A delightful movie.
Added 7/2/2009
Having been warned by some reviews, I Googled "Original VHS" after the film title, and found a vendor with a link to Amazon. The quality of the tape is acceptable for a used VHS, and I feel that it's preferable to a copy burned onto a DVD.
As for the movie itself: although I'm not a fan of country music, I enjoyed several of the songs -- they might be described as country rock.
Saving the best for last, Kristy McNichol is so-o-o cute! She deserved an Oscar just for the way she says "Nashville, beware." -- and there's something for everyone: the ladies will go for Dennis Quaid.

Touching movie I remember from early teen years
Added 2/18/2006
I really hope that this movie is put into dvd form soon. I think this was Dennis Quaid's first movie or was it Caveman? Anyway he is really talented and I always liked Kristy McNichol since the show "Family", which also starred James Broderick (Matthew's father). She has the charm of a little waif and who could forget Mark Hamil from Star Wars fame. Please bring this movie out soon.

PLEASE PLEASE PUT THIS ON DVD!!!
Added 12/4/2005
I have been waiting for years for you to put this on DVD legitimately. I know sometimes you can find this on Ebay on DVD. But I am not sure I trust those copies. PLEASE work with me on this and put this out. I had the VHS but can't find it anywhere. This movie makes me think of my close relationship to my brother. It is sentimental to me and I LOVE the movie.
I will definately purchase it when it comes out! I would also be interested in the series "FAMILY" on DVD.
Thank you,
Angie

Should Be On DVD!
Added 10/7/2005
I have heard and read that when this movie was released in movie theaters that the critics trashed it and I have heard people saying that it was a box office flop but I remember watching The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia on cable and liking it. The Title of the movie is taken from a song from the 70s sung by Vicki Lawrence (Yes the same Vicki Lawrence from The Carol Burnett Show and Mama's Family). The movie stars Dennis Quaid as a country singer and Kristy McNichol as his teenaged sister who travel to Nashville when he gets in trouble with the law and there Kristy's character falls in love with a cop played by Mark Hamill. This movie in my opinion is much better then what the critics said and I think that Dennis Quaid, Kristy McNichol and Mark Hamill were all very good and I wish this movie would be transferred to DVD because since I got my DVD player and have seen how much better DVDs are then video tapes I don't buy movies on video anymore!

Fall in love again.
Added 8/27/2005
This is a movie that I saw in the theater when it came out. Dennis Quaid is sexy and talented and Kristy McNichol was so sweet and innocent. I loved this movie then and I love it now. I would love to get my hands on a CD of just the music. It brings tears and laughter and frustration all together in a way that makes it worth the time and attention it takes to watch it.

Bite Marks?
Added 7/6/2009
The movie arrived as scheduled and priced as posted. Play perfectly and my wife is very happy with it (one of her all time favorite movies??). The only thing, I was surprised by what looked like 2 sets of bites marks on the case, as if a dog got to it before it was mailed...

love Cheesy Movies
Added 1/13/2009
I am a child of the 80's, so no surprise that this is one I have always loved. Christopher Atkins and CKristy McNichol are great in this spoof classic.
