River was the better and more serious actor, but Keanu was hot. I loved the hair and the eyes. Come to think of it, he was probably my major teenage crush.

The kissing scene had me melt into a sad puddle of goo. I was so impressed by all the hotness that I didn't care for Scott's abandoning Mike.

A gay friend of my then boyfriend's and an avid biker also loved the film because Scott was riding a seriously cool motorbike. It never occurred to me that MOPI could be important for the gay community. It was just a cool film with pretty boys touching. Weird, eh?

And I definitely need to get the DVD.
