Over The Edge[1979] Movie & Soundtrack

Over the Edge(1979) "Watch Out For The Children" Over the Edge is a movie completed in 1979 and released on HBO two years later because its controversial content led to a decision to forego a theatrical release. It stars Matt Dillon in his feature film debut. At the time, the studio thought the movie was too controversial and feared that it would spark violence, which apparently occurred with the film The Warriors(1979). Because of its depiction of teenage rebellion, marijuana and alcohol use by junior high school students, a painstakingly accurate depiction of suburban life in the late 1970s, and a rock & roll soundtrack featuring such bands as The Ramones and Cheap Trick, Over the Edge has achieved cult film status, and in turn inspired the music video for the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana . According to the director's and writer's commentary on the DVD, Over the Edge was inspired by actual events that took place in Foster City, California in the early 1970s. Those events were published in an article titled "Mouse Packs: Kids on a Crime Spree" from the San Francisco Examiner (1974). The writer of the article, Charles S. Haas, went on to co-write the screenplay The film follows a group of teenagers living in a fictional planned community called New Granada, which is isolated beyond other existing suburbs, in the nearly-treeless plains east of Denver, Colorado. Their needs were not considered by those who designed the community, and so there is nothing for them to do but go to school and hang out at the local recreation center, which closes at six o�clock. The kids turn to substance abuse and petty crime as a way to kill their boredom, but their outcry falls on deaf ears, as the adults are too concerned with pursuing wealth and stomping out the seemingly-senseless rowdy behavior to actually understand the reasons why the adolescents are acting up. After one of the kids is shot and killed by a police officer, the youths violently rebel against their parents and the authorities, an uprising that results in fiery mayhem in and around the junior high school.

Wow..I have been looking for this movie for years. I was first turned on to Cheap Trick, Van Halen, and the Cars all in one movie. I remember all the kids in my small community watched this every time it came on. We had the same problems these kids did and we dealt with them by drinking ,smoking and having sex...It really can bring back a lot of memeories.

All that info and they don't even post the dimensions of the video to determine what ratio this is. I'd have to assume it's not in any HD form.

853x480 & is in Widescreen format. About the best quality I've seen short of 720p
