"Playing for Keeps" is a 1986 comedy film directed and written by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein. It stars Daniel Jordano, Matthew Penn and Leon W. Grant as a trio of inner-city teenagers attempting to strike it rich by turning a hotel into a rock 'n' roll resort. A then little-known Marisa Tomei has a supporting role.

The film's soundtrack features music by a decidedly higher-profile roster: Phil Collins, Julian Lennon, Pete Townshend, and Duran Duran splintergroup Arcadia.

The film was produced by Miramax and released by Universal Pictures. To date the film is the only Miramax production (excluding co-productions) that Miramax doesn't own because Universal still owns the film. Universal also released the film as a Region 1 DVD on August 23rd, 2003.
