This is a wonderful movie set in the 50's about a little girl who adores her neighbor who lives across the street. A GREAT movie that should be released on DVD so that everyone can enjoy.

I bought this a few days ago and so far I've watched it with my eleven year old daughter 3 times, and she has invited a half dozen freinds over, all of whom love it. Having grown up in the 50's I find this a masterpiece. Finally I got to show my daughter a real 1949 Mercury, my absolutely favorite all-time car! One of Juliette Lewis' best roles and Elisa Dushku, the actress who plays 10 year old Allie is magical. There is a dancing scene near the pier with C. Thomas Howell, Christy's punk boyfriend Ricky, that makes me cry every time. The birthday party is heartbreaking as well, my daughter had to ask how you play spin-the-bottle. The set design were masterful,with stop frame I recognize hundreds of things from my youth. The movie is an absolute work of genius!

Like everyone else I agree that this is a great film. One of the few I can watch again and again......but like everyone else I too have been searching for the title song Ruler of my Heart by Lisa Fischer and want to say I found it on Kazaa......good luck.

I am a young businessman, who rarely has time to watch old films etc. I say old films, because I amguilty of watching the latest films at the movies etc. I first saw this film probably in 1997 by chance while I was working. I thought it was quite a good film but nothing more( I WAS working @ the time!). I then saw it again about a year ago when it was on the TV, and I cant quite put my finger on it, but it moved me. I think it was that teen-angst, while remaining so true to real life that got me. Not like any of your modern TV shows, this movie is amazingly true to life. It is a well-written story, amazing cast, and extremely well directed. Although its not a huge action packed film, if you are ever spending a night in with your partner for a quiet evening, this is a film i wouldn't reccomend you miss!!!!

I have liked this movie ever since I first saw it. Since then I have watched it many many times. It's one of those movies that you just can't get sick of. The romantic escapades between Rick and Cheryl are wonderfully depicted through the eyes of a teenager. It's a funny, sad, and romantic movie that I recommend to anyone.

I thought that both the book and the movie version of "That Night" were fantastic. The way it is depicted through the eyes of a young girl really adds to the feeling of the film. If you like romantic movies, you'll love this film. C. Thomas Howell is not only gorgeous, but a great actor as well.

I loved this movie. The first time I saw it was years ago and I was in the laundrymat when it came on the t.v. And the song!!! I found the song today at this site www.downloadmp3hits.com . I'm listening to it right now yay

I've loved this movie ever since the very first time I saw it. I just wanted to say for anyone who's looking for the soundtrack that I myself have never been able to find it, and the song "Ruler of my Heart" is sung by Lisa Fischer in the movie, but I've only been able to find that song as sung by either Linda Ronstadt or Irma Thomas. I don't think the soundtrack was released in a widespread format, so it might not even be available anywhere.

This has been one of my favorite movies, I Love it!
I really can watch it over and over. It's such a good movie for a group of gals to get nice and cozy on the couch with the box of tissues because it was a real tear jerker for me.
I loved the music but I just can't seem to find the soundtrack anywhere...my favorite song is "Ruler of My Heart". If anyone knows who sings that song or how to get the soundtrack please let me know!

I've been a fan of Eliza Dushku for years. When I first heard about this film, I just had to check it out. I think C. Thomas Howell and Juliette Lewis had a great chemistry. It's one of Juliette's best role. I can't believe how cute Eliza was when she was 10. For her first film she did an incredible job. One bad thing about this movie is that is not on DVD. This movie is worth watching.
