 Wasted opportunity... Two discs worth of nothing!Aug 14, 2010
I wasted my money upgrading from the single disc, first edition dvd of Flashdance to get this 2-disc "Special" edition thinking it would be full of extra content, but instead was full of something else. With Flashdance being the phenomena that it was, I totally expected Paramount to go all out and make this the ultimate Flashdance experience (similar to the VIP treatment that weaker films like Showgirls even seems to receive), but no dice. There must be tons of Flashdance info to really pack two discs. The hour long VH-1 Behind the Move - Flashdance episode would've been perfect to include on this dvd set, as it provided a thorough look at the making, the music and impact of this blockbuster smash. And since Paramount owns MTV/VH-1, it would've been a no brainer. And to make matters worse is the funky six-song sampler they tossed in to make up disc two. They couldn't even give you the whole soundtrack. This is exactly why dvds aren't selling like they used to.

One of the 80s classics that I love. An inspirational dreams come true movie with a love story too. Would recommend to anyone.

Visually and Musically Iconic, and Manages to Counterbalance Its Own Clichés.Jun 18, 2010
"Flashdance" was a landmark film of the 1980s, singlehandedly sparking the fashion trends of off-the-shoulder shirts, legwarmers, and ripped jeans, not to mention fueling the aerobics craze. It was a fun film at the time, but the set-up seems stranger now than it did then: A fresh-faced young woman, Alex (Jennifer Beals), is a welder by day and exotic dancer by night, while she lives in a converted warehouse and dreams of being a ballerina. Alex has saved enough money to support herself if she should join Pittsburgh's dance repertory company, but she's too intimidated to apply. One evening her boss Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) sees Alex dancing at Mawby's Bar and is enchanted. The beginning of a bumpy romance.
I've been revisiting movies of my youth to see if they were really worth remembering. "Flashdance" is. There must have been a lot of knock-offs, but I haven't seen anything quite like it since. Much of the film's appeal is in Jennifer Beal's unaffected performance. Alex is so natural that she easily overcomes the hackneyed plot and its various contrivances. Alex is also only 18 years old (and looks it). I haven't seen a film that treated a young person as an adult in 20 years. And, of course, there is the iconic dancing. The dance sequences aren't as technically impressive as I remembered them, but Jeffery Hornaday's jerky choreography creates a strong image. It has an aggression that I haven't seen in a dance movie since.
"Flashdance" is, on one hand, a by-the-numbers combo of a romance and one of those films where the protagonist must find the courage to pursue her or his dreams. But it's a particularly good example. Not only does it create strong visual and auditory images -with its chart-topping, award-winning soundtrack, it's not entirely saccharine. The working class characters seem authentic, and their dreams don't always come true. Produced in 1983, there is a bit of 1970s malaise in the film that prevents it from getting too sweet. That's the kind of thing I noticed in retrospect that was not obvious to me the first time I saw it. So this one is worth a re-viewing.

The seller was so fast getting this dvd to me. It was a last minute Christmas gift for my husband, and I was so excited it arrived much quicker than expected. Thanks!
