance is a bit of a distraction but it is fun to see a young Madonna perform "Crazy For You". This is an appealing film and highly recommendable.
