STORYCONTEXT: Lucas (Corey Him, Kerri Green, Dir. David Seltzer, 1986) 

Just watched the movie Lucas. An old favorite. Genial fable about a puny weakling with athlete-level brains and character. The hero grows a little, but mostly he just remains who he already is, forcing his sports-centric community (a. k. a. “high school”) to grow—by showing them what real size and strength is. Remove the 80s synth soundtrack and it would be pretty much a timeless, perfect fable of its kind. Can’t imagine any actor doing that role better than
