Digital love

"I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me
I wanna feel what love is
I know you can show me"
(Foreigner)

This is one of my favorite movies from the eighties, and one that I really wanted to see again, except that it's been very hard to find. I finally got a copy and watched it again recently, and surprisingly, it's still fresh and extremely watchable.

Short Attention Span Summary (SASS):

1. Boy (Lenny von Dohlen) meets computer
2. Boy meets girl (Virginia Madsen)
3. Computer meets girl
4. Girl and computer share a Minuet #4 in G
5. Quirky love triangle develops

Miles Harding (von Dohlen) buys a "state of the art" computer system to help him design a building block that will withstand earthquakes. He gets a little carried away with the new technology, connecting the computer to every electrical appliance in the house, and when he attempts a massive upload, he gets way too much information, and a lot more than he bargained for.

His new neighbor Madeline (Madsen, looking young and gorgeous) is a cellist, and in the best musical duet of all time, she shares a special moment through the heating duct.

Soon there's a little rivalry going on between man and machine, making for a most unusual and enjoyable romantic comedy for the ages. Look for ever-so-cute Maxwell Caulfield in a small part, and enjoy the soundtrack by Giorgio Moroder, Jeff Lynne, Culture Club and Philip Oakley, among others.

One small note - although most of the movie is fine for kids from 10 and up, there's one scene where the computer repeats an expletive a few times that you'll need to watch out for.

I'd like to join the universal call to release this classic on DVD for a new generation to enjoy.

My motherboard WANTS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

An angelic Virginia Madsen, a dorky Lenny von Dohlen and a fried pc formed one of the funnier and oddest of romantic threesomes. This "period piece" is full of obsolete and hilarious computer references, amazing 80's fashions and one of the more eclectic, fun soundtracks (along the line of the 'Footloose" soundtrack, if you were there, then you have heard the songs) from the era. The day that this movie comes out on DVD will be legen......wait for it.........dary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Until that bitchin' day arrives, check out the soundtrack. My teenage daughters listen to it more than a lot of today's "hits".

DVD!...DVD!...DVD!...DVD!...DVD!..DVD!

This movie is for those who grew up in the Computer revolution and arcade games in the 80s. It was dubbed as a "Fairytale for Computers", with classic music from ELO, Culture Club, Heaven 17 to name a few (BTW grab the OST while its on CD.. its great!).

Boy buys computer, meets girl who lives up stairs, computer gets jealous and wants to meet the girl. Computer come to life? Sure in the 1980's with some campaign spilled on the keyboard.

Now the fun part, I guess there is a licensing issue for the music to get this on DVD. Just like with 1984's "Heavy Metal" multiple artists and groups have to give it its blessing (and make sure they get the royalties off of it) when it goes to DVD.

So now MGM...PLEASE review this and get this to DVD. You would easily sell 939 copies according to this reviews left here. At $14.95 you can easily make $14038.05 off of sales with more to follow.

Awesome Movie

I showed this movie to my 8 year old and he fell in love with the 80's music. Very good family movie!
