Turning 40 this year is Gen X's ultimate trigger, The Neverending Story. The swamp scene will always be a tough watch. Streets of Fire, billed as a rock and roll fable is a neo-noir action crime film by Walter Hill that is also celebrating 40 years. Between the visuals and music, this one is ripe for a small theater.
