80's Movie Weekend



This weekend's movie flashback has a nice summer feel to it. It stars a young Matt Dillon as Jeffrey, and is directed by Garry Marshall. Set in 1963, the movie about a young impressionable working class kid (Dillon) who goes to work at a beach resort called The Flamingo also stars Hector Elizondo, Richard Crenna, and Mrs. Wayne Gretzky - Janet Jones.

Here is the trailer for "The Flamingo Kid"...
