A shitsplat town where the biggest attraction for the young locals is a dilapidated demolition derby track run by a super young Jamie Lee Curtis, who is in a semi-sordid love triangle with Patrick Swayze (who is married to Jennifer Jason Leigh) and C. Thomas Howell playing an 18-year-old HS grad ready to sow his oats and figure out what he wants to do with his life. That's the deal in Grandview, USA (1984).
Oh, and the local hick-town power brokers want nothing more than to put the derby out of business, bulldoze it, and build condos, of course. This forgotten flick is a bit weird and has odd pacing at times, but it's an awesome little time capsule.
