Why isn’t Vision Quest recognized as on of the best 80’s movies? It has the obligatory early Madonna track, the fetching seductress Linda Fiorentino, a young and vulnerable Matthew Modine… all wrapped in a story about overcoming insurmountable odds on a wrestling mat, and in the bedroom. A young Forest Whitaker can also be found on the same wrestling team as Jake from Sixteen Candles. Today’s generation is stuck with farcical romps about cheer camp and unrealistic tales of gridiron glory. They’ll never know what they missed.

BTW, Rest in Peace John Hughes…
