80's Movie Weekend

It's been almost 15 years since River Phoenix died of a drug overdose... this movie was the first time I remember seeing him kind of grown up even though he had been in "Stand by Me" a few years ealier... this was also a movie I remember seeing with a girl in high school I had a huge crush on at the time... from 1988 - "A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon"...

The trailer...



Here's part one of the movie (the person that posted this, posted the rest of the movie as well on youtube in case you want to just watch the whole thing!)...
