    It remains one of the most wrenching films about adolescent angst, thanks largely to the performance of Phil Daniels.

    Sting, as the weekend super-Mod whose image collapses when he's revealed to work as a bellhop, cuts a slick dash in the dancehall sequences.
  3. Roddam's minor but imaginative 1979 movie.
  4. 75
    Plays more like a gritty, episodic British independent film powered by a soundtrack of Who songs that illuminate the main character's turbulent emotions.
