They were a wonderful group ( may still be ). We employed them to play at our high school function in 1971.
Surprised they went on and did Soundtracks! Hurray ! 
Amazing that RP plays such a quality variety.

We get a dozen photos of Phoebe Cates for "Moving in Stereo" but zero gifs of Rebecca De Mornay for this one?

it was pretty good. i hear this one and always remember "that scene." quite interesting. i can't remember if this film, TAPS, or All  The Right Moves was the first film i saw cruise in back in those days...

It's certainly one of Tom Cruise's best films.

At the end of this month I am going to enjoy another Concert by Tangerine Dream. Electronic Music that along with that of Klaus Shulze, Kraftwerk and many others has continued to fascinate me for 40 years.🎼🎹🔊😎

It's similar in the "pulsating" style rhythm, different sort of composition though.

I see some resemblance in the young Tom Cruise "Joel" character and the young Dustin Hoffman "Ben" character.

Interesting that they would be cast as brothers later in "Rain Man".

"Get off the babysitter, Joel."

There was a movie a few years ago that looked like a fun modern-day version of RB, but it fell fairly flat towards the end. RB and The Graduate had strong social commentary behind the coming-of-age humor. Movies these days can't juggle that many balls.

On an almost unrelated note, if you ever wanted a Porsche 928 then now is a good time. Prices seem to have bottomed out. Running/driving cars that need some attention are going for about $5-6K. The best ones go for for $15-25. Expect to pay a little more for the 4-cam engines and/or the 5-speed (about %80 of them sent to North America are automatics).

They're still expensive cars to maintain, however. Don't pick up any of the sub-$5000 cars unless you're a mechanic, it'll probably need $10K worth of repairs.

Hey Bill,

nice "love" segue...

I also think I hear Beck's "Think I'm in Love" having basically the same chord progression as "Love on a Real Train" that followed...

I like this a lot - but it's a total steal from Steve Reich's "Music for 18 Musicians" - one of my desert island discs.

And I agree with "Guido (Joey Pants) is easily the strongest character in the film" - which is why the movie takes its dark turn when he shows up to spoil the lighthearted fun.

Hardly a 'cowardly weaselly sleazball', Guido (Joey Pants) is easily the strongest character in the film. "In a repressed economy, never ever **** with another mans livelyhood"

I am a fan of Tangerine Dream, though I hadn't previously heard their Risky Business soundtrack... I highly recommend their Legend soundtrack... tried to upload my favourite song ("The Dance") to RP a while back to share, but bitrate was too low...

Putting this next to Beck was genius. Tangerine Dream sounds like Tangerine Dream and I enjoy their album. Beck sounds like Beck yet I don't feel compelled to buy his stuff. (I like Beck just in easy doses)

I took a screenwriting class and was informed that the script for Risky Business is, in writerly circles, cited as an example of a "perfect" screenplay, and is highly highly revered. I guess plausability does not factor into their rating process. :)

Hmmm, well, dunno about that. I mean, yes, the plot does get a bit out of bounds for those head shaking filmgoers who shine the interrogation light on what is credible, "logical." But many of the themes, attitudes, and settings of this film are accurate reflections of a consumer driven society. Essentially, this film was a quieter satire, better taken as a whole than for dissection of script mechanics.

Well, the page below has 156 listed on it -- I don't actually know how many are true albums vs. EPs etc., but any way you look at it, it's impressive. When I went to their concert, there was a guy in front of me wearing one of their t-shirts from a previous concert, and on the back of it was a huge long list. At first I thought it was the standard shirt with concert dates on the back, and then I realized they were albums! https://www.connollyco.com/discography/tangerine_dream/
