I must agree with everyone else that this movie was fantastic! I first bought Eddie and the Cruisers - Eddie lives on VHS....just loved the story line and the music was unbelievable!!! I had never heard of Eddie and the Cruisers the first movie until it came out on DVD and I ran out and bought a copy of it. Loved all of it as well as the music.......just one question.......WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO RELEASE EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS - EDDIE LIVES ON DVD???????????? VHS's are soon going to be out of the picture and my poor Eddie and the Cruisers - Eddie Lives on VHS is becoming so worn from being played, I won't beable to play it much longer so please............PUT IT ON DVD - so all the fans can have both copies........PLEASE!!!!!!

Can we please come out with a DVD of Eddie and the Cruisers II: Eddie Lives?? I'm dying over here!!! I beg of you...PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come out with the DVD. Everywhere I go now, it's insanely hard to find VHS' anymore. This is one of the greatest movies ever made and absolutely has the best soundtrack I've ever heard! Why isn't the DVD released yet!??! It's 2005!!!! The soundtrack is on CD already!!! Oh where oh where is the DVD??? I beg of you to come out with the sequel!!! Please!!! I'm dying here!

For those who love classic rock, this movie is a must see. Eddie Wilson personifies what a rock n' roll musician should be. It's all about the music. Like everyone else who loves this movie, I hope that the second movie, Eddie Lives, will be released on DVD soon. This is also a great movie for those who love rock music.

I'm guessing that this was a B-Movie which grew into a cult film, and I'm glad that it did!

This movie really manages to pull you into a fantasy- where Eddie Wilson was 15 years ahead of his time...and nobody can find the missing tapes, of what WOULD have been his next album- had he lived.

A news woman interviews the remaining members of Eddie's old band, to try and shine some light on the mis-understood stories, the blurred memories and complex ideas.

To enjoy this film, you have to ignore the REAL history of rock n'roll and pretend that THIS is how it went. It was well paced, the acting was good and the music fits!

As for DVD extras...you don't get very much, but that doesn't ruin this classic movie, now does it?

ROCK ON, EDDIE!!!!!

This film is a fantasy!! Pretend! And.. wonderful! Have seen it countless times and it always manages to evoke so many positive feelings, it's impossible to list. The "Editor's Review" says the story is impossible to accept- I disagree!! It's fun and I love it..again and again! No problem here!

Also have to put in my vote to those who are holding up the release of Eddie and the Cruiser's 2...what's in the way of this release? Work it out!!

I totally agree VHS is old school DVD is the new way to go.I have the original Eddie and the Crusiers on DVD and would love to have Eddie Lives on DVD. If the original can be on DVD why not Eddie II...Bring it out on DVD

This is one of those movies that I can watch over and over again and NEVER get tired of. It's just an all around great movie. A must watch for everyone!

I do think something is lacking here. The sequel is not available. Uh, would you by Star Wars and forget about the Empire Stricke Back, I think not. To the distributors, get II on the street, it will sell especially to those of us that not only like it, but also belive a set should be complete. Get the DVD to the fans.

Having read all the reviews I agree this is a great movie and I think some modern so-called musicians should take a hard look. Eddie was all about the music and the way it was created and played (even in the sequel). He wrote it and performed it as a real musician should. It had nothing to do with the show and everything to do with the quality and message the music was relaying. It may only be a movie, but it realys music of its time. Modern singers (most at least)--not musicians-- have lost sight of the meaning of musical creativity. Now it is all about putting on the show. I may be out of touch, hey I have seen STYX 5 times since they regrouped--they still get large crowds and still make music. Bands like that don't take their clothes off, don't have dance numbers, don't kiss on stage, don't have plastic surgery to attract a crowd, and don't hide behind someone elses skill. Bands like that write, create, and perform their own music. They don't hire bands and writers, they are the bands, they are the writers/creators of their own music. Maybe that is why we still listening to the Beatles and Led Zeplin and for the most part forgotten about performers like Britney and Christina. Once the get older and the appearance/persona has gone so have they.

As a rock musician from the late 60s and 70s, I love this movie!!! It speaks to a music culture that few people understand and rings true to the high emotions and deep love for pure rock and roll!!! Pare's look is perfect, Cafferty's music is wonderful and I encourage anyone who loves rock to watch this movie and even better, the sequel - Eddie & the Cruisers II!! Enjoy and may it touch your musical soul as it touches mine!

This movie is awsome! Michael Pare and all the other cast members are great! This is a timeless classic!!
