  Thank god for larger televisions. This gem is gorgeous all around and the longer running time was never a challenge. I can see a direct connection between this and films like Raiders of the Lost Ark and Star Wars. It provides essentially the same thrills.

  Edgeplay: A Film About The Runaways 2004

  ★★★★ Added

  In light of Jackie Fox's rape accusations pointed at a now deceased Kim Fowley, this film's meaning changes a bit. Former band members only hint at sexual abuse here but there is pain behind those eyes. Joan's absence speaks volumes.

  The best movie dealing with how the alcoholism of individuals condems those around them. This one has stayed with me years after seeing it and I often point to it as a turning point in how I think about drinking.
