VHS – LOSIN IT (1983)

Before Top Gun and Risky Business, there was Losin’ It—a raucous coming-of-age comedy starring a young Tom Cruise. Set in the early 1960s, four teenage friends from L.A. head south to Tijuana in search of girls, freedom, and a little trouble. Along the way, they pick up a runaway housewife (Shelley Long), tangle with corrupt cops, and learn that growing up isn’t always as fun as it sounds.

Directed by Curtis Hanson (L.A. Confidential), this retro teen flick blends raunchy humor with surprising heart. With its vintage cars, jukebox soundtrack, and sun-soaked misadventures, Losin’ It is a cult favorite for fans of 80s teen cinema and early Cruise charisma.
