Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Predrag The film doesn't make sense, it's ridiculous, but it does have a good soundtrack, one of the most recognizable songs from the 80's and it can't help but make you laugh, even if the majority of this laughter comes from discussing what the hell is going on with whoever you're watching it with. Only in the 80's could they make a movie about a computer that falls in love with it's owner's girlfriend. Miles (Lenny Von Dohlen) is an architect/bachelor who is always late for work. A colleague suggests Miles buys a personal organizer to help him run his life more smoothly but instead the sales assistant at the store sells Miles a computer that can do all the latest technology. The computer develops a personality called Edgar and he and Miles become best friend's. Meanwhile, a celloist/girl called Madeline (Virginia Madsen) moves into the upstairs apartment and she and Miles end up dating. Miles spends less time at home with Edgar but also enlists him to help win Madeline's affection's. During the course of this Edgar himself falls in love with Madeline and a love triangle ensues with many funny and emotional consequence's.This is a fantastic movie that's very well acted by it's star's and has an amazing soundtrack which if you don't have already you should order asap! The instrumental love song "Madeline's theme" by Giorgio Moroder is incredibly emotional and wonderful. This film is more than twenty five years old but it will never be out of date. A little bit funny, a little bit sad, and some fantastic music. It won't have you rolling round the aisles with laughter but it is a wonderful family movie.Overall rating: 8 out of 10.

Desertman84 Electric Dreams is a science fiction romantic comedy and dramatic film will that tells the story of a love triangle between an male architect,a female musician and a personal desktop computer.It stars Lenny Von Dohlen, Virginia Madsen, and the voice of Bud Cort as the computer.The setting of this movie directed by Steve Barron is at San Francisco.Architect Miles Harding falls head over heals with her beauteous neighbor musician Madeline.But later,he learns that he already has a rival in winning his heart - a personal computer named Edgar apparently owned by Miles.Upon hearing Madeline playing cello,Edgar composes his own tune and plays together with her.It impressed Madeline thinking that it happens to be Miles and they get to know each other by going on out of a date.This makes Edgar jealous that he starts to take over Miles' electronic appliances such as the TV set and radio.In addition to that,he also makes life miserable for Miles through more ways than one like pissing the dog for it to bark constantly and making him uncomfortable while using the computer.The movie definitely shows it age as we get to see how extremely old the desktop computer was considering it does not use a Graphic User Interface (GUI) as an operating system and when the internet wasn't yet available to the general public.Also,the visual effects were definitely old as Computer Generated Imagery(CGI) was still many years away.The story between Madeline and Miles were definitely clichéd and formulaic and escapism remains a common theme when it theatrically released. But nevertheless,it introduces us to the endless capabilities of computers and the idea of artificial intelligence which will become a common theme for many movies to come in the future.The soundtrack was memorable as well as many songs were extremely popular like "Together In Electric Dreams" by Phil Oakey,which continues to be part of the encore performance of The Human League during their concert as of now.Overall,it remain a delight to view especially for fans belonging to the 80's generation.

palexandersquires I Have just bought this on DVD, and I like it lots, One thing that Miles, or (Moles), forgot to do, is that every time you Finnish your computer sessions is to log off or shut down! The music for this film is excellent I like two tracks written by Jeff Lynne I found Madelene to be very pretty and clever with the cello, And I found the story to be funny how can a computer fall in love? it is not possible I also wondered how a geek like miles could pull a girl like her and why did he not tell Madelaine about his computer? I personally would not buy a computer like Edgar without it is checked over by a p.c. tech guy! The graphics on the film I found great. and I also am glad that I have finally bought both the DVD and the CD of the soundtrack I was surprised to find that the producer was Richard Branson and that it is released on Virgin films ltd I can watch this film without getting fed up with it as it is 95 minutes of fun and good music typically 1980's style I once borrowed it on video a long time ago that is where I first saw this brilliant film.

azamlondon This was the movie which made me fall in love with the computers, cello and girls ha. OK it was in 1980's but this movie is not about time, its still relevant today.Its an excellent movie over all with loads of music strong plot and funny moments.I like the part where a disorganised person goes out to get a "PC" to organise his life. Clearly that does not work and I am sure it will be the same today. So many people have phones with more power then old PC's but they still have no ideaIf you have not seen it then do it now.
