Unkown treasure
This movie is one of those that is unknown but cherished by the few who saw it. It is well worth any trouble it takes to dig up a copy. It is also one of the few movies I watch all the way through without stopping even though I have seen it many times. In fact , i wore out my copy watching it. I highly recommend that you get a copy , just leave one for me.

Funny, Quirky but your pulled in.
I saw this movie like 1991 or 92 and been enchanted by it ever since. I've never owned a copy till this year. It just stuck in memory. One of those 3 in the afternoon sunday movies. Kiefer Sutherlnd is super, playing a rich but lonely, outcast teen. He is quirky, lke listeing to 30's music in the 80's quirky. He is perscuted by his older brother and, misunderstood by his father and step mom. He meets a girl working in a department store, while his brother steals a jacket. He later finds out she's deaf, but the two fall deep in love. They find comfort in each other and learn to deal with youth.She is not sheltered by her disabilty but, wants to learn to speak better and, travel to europe. He helps her with her speach and she helps him to come of his shell. It stays true to the love story model , but not like those cleshays. The end is great, a twist, that makes you want more. A classic love story that people have missed out on.

Superb
"Crazy Moon" is one of those obscure low-budget films that gets played at 3 in the morning. For some reason, I have discovered many of my favorite films this way.

Even though it was filmed in the late eighties, the soundtrack features many tunes from the '30s, one which provides the title for the film. The slow, dreamy quality of the music conveys the alienation of Brooks (Kiefer Sutherland), a quirky teenager who shuts himself away from his family and is constantly tormented by his older brother, a walking cliche of everything that was wrong with the 80's.

He comes across Anne (Vanessa Vaughn), who deals with alienation of a different sort. She is a deaf girl who isn't put back by her disability; she tries to live a normal life by working in a department store and dreaming of someday travelling to Europe.

She is an inspiration to Brooks, and the two hit it off. The ending was a nice suprise and well-written because although the film shows love as a way to escape loneliness, it also takes into account the importance of discovering yourself as an individual. Like another reviewer, I also recorded the film on VHS from the television. The problem with this is that there is always so much cut out, for example there is some dialogue near the end of the film during the confrontation between Brooks and his brother that is clearly edited, and it sort of takes you out of the film.

Anyhow, if you are into obscure 3am movies you'll surely like this one.
