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
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 ;-)
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 UA-cam 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
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 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.
Came across this clip while browsing UA-cam. 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 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.
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.
this tune still nearly makes me tear up every time I watch or hear it, remembering watching the movie electric dreams and the story behind it,its so romantic, she a concert cellist, and he a tech geek wanting to make a new type of earthquake-proof brick, such a great story,it is a must watch
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.
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.
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.
I still get chills, when I Listen to this after all these years. I come back from time to time just to hear it again. 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.
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.
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...
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)
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 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.
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 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!
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!
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.
@@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.
oh i love this year.i was 16.1984 what a year.the early eighties were fantastic time.synth pop rules.i drive a 1980s style car.made in 92 .a 940 volvo.they kept the eigthies styling .way into the 90s.the cars ,films ,music.this era ,will never die ,in my mind,just like the 70s.the eighties are forever ,in electric dreams😍😍😍😍
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 🙂
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
Love this movie, I grew up on it. This duet was the first melody I learnt to play by ear on piano, nowadays I can play full songs just by listening to them a few times
listen from the beginning, anyone who reads this comment but not too long @2:12, is my favorite part! everyone born after the 6/4/1991 should appreciate this classic from the 80's.
YES!! Was rewatching this last night and thinking the exact same thing. I was 16 years old when this movie came out and was in awe of what Edgar could do, things that now we take for granted as Alexa turns off all our lights, and our desktop computers are more powerful than 20 Edgar 'Pinecone' computer. But I'd go back to what society was back in the 80's in a millisecond. It may not have seemed amazing at the time, but considering what society has become now due in great part to technology, I'd say it was glorious back then. Who knew?!
Its beautiful. Every song that recycles Minuet in G maj / Canon in G is amazing no matter what decade or genre. Wish I was back there right now. My time.
This was just one of those films that inspired ...I was already giving concerts experimenting with live computers ( Atari ha ha) with live grand piano but this piece just became an obsession ..loved it so much and has featured on quite a few of my albums since.....just fantastic and the whole film takes me back to being 18 and studying music and living in London and having a ball in the 80s :) 😊
I was convinced of Virginia Madsen from Sideways (2004)...then went back in time 20yrs via UA-cam, and left my DeLorean in the garage. She has her own slice of Hollywood, uncontested. Minor character in Dune, but wow!
This movie makes me happy. Together in an electric dreams is my all time favorite song. I went and saw Human League love just for this song even though they have other fantastic songs.

Amazing soundtrack.... Still listening to it 40 years on ... And Virginia Madsen was so adorable ❤
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.
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😢
Still one of the most underrated movies ever made.
some would say it is impossible to not cry to this!
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!
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!
Virginia Madsen is so beautiful!
Felix Ng I love that twitch of her nose and maybe a chuckle... Would love to know the story behind it.
Had a crush on her back in the days. Still like her very much :)
WAS........
She is absolutely stunning in Dune 1984. She should have focused on playing period roles as a princess or royalty as she has a timeless look.
@@hp9mm still is, almost forty years later.
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.
Many more people remember this movie and how the movie was refreshingly nice and sad at the same time.
This predates that 2013 Joaquin Phoenix -She movie
Love it. Always look at thrift shops. It's expensive new!
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 hope you have a lot more lies & comments
Excellent and creative duet! Filled with love and life!
We sooo need something like this movie now !!
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.
One of my all-time favorite movies!!!!
Neat

Such a good movie... A hidden gem for so many people
Virginia Madsen,beautiful.I love this movie 'Electric Dreams'.RIP Lenny Von Dohlen.I love 80's era.
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 80s music is the best The music brings so much joy and happiness Anyone who listens to the 80s music will know Enjoy!
Virginia Madsen is beautiful. And what a wonderfully happy smile!
Princess Irulan.
That "nose scrunch" as though she didnt quite hit the right note, is cute.
@@gorillaaudude, that "nose scrunch" drives me wild!
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
Love this movie, I grew up on it. This duet was the first melody I learnt to play by ear on piano, nowadays I can play full songs just by listening to them a few times
She’s really beautiful, then and now.❤️
great film and great soundtrack, thank you for triggering the emotions again
Aaaah! This takes me back to my childhood. 😊😍
The soundtrack for this movie was *INCREDIBLE!*
good clip, bring back my memory. those days ... my Apple II ...
Loved this movie forever. Just wish it had occurred to me to learn music earlier. Still, not too late...
I fell in love with this film the first time I saw it. The soundtrack is awesome.
listen from the beginning, anyone who reads this comment but not too long @2:12, is my favorite part! everyone born after the 6/4/1991 should appreciate this classic from the 80's.
I am crying. I was a computer science major freshman when I watched this movie...
Can you imagine? This movie predicted Alexa, Siri and every other app that can listen to you and respond.
YES!! Was rewatching this last night and thinking the exact same thing. I was 16 years old when this movie came out and was in awe of what Edgar could do, things that now we take for granted as Alexa turns off all our lights, and our desktop computers are more powerful than 20 Edgar 'Pinecone' computer. But I'd go back to what society was back in the 80's in a millisecond. It may not have seemed amazing at the time, but considering what society has become now due in great part to technology, I'd say it was glorious back then. Who knew?!
Terminator, War Games, yeah there were some good flicks that predicted the power of AI
Sorry just watched again (popped up on feed) , I'm still 56 and she's still Gorgeous. 80's films rock.
I love love this movie!! "Electric Dreams" 🤩
November 2024 & I’m still loving this film & song ❤❤
I’m 45 and my mother to this day calls me Moles because of this movie. It was one of our favorites.
The best scene i watch when i was young. I was a secondary school student. good old days...
I played so many instruments in high school. The one that I never did but I always loved was the cello. I saw this movie and I died inside.
I've just realised I've commented on this vid 4 times over the years, I'm 56 next month and she's still Gorgeous.
I remember this song and this movie almost 40 years
Its beautiful. Every song that recycles Minuet in G maj / Canon in G is amazing no matter what decade or genre. Wish I was back there right now. My time.
one of the greatest 80s films ever made but sadly never shown
This was just one of those films that inspired ...I was already giving concerts experimenting with live computers ( Atari ha ha) with live grand piano but this piece just became an obsession ..loved it so much and has featured on quite a few of my albums since.....just fantastic and the whole film takes me back to being 18 and studying music and living in London and having a ball in the 80s :) 😊
I was convinced of Virginia Madsen from Sideways (2004)...then went back in time 20yrs via UA-cam, and left my DeLorean in the garage. She has her own slice of Hollywood, uncontested. Minor character in Dune, but wow!
Love how there is a musical hybrid...and the flow is amazing...hope that it is enjoyed
This movie makes me happy. Together in an electric dreams is my all time favorite song. I went and saw Human League love just for this song even though they have other fantastic songs.
Machine learning in 1984, who'd have known it?!!!
Great movie and great music, my favourite music to play on the Piano.
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!
