Reckless (1984)

Directed by James Foley
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Warner Archive Collection)

Aidan Quinn is the stereotypical high school loner/rebel, he wears black leather and drives a motorcycle. He falls in love with cheerleader Daryl Hannah, who lets him have his way with her when they break into the high school one night. In one scene, Quinn changes the music at the prom to a new wave song by Romeo Void and breaks into frenetic dancing with Hannah as the camera swirls around them. It is hands down the best prom dance scene ever put on film. Well, Hannah's jock boyfriend is not too happy with these developments which leads to the inevitable "big fight" at the climax.
