The Legend of Billie Jean (1985)

9.9/10.What can be said about Helen Slater? She's an actress who never got the big break that so many untalented ones like Julia Roberts, Pamela Anderson, and Mariska Hargitay.Sure there was Super Girl but it was unfairly trashed by snotty critics. Here as Billie Jean she plays a mix of Joan of Arc with James Deen's Rebel Without A Cause set in the 1980's.I would definitely say this a seriously underrated movie of the 80's alongside The Toxic Avenger, Super Girl, A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, All The Marbles, Friday the 13th Part 2, Deadly Friend, and American Angels Baptism Of Blood.Helen Slater seems to have this abundance of charm in every movie she does.She may be one of the most underrated actresses ever.I wish Hollywood had wised up on and others like her.She as well as others like her deserve better.The movie itself plays out well for a teenagers vs adults movie, possibly the best one I've ever seen.It seems like it's doing social commentary on the lack of communication between the generations.The phrase "Fair is fair."seems like a battle cry for those of us who feel like we've been unfairly treated and beaten down in life.Everyone here works well with her, especially Christian Slater as he seems to have the best brought out in him.Helen Slater is and always will be one of my favorite actresses.
