A zillion years ago the town I grew up in finally got cable. The remote was wired and the selection, although better and clearer than what was available via the rabbit ears and tinfoil extensions, had a lot to be desired. BUT...I remember a movie called "Over The Edge" starring a very young Matt Dillon - he was a punk in a small planned community with "youth issues". I loved the flick, and I just came into an article on OVER THE EDGE - An Oral History of the Greatest Teen Rebellion Movie of All Time and an accompanying thread at Metafilter - The Greatest Teen Exploitation Flick - it also points to the flick, carefully embedded in YouTube in 10 segments, but with "iffy" quality. Still worth a watch...
BTW - The music in the flick was AWESOME! Cheap Trick, Hendrix... good times!
