This movie may be bad in most aspects but it is still a great classic. I love the characters, the music rocks, and it is a story about fighting for what you believe in.

I was 13, my sister was 11. She still won't admit it is one of the worst movies in the public domain. :)

The accents are laughable. I live in Texas and I've never heard anyone sound THAT country, but besides that, it's a really entertaining 80s film with fun dialog, awesome soundtrack, and lovable characters.

Great Eighties film and still holds up today, really fun and rebellious. Overall great, and sends a great message.

I am so glad I finally got my hands on this! It is so great!

A bunch of kids from the trailer park just want their motorscooter fixed when the bully steals it and trashes it. They want it without being beat up, raped, bribed, etc... because fair is fair. The way Billie Jean figures our how to become a symbol of righteousness for children is amazing. I love the Joan de Arc allusions.

Any curious of the eighties will dig this film and a neat little entry from one of the American Zoetrope gang of Coppola, Lucas and co...great Pat Benatar theme.

Well, this was extremely 80s, especially that awesome Pat Benatar anthem played throughout the film. Entertaining film, though I don't understand why Billie Jean became such a hero to everyone when she made that uninspiring speech, maybe short blonde...

Entertaining film, though I don't understand why Billie Jean became such a hero to everyone when she made that uninspiring speech, maybe short blonde haired hot women have that effect on everyone. And I'll never adjust to a very young Christian Slater having blonde hair. I also think it's hilarious that the dream location they all want to go to is Vermont. Yeardley Smith was funny, but her character was pretty useless she was just there for laughs. But I can't believe I'm actually analyzing The Legend of Billie Jean. Fair is fair!

You can find an early Yeardley Smith (bart and lisa simpson) in this movie. This is probably the first movie i ever saw where a woman took a stand and went against everything she was being told to do. This is for any rebellious woman, a good watch!

Screeningat Cinefest Film Theatre at Georgia State University through May 22nd.

A Billie Jean movie without the Billie Jean song. interesting! rebellious teens revolting against all the evil around them. very kitschy, but partly fun.
