I never in my life thought I would see somebody else who love this movie as much as I did and do! I think I probably bought five of a soundtracks and at least five or six of the movie on DVD just in case something happened to one of the other ones. Absolutely loved loved loved it this movie, and Nicolas Cage was so hot. It was need to see all the different destinations that they found and I wanna thank you for taking your time for sharing that with us.
I also graduated from high school in 1983. James Monroe HS in Sepulveda. Grover Cleveland HS in Reseda for my freshman year. Wonderful time to come of age.
@@tb9489 It's pretty rare, but I own a vinyl copy of the original soundtrack on the Roadshow label. It only has 8 songs, and (for whatever reason), I Melt With You didn't make the cut. I agree, it's a travesty. However, the soundtrack was reissued in '84 and it contained a lot more songs, including Modern English.
@@tb9489 Actually, I just remembered that the OG on Roadshow was actually a small pressing (300 i think?) and was recalled almost immediately after it was released, so very few made it into circulation. I could never find info on why it was recalled, but my guess is the artwork. The artwork on the OG cover features a woman who looks nothing like Deborah Foreman.

Definitely not mad at you having Valley Girl in your top 10 favorite movie list. Very underrated. Deborah Foreman and Elizabeth Daily are so cute in it too.
I’ve lived in Studio City and Sherman Oaks for 33 years. Thanks for the tour of my neighborhood. You can’t swing a dead cat around here without seeing a celebrity or filming location.
80s Life I might be able to save the house and stop the demolition of it because I’m willing to buy this home and make it look exactly the way it looked before. I buy homes for a living so i can afford it. Unfortunately i don’t have the location of the place
I was in 9th grade . Still remember the friends I saw it with. At times it seems like yesterday , other times it feels ages ago. Strange getting older , and watching a movie you were a kid the first time , then watching it now at almost 55 years old. Omg .
They filmed Raising Arizona in our neighborhood and used my parents backyard for the film crew to eat in. Also, Nicolas Cage climbed our fence in the movie and the Doberman scene was filmed next door. They filmed a week and a half in our neighborhood that was about 5 minutes in the movie. It was all night scenes that I watched every night. I am telling about this because Valley Girl was the only reason that I knew who Nicolas Cage was. Great job on finding filming locations.
@@richardsweet7842 I know I like it maybe more than I would have, since it came to our house and neighborhood. It was a fun and interesting experience.
I really enjoyed this video. This is a strong reminder that just because something is still here today, that does not guarantee that it will still be here tomorrow.
Dude!!! Kudos on putting these shots together!! This is a HIGHLY underrated iconic 80’s teen flick. I love this movie & appreciate what you did here! Right on! 😜😍🙏🏻👍
We went to a Culture Club after party at the Tick Tock restaurant after the Hollywood Palladium show in ‘83. IIRC, people we saw there included Rick James, Prince, and Shalimar. The Viper Room was called The Central back then.
Great job on this- thank you. I always thought the chemistry between Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage was one of those rare events that doesn't come around often.
Underrated and overlooked, love it, damn! Dont ever stop doing these, your providing the absolute nectar of nostalgic curiosity mixed with geographic history, or something like that.
Remember there was 2 80’s......the early 80’s (80-83) where there was a till quite a bit of left over 70’s you can clearly see in hairstyles and fashion and then came IMO the real 80’s (84-89) cuffed pants, synthesizers, buzzed hair on the side, etc....
Clicked on this as soon as I saw it. Great film. Still looking for an ultimate copy. A film I can watch again and again. The parents are great characters.
Love these filming location comparison vids of the 80s its extremely saddening and mindblowing how the world has gone from awesome to complete 💩like you can literally see how great life were back then and had so much variety and when everything were in working order now(as seen in this vid and most other vids)those very scenes/locations are dried up,closed off and/or dead WHY!!!?? Its almost as if these things are happening delibrately to destroy the life and souls of our existence its miserable to see and think back on 😂
So true, I recently watched valley girl after moving back to Texas,a after living in California. I did live in the "valley " for a couple years, I also lived in Hollywood for a few months. So it was kinda of depressing how much California has changed for the worse, compared to when I first moved there
@@CobraDove1111 well aware of that stuff had awakening 8 years ago literally changed my entire perception of life and the lie weve all been living and the evil that continues to enslave us..they must be stopped in order for true positive change to ever happen otherwise things will only get worse this covid scam is the doorway to this world theyre leading us all into
This is my favorite location episode. ValleyGirl was/is my favorite '80's movie. I watch it all of the time. I'm a Gen X'er and can never get enough of the '80's ❤
@@LinneaSanchez I have such great memories of being a kid in the '80's. Compared to the present time, the '80's seems quite innocent and carefree. I miss it so 💖
Thx-GREAT post!!!Actor Tony Markes (Brad)was a family friend.. They used his real life house with the turqouise door.on Dixie Canyon in SF Valley for Julie’s house. I used to go there.for Christmas parties and kissed a few guys there.I just went to his moms memorial and they talked about it😃😃
I love Valley Girl. It is a great movie. Makes me wish I could have lived there back then. Sad to see most of the locations have changed so much. Thanks for making this video.
I really appreciated this video! You wanna know something? I still think that I'm the only black dude that'll admit that he loved Valley Girl,LOL! I can see me watching that movie back in '84. To me back then it was like watching a really good soft porn movie with a good story line. Thanks so much for the memories!
Can you please tell me where I can watch it ? I haven’t seen it in about 35 years. It touched my heart when I was about 16 years old and I haven’t forgotten it.
Oh i pray that house is still around. I always thought houses from films should have a small plaque. I really appreciate the hard work gone into making a movie and if we love the movie, just dreamy!
Valley Girl is a overlooked classic. Especially how Hollywood was back in the day. Plimsouls were so ahead of thier time. Valley Girl and Repo man, classic movies.
I love this movie!! I showed it to my 20 year old daughter several years ago who then fell in love with Cage. Lol Some of her much older co workers couldn’t believe she knew of this movie.
I'm the same age as Cage. The first time I ever saw him was this movie, and I kinda fell in love with him too. His big soulful eyes broke my little heart.
I had totally forgotten about DuPars. Then when you mentioned it was gone, I got a little sad by its passing. In 1971 I became friends (met em when I was attending Valley Jr College) with some classmates who lived in the DuPars neighborhood. I never cared for their pies and since no one wanted to hang out in my neighborhood (Bob's Big Boy in Burbank/Toluca Lake) I spent many a Fri/Sat night there. Great memories but lousy food! LOL Thanks for these fantastic videos. Brings back such wonderful memories. Keep up your fantastic work.
Very cool. One of those movies that lines come to my mind today. "What are you doing here?" "I forgot my comb." "Oh cool, is this movie in 3-D?" "No, but your face is." 😜
Thank you for this video...Valley Girl is one of my favorite movies. I grew up in L.A in the 80's/90's and it's so sad to see how much it has change over the years. Every time I go back it looks different ☹
Always wondered about that Du-pars restaurant. The Viper Room building has a loooong history. Surprised the houses are still there, so many in LA been “remodeled.” Nick Cage is 57 now man, me too! 👌🏼
Such a great post! This movie captures so much of my life 1986 entering HS (I only saw it on VHS a couple years after it came out). Top 10 fav for me as well, fer sure, like totally. I just took my 18 year old son to southern cal and did the night drive as best I could. My son didn’t dig the Pat Travers song - because I obviously raised a philistine- but it was blasting on repeat along with Modern English and The Plimsouls, of course. Thanks for the labor of love putting this together.
Wow. Your comment really means a lot to me. Seriously, you have no idea! My channel is still relatively new, less than a year. The traffic has quadrupled just in the last few months, so it's growing slowly. I'm not stopping anytime soon, I have a lot more to share with you all... and comments like yours really help to keep me going. Thanks again.
@@80sLife: No way! Thanks for responding! If I can add just a few things: From a subscribers view, responding to comments goes a long way; Your narration skills are killer; And, I really appreciate the long drive you have to endure to get back to the Valley, so THANK YOU! Best of luck!
I was in 11th grade.. This was definitely one of the most watched movies on comcast for decades...in my house. Watch for the pants color change during the prom fight..Tommy's pants
Thank you for sharing I'm a new subscriber! I'm originally from Phoenix so this reminded me of my teenage years and many memories i so wanted to live in California... That same year we moved to Texas... All i could do was think of my fun memories ..
This video brought me to your channel, Valley Girl is one of my favorite movies. I lived in Hollywood for many years and love seeing places I knew so well. I met Elizabeth Daily at a club in the early 90s and she was really nice.
8:25 Julie's house at 3907 Dixie Canyon Avenue got torn down and rebuilt to a new house in 2022. You can still see the old pictures on street view though.
Thanks for putting this together! LA and The Valley are so different now from back then. I was born in The Valley, and remember it like this. I also remember when punk rock swept through Los Angeles and the rest of Southern California. This is a classic movie like a little slice of LA history. It's such a different place now.. two more things about this film and Nicolas Cage. First what a great soundtrack it has, and my father was a young professor and had Nicholas Cage in his class a long time ago and apparently he ended up slapping Nicolas Cage in some verbal confrontation they had in his class. That's a true story. Thanks again for the video.
Happened to have walked my dog several times by apparently what was Julie's house. So random. We stopped several times and looked at it to see what was going on with the house. Had no idea obviously this was the house in Valley Girl. Such a great movie.
Haha. The director said she made him shave his chest because he was too hairy, and that's how he shaved it. I know he's obsessed with superman and I've always wondered if that's why he shaved it like that
Watched it again last night for maybe the 20th time since I first saw it at The UA Valentine Theater in the Bronx back in '83....GOOD MEMORIES!!!...GREAT MOVIE!!!
Definitely my favorite film from this time period. I went to the Sherman Oaks Galleria in the mid 1990’s. This movie was the BEST (all that iconic music, the clothes, etc. ) The opening song is my favorite! Oh how I wish I could turn back time. I know a lot of the lines by heart. Thank you so much for sharing!
Great work. Thank you for documenting so thoroughly the site locations to this little secret guilty pleasure movie. Your effort is greatly appreciated, especially the Hollywood High shot which I would have never even tried to find.
Everything is so boring nowadays in comparison to all the neon 80s signage flashing with life and fun everywhere; the bowling alley, movie theatre, mall, etc... Valley Girl is also probably in my top 10 all time favorite movies, it gives you the perfect 80s atmosphere that so many of us crave!
I absolutely Loved that movie, and the music. It takes me back to my youth. I grew up in Diamond bar in the late 70’s . Thank you for making this video I really enjoyed it .
Thanks for posting this great video!.. Valley Girl is one of my favorite movies too, I just bought the Blu-ray! I had the VHS bad the DVD!... And to think Nickolas Cage was only 17 in this movie! his first movie too!
I love this movie! Filmed in the L.A. I grew up in. I was born in the Valley, and although I grew up in the West Side I did spend a number of years living in the Valley. My first two years, and then on and off from my late teens to my late twenties in college and I worked in the Valley. The contrast between the west side and the valley is tremendous. The mentality, the way streets are laid out. The Valley feels a lot less crowded. The Valley is also a lot more affordable than the West Side. Yeah, the weather's not as nice in the summer, but beyond that it's alright the rest of the year.
On the Topic of "Valley Girl", You need to know that Frank Zappa's RUclips channel released a music video for his song "Valley Girl". There never was a music video for that song before. The music video is Hella 80's. Lots of Patrick Nagel art etc. You'd probably dig it.
I never in my life thought I would see somebody else who love this movie as much as I did and do! I think I probably bought five of a soundtracks and at least five or six of the movie on DVD just in case something happened to one of the other ones. Absolutely loved loved loved it this movie, and Nicolas Cage was so hot. It was need to see all the different destinations that they found and I wanna thank you for taking your time for sharing that with us.
I second that sentiment!!🥰
One of my all time favorite movies !!!
I’ve watched it so many times that now I just watch it for the aesthetics and the soundtrack.
Thanks for bringing us down memory lane. The 80's were like totally awesome.
My pleasure. Thank you!!
I grew up in Encino (graduated high school in 1983)...THANK YOU for this video!!
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
I also graduated from high school in 1983. James Monroe HS in Sepulveda. Grover Cleveland HS in Reseda for my freshman year. Wonderful time to come of age.
This movie started my love for everything that involves the Valley.
The iconic soundtrack, Melt with you by Modern English sold this movie.
They actually have a new album that’s pretty cool 😎
Fun fact: "I Melt With You" was not on the original Valley Girl soundtrack released in '83, though it did make it to subsequent pressings.

So good!
Just watched it again for the 1000th time this weekend and so glad to see this video!

Also can't watch most movies or shows without recognizing places you know :)
Very kool!!!
Love this movie. Nick Cage had it going on back in 1983😍
Right? Rumblefish was released the same year! 🐠
So many have missed this film..One of my favorite films with Nicholas Cage.
It's definitely my favorite Cage movie

80s movies were awesome 👏🏻
I have never seen the film either !
It's a shame he plays mostly slimeballs in bad action movies these days, because he's a great comedic actor.
I was a 17 year old working at a movie theater in New York when this film was released. I loved it. Nicolas Cage and the soundtrack were terrific.
I was in 9th grade . Still remember the friends I saw it with. At times it seems like yesterday , other times it feels ages ago. Strange getting older , and watching a movie you were a kid the first time , then watching it now at almost 55 years old. Omg .
To me it's still one of the best soundtracks of all time
Or as heather said when that big Ed guy Gabe's you the check
One of my favorite movies of all time! ❤ So cool. It's such a bummer things have to change. The 80s were the Best! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching

Haha. The director said she made him shave his chest because he was too hairy, and that's how he shaved it. I know he's obsessed with superman and I've always wondered if that's why he shaved it like that
@@80sLife LOL!
Watched it again last night for maybe the 20th time since I first saw it at The UA Valentine Theater in the Bronx back in '83....GOOD MEMORIES!!!...GREAT MOVIE!!!
One of my all time favs too! Thats when I got a big crush on Cage. ;)
Loved Valley Girl! Know it by heart glad you did a video on the highly underrated 80s classic 👌🤙"Is this film in 3D?" "No but your face is!"
Definitely my favorite film from this time period. I went to the Sherman Oaks Galleria in the mid 1990’s. This movie was the BEST (all that iconic music, the clothes, etc. ) The opening song is my favorite! Oh how I wish I could turn back time. I know a lot of the lines by heart. Thank you so much for sharing!
I absolutely agree. Thank you!
This is like totally awesome! Haha,thanks
Great work. Thank you for documenting so thoroughly the site locations to this little secret guilty pleasure movie. Your effort is greatly appreciated, especially the Hollywood High shot which I would have never even tried to find.
Thank you for watching
Valley Girl is my all time favorite movie. I loved your video... thanks for sharing. Like for sure...totally..! 😁
My pleasure. thank you for watching
Everything is so boring nowadays in comparison to all the neon 80s signage flashing with life and fun everywhere; the bowling alley, movie theatre, mall, etc... Valley Girl is also probably in my top 10 all time favorite movies, it gives you the perfect 80s atmosphere that so many of us crave!
I absolutely Loved that movie, and the music. It takes me back to my youth. I grew up in Diamond bar in the late 70’s . Thank you for making this video I really enjoyed it .
Thanks for posting this great video!.. Valley Girl is one of my favorite movies too, I just bought the Blu-ray! I had the VHS bad the DVD!... And to think Nickolas Cage was only 17 in this movie! his first movie too!
Thank you so much for watching

thank you im an 80s kid and own this dvd love it
Thank you for watching
Awesome for putting this together! One of my favorites for sure and wish Hollywood was still the same now as back then.
I love this movie! Filmed in the L.A. I grew up in. I was born in the Valley, and although I grew up in the West Side I did spend a number of years living in the Valley. My first two years, and then on and off from my late teens to my late twenties in college and I worked in the Valley. The contrast between the west side and the valley is tremendous. The mentality, the way streets are laid out. The Valley feels a lot less crowded. The Valley is also a lot more affordable than the West Side. Yeah, the weather's not as nice in the summer, but beyond that it's alright the rest of the year.
That was so cool, thanks for sharing I love valley girl

On the Topic of "Valley Girl", You need to know that Frank Zappa's RUclips channel released a music video for his song "Valley Girl". There never was a music video for that song before.
The music video is Hella 80's. Lots of Patrick Nagel art etc. You'd probably dig it.
