Screengrab of Heidi Holicker in VALLEY GIRL.
Heidi Holicker was - and still is - the very definition of the word ADORABLE.

Yeah, I know Deborah Foreman got most of the attention in VALLEY GIRL. For me, it was Ms. Holicker that made my heart beat faster.
Her performance feels genuine, not forced.
I am going to focus most of my attention on Ms. Holicker's movies.

A zillion articles have been written about VALLEY GIRL, and I have nothing new to add in regards to the film. I can only tell you how this movie makes me feel now - as opposed to when it was released.
I feel a combination of joy and sorrow when I watch it. VALLEY GIRL brings back a flood of memories of when I lived in Southern California. Most of those memories were horrible and surreal, but many were also fantastic.
This movie has been released many times. On VHS, DVD and BLU-RAY. I don't know if it was ever released on BETA, CED, or LASERDISC.
My VALLEY GIRL screengrabs were sourced from my SURE THING / VALLEY GIRL double feature DVD.

Screengrabs from an interview with E. G. Daily and Heidi Holicker. It took place in 2018 ( channel 5 - KTLA - Los Angeles ). They're discussing the BLU-RAY, their memories of the film, and showing off an original soundtrack album - I would love to own one.

Music from the movie was released on vinyl ( only a few songs were on it ), audio cassette, and CD ( not all of the songs in the movie are found on the tape or CD ). A second CD was released, it contains songs that were NOT on the fist CD.

The two screengrabs on top are of SPARKS performing EATEN BY THE MONSTER OF LOVE ( on AMERICAN BANDSTAND ). They performed it LIVE. I repeat, they did NOT lip sync!... NOTE - I don't think it's on the first soundtrack album. Below are screengrabs of the PSYCHEDELIC FURS performing LOVE MY WAY, and MODERN ENGLISH performing I MELT WITH YOU - These songs are all featured in VALLEY GIRL.

Screengrabs of Heidi Holicker in the humorous music video for LEADER OF THE PACK ( by TWISTED SISTER )... Yes, Bobcat Goldthwait is also in the video.

Above is a screengrab from the music video for THIS TIME ( by John Meloncamp ).
Just for the record, I'm NOT fond of Mr. Meloncamp's or TWISTED SISTER's music.

Screengrab of Heidi Holicker in MALIBU BIKINI SHOP.
Ms. Holicker's screen time appears to be less than a minute.
This movie was released on VHS.
I don't know if it was released on region one DVD.

Screengrabs of Heidi Holicker in RUSH WEEK.
If you've been to this website before, you know how I feel about one-dimensional horror fanatics, YOUTUBE TROLLS, and internet trolls in general.
Trolls and hardcore horror freaks, LOVE bashing this flick - and that makes me like it even more. They prefer seeing blood over female nudity. Violence arouses them. These types of delusional misfits need professional help.
Here's some advice I know they'll ignore... Try watching a NON horror movie - or tv show - for once in your lives. You may also want to try READING A BOOK!... And by book, I don't mean a fucking comic!
Do you think it's possible for those retards to stop jerking-off to Jason Voorhees - or the latest superhero - and join the human race?
RUSH WEEK is available on VHS and DVD.
I watched it online ( via YOUTUBE ).

Screengrab of Heidi Holicker in JOY OF SEX.
I was bored out-of-my-mind by this movie. Now, I know why I had forgotten about it.
Ms. Holicker is only in this movie for one or two minutes.
JOY OF SEX is available on VHS.
I watched it online ( via YOUTUBE ).

Screengrabs of Heidi Holicker in PINK MOTEL.
I guess this qualifies as an anthology. Because we're treated to different stories. Slim Pickens and Phyllis Diller appear in this movie, but they don't have a lot to do. But, I still like it.
PINK MOTEL was released on VHS, but as I write this, it still has NOT been released on legit region one DVD.
I watched it online ( via YOUTUBE ).
