Crossroads (1986)

[Jesse Carrigan 119]

Guys, I was talking to my mom and sister today and thought of this movie. It has:

 

- Ralph "Daniel-san" Macchio as a classical guitarist who wants to learn about the essence of the blues.

 

- Joe Seneca as the elderly bluesman who made a deal with the devil and needs help getting to the Mississippi Delta to revoke it (yes, this is the same movie).

 

- Jami Gertz as a girl they pick up on the road (who helps Ralph Macchio lose his virginity).

 

The final scene is a guitar battle with Satan's guitarist (played by Steve Vai) for Joe Seneca's soul. It is bonkers and amazing.

 

It also features incredible dialogue like:

 

Frances: Blind Dog and Lightning Boy? Who the hell are you guys supposed to be?

Eugene Martone: We're bluesmen...

Willie Brown: *I'm* the bluesman, he's from Long Island!

 

Please do this movie.
