Richard D'Ambrosio An absolutely wonderful movie that is still one of the best-kept secrets of 1980s cinema. Being a Philadelphian, I love this movie if for no other reason that our city is rarely featured in period piece films. The producers of "The In Crowd" got most of the nuances of 1960s Philadelphia correct-the red police cars, shopping at Gimbel's (they went to the Cheltenham store), adults listening to WIP on the radio(although the announcer they used for it, Ed Hurst, never worked at WIP),and Vicki wearing a Phillies' jacket with the proper "P" logo of that time. Furthermore, the exterior of the school that Vicki attended is Little Flower High School, one of the three all-girls high schools in Philadelphia. Del's school, Cheltenham High, is the alma mater of hall of famer Reggie Jackson, who, according to the time period of the movie, had just graduated the year before. I think the train station the kids hung out in was the Wayne Junction station, but I could be wrong. The movie is wholesome and engaging. The characters are such that you really care about what happens to them. It's a shame they don't make movies like this anymore.Treat yourself and watch this, regardless of your age. Give this 5 stars!!

jmes-2 The In Crowd is definitely one of my all time favorite movies. Watching this is a "time machine" for me. It takes me back to those days watching dance shows every afternoon. (Anyone remember Cam Nelson (?) dancing on L. A. TV every afternoon? - don't remember the show) The story line is a bit weak, but the dancing, music, simplicity of the time strike home with me ... it takes me back to that era when I was a teenager in So. Cal. ...I lucked out many years ago at a Laserdisc store that was going out of business -- found a rental LD that was for sale .. one of the best investments of my life! Converted it to DVD and now watch it half a dozen times a year ...I suggest that if you have the opportunity, take a chance and watch it -- accept it for what it is -- a dancing TV show in a simpler time with great music and dancing ... you might waste an hour and a half or you might be completely entertained ...Oh, BTW -- Jennifer Runyon -- will you please marry me? :) Regards, J

oyerbides I caught this one while channel searching. At first I simply took a look and then moved on but I found myself coming back and by about the third trip back I was hooked. Yeah it's a little campy and it is a dance movie but I found myself wanting to watch and even dance a little. It is a heartfelt coming of age movie for a young man growing up in the 50 - 60's. Teen love, angst, peer pressure, and the desire to find out who we really are; this movie has it all. I even tried to find it 2nd-hand to buy. I recomend it to anyone who remembers what teen life is all about.

Lizzy_C Donovan Leitch (model, actor, glam rock singer of the band "Nancy Boy", brother of actress Ione Skye "Say Anything", and son of 60's singer Donovan) is totally hot, and he is great in this movie! Especially his dancing! A must see for any fan of Dono, of 80's films, or of the 60's! Plus the music is great!
