A very good decision ! I am working as a teacher for computer science in Germany. We have one big problem in this country: girls are not interested in computers. No matter what we are trying - and we are doing a lot to convince them. It's really terrible ! - So maybe I should try by showing them this video ;-)
My Dad showed me this movie in 1997 when I was 5. I had never used a computer so this was all new to me and it was basically Magic. I was immediately hooked and fell in love with computers.
I don’t think it was ahead of its time..just part of the electronic shift that dominated the 80’s. I agree, though. Great movie. Wish I could find it on dvd
As someone from Gen Z, this movie is PERFECT and made me obbsessed with the thought of sentient electronics. This movie needs SO much more recognition with how absolutely amazing it is. This scene has got to be my favorite
I saw "Electric Dreams" when it was in the theaters originally - it combined my two favorite loves - computers and music. I thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread, and was so happy to find it on VHS back in the late 90's. Unfortunately, due to a fire I lost it.. and mourned the loss since they never released it on DVD in the US. Thankfully, I found a UK version which I was able to digitize into my NAS and eliminate the regional codes along with the PAL vs. NTSC conversions! This has always been one of my favorites and helped shaped my life - after this, I went to London School of Music for my first degree, and then (through the US Navy) completed my degree in computer science and electrical engineering. This movie was waaaaay ahead of it's time, predicting digital music, the internet, smart homes, etc. I wish more people knew about it. Still one of my very favorites (especially since I just finished watching it tonight, almost 35 years after it came out)!
@@0_1_2 Wow - I wrote this response to you earlier, but either I made a mistake or RUclips had a hiccup... Do you feel better for being a "superior" dick for having nothing to say that would contribute something positive? Of course, that would have required you having some sort of foundation behind your statement that would have shown you were on the side of truth. It would have worked much better if you would have been accurate in your statements instead of assumptions. This movie came out in 1984; a full TWO YEARS before DNS was created, which means that the few networks that existed at that time were anchored by a couple of universities that participated in the research and were the descendants of the original ARPAnet. DNS is considered the first step on the road to what we consider the internet. At least, that's what they were teaching when I was going through architecture and engineering technologies instead of sleeping or "watching movies." Perhaps instead of being a less-than-stellar-dick, you could offer some positive feedback - whether it be criticism in my post, or questioning, or even querying for some real education. Being positive always is much more stress-free and will help your heart-rate and overall physical health; quite frankly, you don't have the knowledge or meat to be a dick. When you get out of your parent's basement, I wish you the best in life and that you learn stuff before you criticize in such a way. RBS
Not realy. The Minuet in G major was found in "Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach", but is not from J.S. Bach, but from Christian Petzold. Also see "Suite de Clavecin" by Petzold. The fact Bach wan't the composer is known since 1979.
Came across this clip while browsing RUclips. I had no idea this movie even existed. But I watched it and just loved it. Great soundtrack and Virginia Madsen is just so smoking hot. Like I was just glued to her every time she was onscreen. Awesome flick!
I have had the same 2 ring tones on my phones for the last 12 years, this and the keyboard rift form the last train to transcentral by the KLF. I absolutely love this movie and this tune. Gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
Moles aka Lenny von Dohlen (1958-2022) sadly passed away at 63. This was an awesome and one of my favorite films from the 80s, saw it when I was a kid back in 84ish.
So Happy! I found this on RUclips, great to be able to recapture the sounds of the 80's that I remember. Was looking for songs since I've had a cochlear implant wasn't sure it still existed or if I was remembering hearing that 40yrs ago. Thanks you for the great memory!
I watched this movie 3 times in the theater,I love the soundtrack especially 'Together In Electric Dreams'.I'm still listening the song that brings back memories in the 80's.
从 Love Is Love 这首歌来的，然后看了《电脑梦幻曲》（又名《神通情人梦》）这部1984年的美国电影。 很不错的 科学幻想+都市恋爱 轻喜剧，弗吉尼亚·麦德逊真的太漂亮啦（心中西方情人的样子？^^） 这首 The Duel 也是林子祥《数字人生》的原曲。 片尾曲 Together in Electric Dreams 也很好听，互不相识的朋友在网上（电子世界）相约，立意很棒！ After listening to the song Love Is Love, I watched the American movie Electric Dreams which is released in 1984. Brilliant science fiction and urban romantic light comedy, Virginia Madsen looks gorgeous (My dreaming western lover should be? ^^) The Duel is also the original music of George Lam's Numerical Life. The ending song Together in Electric Dreams touches me a lot, friends don't know each other, meeting on Internet (Electric World), what a conception!
Wow, this reminds me the great early 80ies, best time of my life. The 80ies had a lot of great things: Great movies, great music, great lifestyle and the life was so easy. The last useful decade...
I was six when this movie came out. I fell in love with the cello! I just scoured the internet to find the movie. The funny thing is that I had no memory of the computer. In my memory it was a love story between a cello player and the downstairs neighbor.
Ah, the '80s. I think I'm starting to understand why so many of us are nostalgic for that decade - there was so much potential that had yet to be fully realized. Now it seems people are beginning to think we've reached our limit. I suppose such people don't fully appreciate how much further we can go, if we are but brave enough to dare. 😎
No dude. The 80's felt great because the West acted like we could thrive on infinite resources, while the rest of the world was left behind - out of sight though, so no problem. But there is no such thing as a free lunch. Sooner or later someone will have to pay, and we are struggling just to push that moment forward on.

This duet was so poignant and beautiful, the way Giorgio updated the classic is just beautiful. Electric dreams, is the fantastic romantic movie, hope and wonder. And for me a hopeless romantic, it was just perfect.

This is one of my favorite movies that very few people watched or even knew existed. This version of Lovers Concerto is kinda off beat, but a nice listen. About once a year I pull it out watch it. It always brings a smile to my face and brightens my day.
I know this movie. I remember it being on tv the first time when I was 11. I taped it, and watch it to death for 6 months. It cheered me up starting high school, and of course I fell in love with Madelane too.
I loved this movie, and this song. Haven't heard it in many years, it really brings back memories from my youth (I was 14 when this movie came). Giorgio Moroder has made so many great songs; this and the song that's played in the end of "Midnight Express" are my favorites.
I saw the Film, was caught by the Story and Fell for Virginia right after looking her playing the Cello scene. Mostly unterrated Film from the mid 80s.

That women and Cello. Amazing. This is one of those videos you see as a teenager that changes your life. You're into tech {amigas etc, sequencers) and this Cello sound comes along. WOW. She's still gorgeous. Just released she is in Designated Survivor. Pretty Lady.

The innocence in the beauty is such, one just looks into her eyes, no talks. And the eyes communicate, bringing the communion. Fortunate enough to love someone that deep. Yes, it was my true love, long gone, feels like past life.
I was 20-21 when I saw this. Fell in love with the Cello. I have at least 250 different albums featuring The Cello from Classical to contemporary. I know a bit obsessive but I just love the range the instrument can play with the right artists.
Wow, I was 18 when this came out, and just about to go off to University to take a degree in computer science...its brings back good memories; a time before we had sold our collective sole to China... but I cannot help but wonder why didn't Apple get their Mac into this movie... I guess it wasn't quite ready... AI in action... and everyone things its a new thing :)
This is one of my favorite movies, this is one of my favorite parts of the movie, Electric Dreams is a great love story. Virginia Madison is absolutely gorgeous, I still can remember the first time I watched the movie, and the movie fits me since I am a computer technician.
Questo pezzo molti lo hanno ritenuto banale per la sua semplicità invece nasconde una genialità unica. Innanzitutto spiega il legame tra il computer e la ragazza (tra l'uomo e dio?)...lei inizia a suonare e lui la segue, il pc non può pensare quindi imita le sue note...poi la accompagna, poi capisce, poi imita le sue note, poi le da il tempo....è bellissimo... perchè dimostra che la risposta anche se è un computer la abbiamo sempre un qualche modo e anche se siamo diversi c'è sempre qualcuno che ci segue e ci apprezza per quello che siamo. grazie giorgio.

I saw this when I was 11. Our school acquired Apple computers in 1983. I was learning to program in a gifted class...3rd grade.. BASIC, COBOL. A radio station had a call-in contest. We had a super-fast redial button! I won tickets and my older sister took me to the theater. It was great on the big screen. Unforgettable. I re-watched it yesterday at 50 with our son. Hello AI! I was a little creeped out by Mikes. Why did he lie to her at first? Awkward insecure...but, a good heart.
HA HA HA I was in the gifted program '83, too! Except we had to learn BASIC on TRS-80s.....I hated it, thought it was SO boring....might've been better off I'd stuck with it....good times, the eighties were the BEST time to grow up!
Ah, Virginia Madsen where I fell in love with her. (so did many people) fell in love with the cello after watching this Giorgio Moroder the genius music man
I remember this so many years ago when the film came out - I was 19 yrs old - can't tell you want the film was about (think it had something to do with a shy guy that spends all his time on computers and a neighbour who played the cello) but one thing I do remember 40 years after it came out was this iconic piece of music - at the time, in a great big cinema with surround sound, I thought it was so beautiful - and though I've heard more music just as beautiful - it says something that this scene stayed with me for over 40 years 🙂
the movie was originally released as a tv movie and was converted to tape till 8 months after its release it was never intended for release to the big screen but it get there a dvd was never cut but you can find vhs tapes floating around also a vhs tape of the music from the movie

Virginia Madsen,beautiful.I love this movie 'Electric Dreams'.RIP Lenny Von Dohlen.I love 80's era.
We sooo need something like this movie now !!
I love that second "blip" by the computer at 1:11, it's like saying: "Ok, your turn now!"
I remember having this clip on long before I had access to RUclips. Part of my childhood now.
I was 20-21 when I saw this. Fell in love with the Cello. I have at least 250 different albums featuring The Cello from Classical to contemporary. I know a bit obsessive but I just love the range the instrument can play with the right artists.
Wow, I was 18 when this came out, and just about to go off to University to take a degree in computer science...its brings back good memories; a time before we had sold our collective sole to China... but I cannot help but wonder why didn't Apple get their Mac into this movie... I guess it wasn't quite ready... AI in action... and everyone things its a new thing :)
This is one of my favorite movies, this is one of my favorite parts of the movie, Electric Dreams is a great love story. Virginia Madison is absolutely gorgeous, I still can remember the first time I watched the movie, and the movie fits me since I am a computer technician.
Pure 80er Jahre Emotionen, toller Soundtrack👍👍👍❤️ Giorgio Moroder, Phil Oakey and Virginia Madsen...❤️❤️❤️
Brings back memories....which is....Life itself.
Favorite scene of the movie, the awesome upbeat music & camera movements are in perfect harmony :)
I am crying. I was a computer science major freshman when I watched this movie...
Questo pezzo molti lo hanno ritenuto banale per la sua semplicità invece nasconde una genialità unica. Innanzitutto spiega il legame tra il computer e la ragazza (tra l'uomo e dio?)...lei inizia a suonare e lui la segue, il pc non può pensare quindi imita le sue note...poi la accompagna, poi capisce, poi imita le sue note, poi le da il tempo....è bellissimo... perchè dimostra che la risposta anche se è un computer la abbiamo sempre un qualche modo e anche se siamo diversi c'è sempre qualcuno che ci segue e ci apprezza per quello che siamo. grazie giorgio.
Yeah, yeah, that´s what i álways has said, PIZZA IS THE ANSWER TO EVERYTHING !. -Don´t care if no one understands you,..it´s THEIR problem !. Just chew on and swallow as you wish !..🍕👏
Minuet in G major is among my all time favorite classical songs!
Who's here in 2025. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
👍
This film means a lot
Meeeee
I don't remember my parents buying this on VHS. However, it was in our home and as a kid I just constantly wanted to watch!
This movie was produced when i was a kid. I watched this movie when i was a teenager. Till today I still find this movie is nice (no word to describe, it makes me feel good)
good clip, bring back my memory. those days ... my Apple II ...
Love this movie and especially this scene! I have the VHS, The DVD, the soundtrack Vinyl, The cassette and the CD! It’s a movie that for some reason has a really special place in my heart… just love it!
great film and great soundtrack, thank you for triggering the emotions again
some would say it is impossible to not cry to this!
Virginia,un délice pour les yeux ,et l'ordi pas en reste qui m'a conforté (y'a 1000 ans) des possibilités des ordis.J'avouerai qu'à l'époque je matais + les ordis.
Little did she know that she was talking to Skynet in the process of attaining self-awareness. :)
Except that Edgar commits suicide at the end of the movie.
@@edwinfrydendall6274 you must be blasting at parties.
@@silviakunaballero8610 Actually Edger destroys his "physical form" and basically lives in some sort of early 80's type of internet form, proababl bouncing around from server to server. Arpanet? Anyway, we know this because he dedicates the title song to them at the end.
Cannot forget this movie. ❤. Trying to find on various channels. Can someone help. Saw this in theater when I asked doing my graduation in 1984
If you're in the USA, Amazon Prime has it. Some countries have released it on Blu-ray as well. It's definitely out there. I just watched it last night (for the millionth time in 40 years) ❤
I remember this song and this movie almost 40 years
I've been looking for this piece of music for over 20 years it was so mesmerizing to me as a kid how artificial technology could mimic a classic song.❤ I'm so happy somebody put it up. And I had such a crush on Virginia Madsen she could cry like no other actress😢
I love love this movie!! "Electric Dreams" 🤩
This scene is just a masterpeice on so many levels.
I saw this when I was 11. Our school acquired Apple computers in 1983. I was learning to program in a gifted class...3rd grade.. BASIC, COBOL. A radio station had a call-in contest. We had a super-fast redial button! I won tickets and my older sister took me to the theater. It was great on the big screen. Unforgettable. I re-watched it yesterday at 50 with our son. Hello AI! I was a little creeped out by Mikes. Why did he lie to her at first? Awkward insecure...but, a good heart.
HA HA HA I was in the gifted program '83, too! Except we had to learn BASIC on TRS-80s.....I hated it, thought it was SO boring....might've been better off I'd stuck with it....good times, the eighties were the BEST time to grow up!
Love this movie just managed to get it on dvd. Poor vhs was showing age
I’m 45 and my mother to this day calls me Moles because of this movie. It was one of our favorites.
Sorry just watched again (popped up on feed) , I'm still 56 and she's still Gorgeous. 80's films rock.
Ah, Virginia Madsen where I fell in love with her. (so did many people)
fell in love with the cello after watching this
Giorgio Moroder the genius music man
I remember this so many years ago when the film came out - I was 19 yrs old - can't tell you want the film was about (think it had something to do with a shy guy that spends all his time on computers and a neighbour who played the cello) but one thing I do remember 40 years after it came out was this iconic piece of music - at the time, in a great big cinema with surround sound, I thought it was so beautiful - and though I've heard more music just as beautiful - it says something that this scene stayed with me for over 40 years 🙂
A great film great soundtrack and Virginia Madsen. No fillers, no drawn on eyebrows and no limpet lips. Just shear beauty
The best scene i watch when i was young. I was a secondary school student. good old days...
one of the greatest 80s films ever made but sadly never shown
the movie was originally released as a tv movie and was converted to tape till 8 months after its release it was never intended for release to the big screen but it get there a dvd was never cut but you can find vhs tapes floating around also a vhs tape of the music from the movie
Virginia Madsen 😍😍
Amen brother
Whatever happened to her?! Had the biggest crush on her😍
@@Conservative_froggymax she is still acting ... she never became a major leading lady but she does a lot of supporting roles ... here is her IMDB page: www.imdb.com/name/nm0000515/?ref_=nv_sr_1
@@rugratz2222 | Over 35 years doing a mix of TV and film roles. She is also the sister of actor Michael Madsen (Reservoir Dogs), so acting runs in the family.
She was gorgeous!
