Comfort Films 26: Streets of Fire

Comfort Films 26: Streets of Fire

In honor of John's birthday week, we discuss Streets of Fire, the 1984 Walter Hill film taglined "A rock & roll fable."  This is our second in a series of four music-forward films, and we examine whether Streets of Fire can properly be called a musical, why it doesn't have a broader audience (and why it should), and the many reasons why John counts this film, which he estimates he's seen over a hundred times, as his #1 movie overall.
