What town...???

I sadly do not know where this movie is set, sorry.

Though I am happy to report that my sisters (I have three of them) and I all GREATLY enjoy this movie. It really is one of the most fabulous movies of the 80's. I may just have sisters with excellent taste, that's all.

I'm not good or real... I'm evil, and imaginary

Marrj- I hear ya, not alot my my friends truly appreciated the power and spiritually of this movie. This still is one of my favorite shows of all time. This show soo reminds me of my adolesence, growing up, its one of those shows that makes you feel real good inside.

Yep I've never met anyone who liked this movie but me. Either they don't know it or think it's just another teen movie. Like another poster said, I just love the spirituality portrayed in the film and also the unique direction and cinematography - which is definitely not commom for the time it was filmed in. Also a fan of Corey Feldman's acting in it (and Haim's). They're also both great in The Burbs and Lucas respectively. Wish their careers hadn't ended so early.

Wilmington, North Carolina. The same town where Brandon Lee died while filming The Crow. Can you believe both movies were filmed in the same town?

I am the only person I know who likes that movie. But I don't just like it, I LOVE it. I think it's mostly the acting, and the little things. Like that thing that Joel does with this index fingers, that non verbal punctuation he does. The things that Bobby and Dinger say, and the way they say them. Like the part where Dinger is sitting in Joel's car, waiting for him, and he talks to himself about how every girl wants him and he should be drinking a pina colad and looking at some Hawaiin chick "Hello honey". The debate between Bobby and Dinger over whose life is rougher, ending with Bobby saying that his mom didn't go into spasticated seizuers every now and then and Dinger saying "That's rude, Mr." I EAT THAT STUFF UP!!!! It's just cool! It makes me smile, no matter what kind of mood I'm in.

Another thing I really, really like about the movie, is the scene where Bobby talks Joel out of killing Dumas. That whole speech is one of the greatest movie speeches I've ever heard. One of these days, I'm going to assemble a string of movie clips that I think contain the greatest, truest, most heroic, and most profound words ever spoken in movies. That whole speech about "Why are we all here right now? Because we're young, and when you're young every little thing seems so big..... Why do we have to take something so far that it can't be taken back again?" I put that right up there with the part in Tombstone where Doc Holiday tells Wyatt Earp that there is no normal life, there's just life, so go take that spirited actress and make her yours, and live Wyatt, live for me. And a few of the Braveheart speeches.

My favorite movies have a seech in them somewhere, where one of the actors explains something that I never fully realized before, and which makes me a braver, stronger person for having heard it.

Dream a Little Dream, is, I think, an important movie for that reason, and I think that one speech at least should be required viewing for every teenager.

I say this movie is not merely a good movie, but a great movie, that everyone needs to see.

Clevland is were the second one said that the first one took place.

It seems most Dream a Little Dream fans feel the need to spread the joy. I have shown this to everyone I know and they all don't get it/hate it. If you meet someone who likes this movie, you're friends for life.
