highly recommended

Recently orphaned Corrine Third Degree Burns (a 14-year-old Diane Lane) enlists her cousin (Laura Dern) and sister (Marin Kanter) to launch a punk rock band The Stains. Three rehearsals later The Stains score the opening slot on a cross-country tour with aging metal act The Metal Corpses (led by Fee Waybill of The Tubes) and British punk rockers The Looters (real-life punk pioneers Paul Simonon from The Clash and Steve Jones & Paul Cook of The Sex Pistols). The Stains meteoric rise (and equally lightening-quick fall) owes more to TV exposure than to talent. Cynical commentary on teen angst and rampant consumerism or prescient allegory for today s pop scene?Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DRAMA/COMING OF AGE UPC: 603497981779 Manufacturer No: 511847

I freaking love this movie. mostly in part because ray winstone is in it, and he's awesome. Not to mention the songs rock, with the occasional exception.

Classic iconic flick

OK, I am not a grrrl or part of that movement but Stains stands well as a period flick from the 80s. I really enjoyed the movie (both watches) and found it easy to watch and enjoyed the undercurrents and hidden/clear meanings from 20 years hence.

prescient glimpse from early 80's

This was a random purchase, as I had never heard of it. What a find! I'll skip a review of plot, as others have covered that extensively.

As the Lane/Dern commentary makes clear, this was not a reaction to the trends of the times, apart from the tacked-on ending, filmed two years later. Mostly filmed in February 1980, it actually predated the rise of so-called girl bands (e.g., go-gos, bangles, etc.) and hard-core mass manipulation that exploded at that time. Put CNN, growth of cable, computers and MTV together and look out society! Watching the throngs of "skunks" in the mall, with their look-alike "stains" outfits predicted the "Madonna wannabe" trend that hit a few years later. This movie gets huge bonus points for predicting the future dead on.
