Losing weight over a year isn't so strange. I was obese when I was like 15, but I managed to lose 50 lbs over about 3 months by working out like crazy every day :S
Loved this flick. It came out when I was a freshman in HS and watching it today brings back a ton of memories. I think the film captured the feel and tone of the early to mid 90s pretty well. Yes, watching it now you see a ton of flaws, but like an old friend, you ignore them. They're just little ones anyway. I always thought Lee would have become a bigger star had he lived. Maybe he would have been in the Matrix and not Keanu.
The soundtrack is amazing and critical to the film. It's one of those flicks which rely heavily on atmosphere and the music sets the mood perfectly. From the Cure, NIN and STP, you can't really get much better. I'm not sure how someone a lot younger will view the film, but if you were a teen in that period and immersed in the grunge, dark rock culture, you'll like it.
