I nominate one of my favorite films, "Quadrophenia"....sorry, I
don't know the distributor or studio, but it came out around 1978
or 1979. Probably some other reader can fill in the missing details.
Are there others who love this picture as I do? And does anyone
know if it's available on video?

ension.
