Amazon.com: That Oscar-winning title song buzzes in your ears long after the movie has stopped. The attraction here is youthful spirit and a pulsating score, because the weak story is merely a conduit for the song-and-dance numbers. The plot is every young woman's daydream come true. Jennifer Beals holds down a macho job as a welder by day, but performs erotic dance numbers in a club at night. It's not a strip club, so her morality remains intact. She dates her wealthy boss (Michael Nouri) and practices hard for the day she can audition for the upscale, local dance school, even though she has no formal training. It is malarkey, of course, unless you view this as total romantic fantasy. It works because you are carried along by the sheer force of the energetic, boisterous, MTV-style imagery by director Adrian Lyne. Beals is a plus as the stubborn, pouty, somewhat eccentric young woman made all the more interesting for her driving ambition. In the end, she is aided by her Prince Charming, who arrives bearing favors. Mind you, this is not the same as a rescue, as Beals is one rather tough damsel who does just fine on her own. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Classic Movie. Still great after all these years!!!! Yes, I am a child of the 80's, so I am partial to this movie along with many other 80's movies as well, but I will say that this movie is one of the most memorable movies of it's time, and has stood the test of time well. It is still popular today with people of all ages.
Jennifer Beals was HOT! Every guy I knew dreamed of being with her, and she made her mark with this movie.
I totally recommend this movie to anyone, and it is truly one of the great movies. People still talk about it today!!! The dance scene at the end was incredible!!!
" They have no business, being in business. " My review is of the vendor MOVIEMARS, and the way they (don') conduct business, three weeks I placed an order w/MOVIEMARS, and paid for an order of a Special Collector's Edition w/Bonus CD(included). They shipped the wrong DVD, at this time I have paid(twice the standard price) for the Special Edition, but I received the standard edition DVD. Three weeks and four e-mails later all I receive from them is a 'form letter/canned response' reply, I have asked them to just send me the CD that I paid for. Their solution to THEIR MISTAKE is for me to send back to them - so that thay can 're-send' back to me. To my way of thinking this is just so WASTEFUL and UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED, instead of two mailings(putting more strain on an already overburdened Postal System), they only need to send me my CD(which I have already paid for), to make things right! Amazon, MOVIEMARS is BAD for your BUSINESS, they don't know THEIR BUSINESS, so they shouldn't be in BUSINESS!
Thanks for shipping my CD so quickly! I had previously ordered this CD from another seller and had a terrible experience. I wound up getting a refund on that order...which I never received.
I re-ordered from this seller and the CD arrived promptly and in great condition.
The CD is wonderful. Rihanna just keeps getting better. Great artist.
80's Flashdance flashback is great fun This movie is probably considered a chick flick, but it's more than that. It has great music and really fun dance scenes. The 2 plots lines are very good. First where she is trying to get in to a serious dance school and second, her romance with the rich boss. You can't go wrong with this 80's flashback. It's really good fun.
All TIme Fave One of my all time favorite movies. I love the music. I love the dancing. I love the Cinderella story. Gee, what's not to love. Definitely a chick flick.
