How old were you when you first saw this movie?

This movie might be the oldest memory I have of myself watching a film on television. Since it came out in 1987, I suppose it aired on tv in 1989... which means I was 7 when I fist saw this movie. I haven't seen it ever since. But I can remember a few scenes. It's funny I was thinking about it recently, and I had no idea what was the name of this movie, but IMDb had a link on the 1980's best kiss scene, and this movie ranked No 1. That is when I recognized the picture of the actors. I'm glad I can finally put a name on this movie. I'll definitely watch it again sometime.

15. Loved it then and love it now.

It was not, after all, so easy to die.

i was 17 and still watch it today . I love looking back at those great 80s movies and look to see what happened to most of the actors.. especially the extras.. This movie used and created alot of good actors that either went on or where already in the spot light ..

I was 9 when it came out and I didn't see it in theaters so I must have been 10 or 11 when I saw this. I identified with Watts character. I really love this movie. All the actors were great.

I saw this in the theater when I was a freshman in high school. I had a crush on Eric Stolz. I was so psyched about the movie that I read the book first in anticipation (they used to release somewhat poorly-written paperbacks for potential teen blockbusters back in the '80s).

Ya know, I don't actually remember when I first saw 'SKOW' but all I know is the second after I saw it, I bought it on DVD. It was...no IS AMAZING. I guess if I had to estimate how old I was, I'd probably say 10 or 11. I'm 17 now, so it's been quite a while. Haha.

p.s. Old movies (made in the 80s or 90s) are SOOOOOOOOO much better than the ones made today. SO. MUCH. BETTER.
