An absolute gem of a movie. A true rock n roll fairy tale and easily in my top 10 of favorite films of all time. It's so simple in structure and dialogue yet it is the only movie of its kind (that I know of). 80s music set in a 50s world, goons that terrorize a small town, clear cut villain and hero who fight for a rock n roll 'princess' and two constantly bickering sidekicks. It sounds so formulaic, but it is different from anything you have seen before. A true classic that proves once again that you don't need a 100 million dollar production to do something special. Oh and the music... it's so good. 'Nowhere fast' and 'Tonight is what it means to be young' will make you wanna steal a car and wring it out.

Maybe I'm a sucker, but I love this movie! Great music, a good story, graphic novel style violence, 50's Greasers mixed with 80's punk. Just a lot of fun to watch.

This movie is so unusual and so odd. The acting is wooden and the script is terrible, but this film is like a train wreck that you can't take your eyes away from the screen because it is that intriguing. I will also give props to the soundtrack as the music is quite good and rather catchy.

Thanks to an interesting mix of 50s and 80s aesthetics, a few resounding slaps, and a multitude of exploding motorcycles, “Streets of Fire” never gets boring. It certainly helps that the movie opens with a concert sequence that is a real banger. Once the story gets going, it does wear a little thin, but never to the point of being really distracting. The latter also applies to lead actor Michael Paré's wooden acting, which somehow fits the movie's mood quite well. Meanwhile, Willem Dafoe proved to be able to convincingly portray psychopathic characters early on in his career. And with Diane Lane, Amy Madigan, and Deborah Van Valkenburgh, there are even a few interesting female characters. If you haven't seen “Streets of Fire” yet, you should definitely catch up, especially if you have a soft spot for 80s films.

Streets of Fire is like a feature-length Jim Steinman music video (admittedly not that big of a stretch), which makes all the sense in the world considering the singer/songwriter's cinematic bent. Steinman penned the opening and closing songs (one of which is the anthem “Tonight Is What It Means t More
