Big Wednesday

Based on director/co-writer John Milius's own experiences, this film is the inspiration for Point Break, which also stars Gary Busey.

Plot: Three friends, Gary Busey, Jan-Michael Vincent and William Katt are surfer bums in the 1960's. Partying at the beach, very Monkees style, meeting girls and fooling around, then the Vietnam War comes along and the coming of age story becomes an examination of the merits and morality of war.

A superb film in many ways, not least for some iconic cinematography.

Budget: $11,000,000

Fun Fact: Narrated by Freddy Kruger himself, Robert Englund.
