I loved it upon first viewing the spring of 1979 at age thirteen!
And now due to streaming I can view it in my own home with subtitles!
I especially enjoyed the performances of John Savage and Treat Williams; Savage also starred in "The Deer Hunter", another Vietnam War era movie released in the late 1970s.
And as my sister said after viewing the later "National Lampoon's Vacation".....why does Chevy Chase's character bother running after Christie Brinkley when he is married to Beverly Dangelo!
Here is where it all started:

Big thrills during the summer of 1980--forty-five years ago!
During the mid twenty tens I discovered that Lifetime Network had produced a series of movies through the fourth book "Seeds of Yesterday".
The action of "Seeds" occurred during the summer of 1997; I read it during the summer of 1986, and I vividly recall thinking "I will be in my early thirties then."
I am now in my late fifties!
Time flies....
Then a few years later I saw "Garden of Shadows" in a bookstore and leafed through it enough to reveal a few more "secrets...."
Now I have just learned via my Roku that Lifetime produced a whole series based on "Garden" called:
Flowers in the Attic: The Origin.
And there are other books in the series:
Christopher's Diary: Secrets of Foxworth - Wikipedia
Christopher's Diary: Echoes of Dollanganger - Wikipedia
Christopher's Diary: Secret Brother - Wikipedia
And even a follow up to the Audrina book:
Last night I experienced horrible nightmares.
Is this part of becoming older?
I certainly hope not.
Getting into fall now....we aren't yet there but we are getting there!
