What a great movie and soundtrack. I actually went and bought the soundtrack after I saw this. David Foster did a great job. . 5 STARS
April 27, 2008This is a film produced two decades ago but with an enduring quality that makes you want to go back and see it again, and again, and again. In many ways it has all the characteristics of a classic: simple theme, uncomplicated characters, clear imagery in its presentation, and a soundtrack that supports the imagery and doesn't obscure the message. There is a simple innocence portrayed very effectively in characters played by actors who have since earned justifiably the admiration of peers and audiences alike for their depth of professional capacity,led by Jodie Foster and Mark Harmon. A great movie to just get comfortable with; no twisting plot moves; you can see everything coming - and it's nice when it works out that way.
January 14, 2008I was very moved by this story when I first saw it in the early 1990's. I found myself watching it again just last night at work - here I am 15 years older, at a place in life that I never expected to be, when the losses of my adolescent years seem light years away. But this story doesn't bring it back as much as it solidifies those experiences and the story even has greater resonance now. "Stealing Home" is a story dealing with the fundemental losses we face as people. It is poignant without being cheesy.

I watched this show for the first time when I was a senior in high school. My friend and I had the soundtrack and loved all the songs. I just happened to be watching TV the other day (something I rarely do) and it was on. I had totally forgot what a great movie it was! I was seriously mesmerized for an hour. The songs just took me back. I didn't see the beginning so I went on a search to find it. I figured Amazon wouldn't have the DVD and soundtrack, but, voila! That's why I love them. Thanks Amazon!

I was introduced to the music from this movie in college. I loved it so much that I decided to watch the movie. I just love it. Made my husband watch it and he enjoyed it too. It is one of those hidden treasures that always makes me smile.
