Valley Girl - #027

What originally started as a sexy teen exploitation film to capitalize on the popularity of a 1982 Frank Zappa song turned into a surprise hit that has since become a cult classic but more importantly it featured the very first starring role of a man who would go on to become a legend. Sure, Nicolas Coppola had been in a few things, but Nicolas Cage wasn’t born until the 1983 romantic comedy: Valley Girl.

Julie Richman has it all, good looks, popularity and a hunky boyfriend but when a punk from Hollywood walks into her life she begins to question what she really wants and is torn between fitting in with her vapid friends or following her heart.

Valley Girl stars Nicolas Cage’s then crush Deborah Foreman, the woman who would go on to voice Tommy Pickles on the Rugrats E.G. Daily, that nerdy girl from Real Genius Michelle Meyrink, some other people and of course, as if you didn’t know the only man who can like, for sure, turn a valley girl into a normal human Academy Award winning actor Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.
