My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Quadrophenia (1979)

Rebel With A Cause and The Wild One: the UK version based on the sound track of The Who.  That pretty much sums up this captivating film about a teenage Brit dealing with the angst of growing up and the desire to fight the norms of society.    Jimmy does drugs, deals with a crush he has for a girl named Steph, parties hard, gets into fights and takes a trip down to Brighton with his Mod bikers and gets in a riot.  It's great entertainment if you like watching immature anti-heroes.  Oh, and there's Sting as the ultra cool biker that Jimmy idolizes from afar.  Grade: B+
