The Wild Life
Sometimes a movie’s greatest asset ends up being its undoing. “The Wild Life,” a teen comedy starring Lea Thompson, Rick Moranis, Chris Penn and Eric Stoltz, is strung together by an awesome soundtrack featuring Prince, Madonna, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen, Steppenwolf and Billy Idol, among others. This soundtrack, and the expensive music licensing that goes with it, is what ended up killing the movie’s future home releases. Universal Studios did make a version of the film available for mail-order only, but it’s a heavily edited version that skips many of the iconic songs entirely.
