Electric Dreams - "Love is give and not take..."

If a computer can learn the true meaning of love, then why can't we? :)
"Electric Dreams is a 1984 British-American science fiction romantic comedy-drama film set in San Francisco, California, that depicts a love triangle between a man, a woman, and a home computer. It stars Lenny Von Dohlen, Virginia Madsen, and the voice of Bud Cort and was directed by Steve Barron." (Wikipedia)

Just cannot believe it, so saddened to have heard about the sad passing of Lenny Von Dohlen, a wonderful film actor the best ever, best known for playing Miles Harding in the great film Electric Dreams, which was the best film ever since 1984. Lenny will be deeply missed, Deepest condolences goes to Lenny's family during this very sad emotional time. Rest in Peace Lenny and God Bless.😥😢🙁😪🙏💔

[@scottyPsychotty]

Virginia Madsen referred to Lenny as “my miles”… heartbroken

[@singin8324]

That really is sad, I didn't even know until you mentioned it. Listening to Madelines theme now makes it even more emotional.

[@jc-qd6be]

thank you . . r.i.p. .you made my childhood so very happy.

[@BearsDashcamVids]

After all these years this is still my #1 favorite movie of all time. I still cry at this scene.

[@singin8324]

Yeah this piece of music is on another level, it really gets you.

[@BearsDashcamVids]

@@singin8324 It's called "Madeline's Theme." I agree with @Dean Clark, one of the best movie soundtracks ever. Have (not had) the cassette, LP and CD. RIP Lenny. 😥😥

[@singin8324]

@@BearsDashcamVids Yes, I remember the name now you said, I have it on my ipod somewhere from years ago, thanks for the reminder, I'm going to put it on my phone now. Nice one.

Virginia Madsen I always thought was one of the Most Beautiful woman that ever lived!!❤❤

A computer knows what love is better than most people

[@deanclark9546]

I always loved this soundtrack Georgio Moroder is genius.

[@MasterJediDude]

I knew it! I came here after listening to the Scarface soundtrack. This song and the Gina theme from Scarface share some chords. Amazing work by Georgio Moroder.

[@jaseboon6282]

40yrs later this still makes me tear up

[@Realmasterorder]

Beautifull movie great scene and themes,its so nice and sad at the same time,especially when the edgar realized the what love is and when she must have found out it was the Computer that loved her and played music with her ... Damn even though this a cheesy 80's movie,this still brings a tear to my eye

[@forchun88arrereh50]

I cried more to this than I did in Old Yeller.

Me too xD I know most cried to that swamp scene in Never Ending Story but this movie I had to excuse myself and ran to the toilet and just balled my eyes out

[@dcallaway1]

RIP Lenny

[@gordondavis6168]

For other commentators, he didn’t reattach the sound card, he snapped in the voice synthesizer, for those who remember cards.

[@CubeTX]

As ridiculous as this sounds, I'm not one of those people who cries for many movies. I think maybe 6 movies total in my life actually made me tear. All of them do every time and this is one of them because of this scene. Strangely this is one of them

[@squirrelattackspidy]

Virginia Madsen was a real babe back in the day. What a sad ending though. I wish Edgar didn't die.

[@Kipple]

But Edgar didn't! He went to that space that we now call the internet. :)

[@raulruizruiz9608]

GOOD OLE EDGAR TELLS WHAT LOVE IS ACTUALLY,.. IT'S GIVE AND NOT TAKE AND THEN ADDS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR BY LETTING US KNOW IT'S A GAME ONLY TWO CAN PLAY,....WOW!!

[@evag6370]

She was such a cutie.

[@leuris_khan2]

Yes. I falling in Love

Really good quality picture. Great scene. Let's be real. Edgar stole the show. Edgar.................Bud Cort.

Back when romance and innocent love was still possible, when an average guy could get the girl. Luckily I found my Mrs around this time. Still in love 33 years later, she is looking at me weird sitting on the couch.

Fantastic soundtrack and amazing cast for both of them The scenario is nowadays probably childish but still touching our hearts. The computerized crap from today is just comedy compering with the movies of 70s-80s

[@lakebay972]

daughterofolaf He also played a rapist/killer photographer on “Walker, Texas Ranger.” His targets were model-looking women. I wish Chuck Norris would’ve decimated him; but he left it up to the old man who was a retired Ranger; and this was the guy he couldn’t catch.

[@victorwilson6826]

Okay, two questions. Miles comes in later and reattaches the sound card (which actually looked more like an array of transistor flip flops) to the motherboard. So how could Madeline hear and emotionally respond to the music? And where are the computer speakers? Just wondering.

[@ruelguitar2k]

The speakers were placed above the computer. Miles installed many accesories of the computer but it was shown briefly in the movie including the speakers.
