The Legend of Billie Jean. When I think about this movie I am filled with nostalgia and a sense of injustice. The movie was made in 1985 and stars Helen Slater, in the titular role, Peter Coyote, Keith Gordon, and Christian Slater in his first feature-length film. Its the first movie that, as a small child, I watched over and over again. It was my best movie friend. I understood why it was important then and I still feel the same way about its importance, now.
