Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Soundtrack Spanish; English Subtitles; DVD Included In Adrian Lyne's FLASHDANCE, a young woman, Alex (Jennifer Beals), strives to achieve success as a classical dancer, but economic forces require her to work as a welder by day and an exotic dancer by night. Standing in her way is an abundance of profound social obstacles, not the least of which is her boss at the welding factory, Nick (Michael Nouri), who is also her boyfriend. Alex strives to be accepted into a prestigious ballet academy, and she is furious when she realizes that her boyfriend might be pulling strings for her behind the scenes. Along the road to self-discovery and independence, Alex also struggles to accept love, come to terms with her own stubbornness, and find the inner strength to turn her lofty dreams into reality.
Edited for maximum rhythmic impact, FLASHDANCE is full of glistening bodies and metallic surfaces, powered by Giorgio Moroder's throbbing music and one hit song after another: Michael Sembello's "Maniac," Karen Karmen's "Manhunt," and, notably, Irene Cara's Oscar-winning theme song, "Flashdance...What a Feeling." FLASHDANCE marks the first coproduction between Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, who geared the film toward the MTV generation. Theatrical release: April 15, 1983.
FLASHDANCE was never a "number one" movie, but it ran for months, its string of hit songs keeping it in the public eye. Eventually, it earned $95 million in theaters in the U.S.
Adrian Lyne had doubts about FLASHDANCE; he was asked eight times before he agreed to direct the movie.
Before FLASHDANCE was filmed, Jerry Bruckheimer and screenwriter Joe Eszterhaus searched for bars with "flashdancers." The pair returned with the news that there were none. Undaunted, the filmmakers made one up for their story.
French dancer Marine Jahan was the uncredited double who performed most of Jennifer Beals's dances in FLASHDANCE. Flashdance Quotes/Excerpts: "Don't you understand? You give up your dream, you die."--Nick Hurley (Michael Nouri) to Alex (Jennifer Beals) Flashdance Reviews: "...Beals is a radiant, doe-eyed young beauty..."
-- Janet Maslin, New York Times "...An anthology of extraordinarily flashy dance numbers to the accompaniment of over a dozen high-powered tunes..."

I loved it!!!!!!!
I love movies where a person's dream comes true. A fantastic story mixed memorable music.
It is important in a story line to have characters the viewer can identify with. You may not be able to identify with the characters in Flashdance, but many can identify with the feeling of winning in the end.

This review is for a different format.  Not that great
For some reason Flashdance is viewed as a classic, but other than the climactic dance sequence the movie, in my opinion, is a flop.

Blondie (Clint Eastwood) and Tuco (Eli Wallach) are gunmen who admire each other professionally but dislike each other personally. Encountering a group of dying soldiers, Tuco learns the location of the graveyard where a Confederate treasure is buried, while Blondie learns the identity of the exact grave. Joined by mercenary drifter Angel Eyes (Lee Van Cleef), they cross the desert, each of the desperadoes knowing half the secret and each focusing his squinty eyes on the $200,000 bounty.
In a classic that puts style above substance, Italian director Sergio Leone uses vivid Cinemascope imagery to depict a bleak and bloody American West in this final installment of his collaboration with Clint Eastwood in the Man with No Name Trilogy. A prototype for the so-called Spaghetti Western genre, the film solidified Eastwood's position as a major international star with his stoic, brooding presence. Cinematographer Tonino Delli Colli's stunning visuals are a match for the vivacious Ennio Morricone score, one of the most recognizable in all of cinema. Although the film was not released in the United States until 1967, it was produced and released internationally in 1966.

| | Before The Rain DVD (1994) Widescreen
Flashdance DVD
$28.65
A three-part drama which alternates between London and Macedonia. In Part 1, "Words," a young Macedonian monk protects a runaway Albanian girl. In Part 2, "Faces," focuses on a love affair in London. Part 3, "Pictures" is set back in Macedonia where a bloody ethnic conflict is brewing.
The first film made in the newly independent Republic of Macedonia, Milcho Manchevski's Before the Rain crosscuts the stories of an orthodox Christian monk (Grgoire Colin), a British photo agent (Katrin Cartlidge), and a native Macedonian war photographer (Rade erbedija) to paint a portrait of simmering, entrenched ethnic and religious hatred about to reach its boiling point. Made during the strife of the war-torn Balkan states in the nineties, this gripping triptych of love and violence is also a timeless evocation of the loss of pastoral innocence, and remains one of recent cinema's most poetic evocations of the futility of war.

Flashdance movie DVD
$31.65
For a functioning alcoholic, detective Grace Hanadarko is an unusually effective asset to the Oklahoma City police department. Spending her time off the job sleeping around with married men, flashing her elderly neighbor, and binge-drinking herself into oblivion, the brilliant and loving Grace has a completely different passion and set of ethics when it's time for work, investigating major crimes with the kind of gusto usually reserved for someone who remembers what she did last night. As this first season opens, a drunken Grace finds herself confronted with the scruffy, divinely winged Earl (Leon Rippy) after accidentally killing a pedestrian with her car and crying out for God's help. Before disappearing along with the hit-and-run victim, Earl tells Grace she's heading for hell. All that's left on the scene is a trace of blood, which Grace promptly takes to her forensic expert friend (Laura San Giacomo) for examining. The blood, it seems, belongs to a still-living death row inmate (Bokeem Woodbine), who also receives visits from Earl. Academy Award-winner Holly Hunter stars as Grace, a truly unique police procedural heroine on the path to redemption in this spiritual and sometimes hilarious dramatic series.
Holly Hunter stars as a detective who kills a man in a drunken car crash and is given a second chance at life from an angel in this TNT series. Bonuses: episode commentaries, season one rapid recap, featurettes, music video.
