Watch Vision Quest For Free

You won't be disappointed!

Wonderful Movie

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

As a high School wrestler in the late 70s, I went to see this Movie on opening day, I sat threw it twice, and was mesmerized by the training, the team building Indian Run gave me chills, and in the end You rely on only yourself to win against your opponent, I remember our Coach was always quite during matches, he told me the opposing Wrestler could always hear what was every said, I have now followed High School and College Wrestling for 50 years, and still remember why I won and lost most of my matches. Wrestling the Perfect Sport!

Whenever I view a film, afterwards I ask myself the question, "could I have made a better movie at the time?" The answer for me, for "Vision Quest", is no! Vision Quest has a fantastic script, a bunch of talented actors, and smart direction. I'm not sure why it is ranked so mediocre on here, but that's a serious mistake. This is a GREAT film, that is especially poignant for older adolescent viewers. I highly recommend you watch "Vision Quest"!

This is one of my favorite films of all time! I'm surprised that John G. Avildsen didn't direct this! Sometimes I think this is inspired by "The Karate Kid" (1984)!The plot: Our Daniel LaRusso is a respectful teenager named Louden Swain has a good attitude and a love for wrestling who just turned 18. He plans on wrestling the state's toughest wrestler, Shute, our Johnny Lawrence! Along the way, he lets a 21-year-old girl named Carla, our Ali Mills, to stay in his house. However, he falls in love with her and gets distracted from the wrestling training!This is one of my top 20 favorite movies of all time and I think it deserves to be on one of the 250 movies on IMDb!

Linda Fiorentino pretty much debuted as the love interest to Matthew Modine in this film, Vision Quest, which is an odd title for a film anyway. It was also entitled Crazy for You based on Madonna's song for the movie. Both Madonna and Fiorentino were still new at the time. The writing for this story is bit predictable. Matthew plays a wrestler and Linda plays the object of his affections. The film is directed by Harold Becker who also has a great soundtrack to the movie. I love the music which are perfect choices and the sounds of the music keep playing in her your ears. It's predictable but worthy to watch over and over again. Keep watching it and you'll learn to become nostalgic for a time that MTV played music videos and you were young again. They filmed where they set the story in Spokane, Washington. They don't do that anymore. They film elsewhere you know and say it's the real thing. Anyway, Linda's role of Carla was a drifter from New Jersey. It turns out that Linda herself is from the same area of New Jersey herself. Matthew Modine seems a bit older to play a teenager but then again it always seemed like older people playing young like Beverly Hills 90210. Also it was nice to see Forest Whitaker in a very small role as one of the other wrestlers on the team. He should get an Oscar nomination this year. Harold Sylvester plays the English teacher who befriends Carla and he is better known for his role as the shoe salesman sidekick on Married with Children. Ronny Cox plays Louden's dad. A funny name, Louden Swain, but anyway the film has great music. They filmed on location in Spokane, and for a film debut, Linda was good. We miss you and we're waiting for your comeback.
