I've had no luck finidng anyone who remembers this movie, probably because I don't have a lot of details to give.
It was out in the mid-late 80s. A high school kid kills himself by jumping off a cliff during a party one night. No one realized it was a suicide (first ruled an accident, stumbled off the cliff in the dark) until his best friend gets the suicide note in the mail a couple of days later.
The movie ends at graduation with the suicide's girlfriend defying the principal by singing a song the suicide wrote.
I don't think anyone of any note was in the movie. That's about all I can recall.
Anyone remember this?

This seems to sorta fit, maybe. I had some time this morning and did a search and the closest thing I have come up with this far is a movie called Permanent Record, starring Keanu Reeves,Alan Boyce and Michelle Meyrink. It came out in 1988. Here is the summary from Rotten Tomatoes: Quote:
David Sinclair (Alan Boyce) is a healthy, popular high school student. He has a caring girlfriend, a gift for both classical and contemporary music, and a loving family. Then one night, he takes his own life outside the biggest party of the year. The tragedy tears apart David's friends and family--not only are these loved ones bereaved, but they also profoundly puzzled by David's fateful choice. The individual most upset by the tragedy is David's best friend Chris (Keanu Reeves), a troubled near-alcoholic who already leads a reckless life. David's death, some worry, might be the incident that finally pushes Chris over the edge. One of Reeve's first starring roles, PERMANENT RECORD is a sensitive, powerful exploration of teen suicide and the devastating effect it has on those left behind.

Not sure if this is what log used but: www.imdb.com is a GREAT resource for this type of stuff for movies and tv.

Thanks, Babe. I use IMDB all the time, but only if I know the movie title or someone who was in it. Is there some way to search IMDB without that information?

You can search by keywords, characters, and plots besides title and actors.

OMG, thank you so much. I have been trying to find the name of a movie I saw over 2o years ago and I only remembered sketchy details of the plot and none of the actors were big names or even medium sized names. I just found it though using that site! I owe you one, L!

Geez G you did't know about IMDb? I thought for sure that was right at the top of your favorites.

IMDB is a great site. It used to be better when you could read plots and reviews about the movie. Now you have to be a registered member to read reviews.

I know, but then you get all that junk mail and crap. The less personal info I have out there the better. I guess I could just make an identity up, but thats so wrong.
