The Phantom of the Opera 6/21 (1990 Kopit ver.)

[@StevieTurtle37D]

I honestly think that Charles Dance is the best Phantom in history. I love how he's so charming, and a gentleman. Like how in pt. I, he tells Christine to 'not be afraid.' There are no incarnations of Erik better than this one.

[@missregal_]

I ADORE this Erik so much. He's so cute, such a lovely gentleman. I just want to hug him like a teddy bear. And also just the way he says: "I never seen such perfection." Wow.

[@constanze0222]

I think so too. He's the greatest of all 😍

[@navidnamini1169]

Why do I have a feeling they kissed when the camera cut off

[@FelizNAVIDad293]

In this version, you can tell there is love and chemistry between Erik and Christine. It’s really beautiful to watch

[@Magpie91]

the last line of Erik to Christine was so sweet, its what every woman wants to hear honestly from a man like Erik did :)

[@sarahisavampire]

I love when she touches his shoulder...so tragic! And when he's lacing her gown...you can't really see his face, but you know he's in pain and ecstacy.

[@AaronRodgerzlover12]

Erik's like her fairy godfather, she's all in rags and he teaches her to sing and provides her with a beautiful dress! (:

[@quantumphysics314]

Raoul has a harem and the Phantom only wants Christine. If I were her I'd be like, "Screw you, de Changy, I have someone who actually cares."

[@kgirl101333]

"don't worry, I've never seen such perfection" LOVE IT!

[@Lemontree23]

7:53, how gentle Erik fixes Christine's dress, such a nice gentleman...

[@presindent]

2:45 is such a romantic scene! the way he looked at her when she touched his shoulder... simply one of the best!

[@phantomismine]

o my word erik is the sweetest!! the way he compliments and looks at her! it's amazing!!!

[@irishnessie]

I know this is fiction.. But look how many fan girls Erik has 😂 I think he'd love this lol

[@Hyunju87]

That's soo sweet how Erik helps her with her dress...it shows that he is in love~~

[@lunaphoenix06]

I love that the manager and his wife are both stressed over Erik's 'pranks' and the inspector doesn't look overly concerned about the whole thing.

[@KatieT97]

3:03 first time I see the Viscount, all I think is: "What is this feeling so sudden and new? I felt the moment I laid eyes on you..... Loathing, unadulterated loathing!" (Any Wicked fans out there?😂)

[@christinedaaewannab4559]

Yes!!!!! Hahah shout out to Wicked!!?

[@nessd3457]

It's so pure so strooonngg!

[@peetey897]

This Erik is so kind, gentle even. I'm kinda falling in love with him.

[@ingridcalderon1994]

Same here

[@phangirl1986]

"You are music itself." "I've never seen such perfection." God, Christine, why did you have to leave Erik?? Okay, so he's a little weird in the head, but he treats you so well, and he's better than Count Fopface! (who sounds like a surfer dude when he makes his entrance: "Whooooa!")

[@idontknowanymore5065]

When I heard it after reading this, it took me a second to realize it, but it does! I am dieing of laughter! 😂😂 Count Fopface the suffer dude! 😂😆

[@CrossAcademyNinja]

awww erik is like a shy teenager...its so cute

[@Arangutang]

Erik can lace a corset? That is so adorable!

[@thecheyenneb_]

"Don't worry. I have never seen such perfection." ♥ Aww, why Christine? Why?! :'(

[@PSColdFire]

Phillipe: "She has the most beautiful voice I've ever heard" Gerard : "Oh...like ALL the women you sent to me for lessons?" LOL

[@XIIIKHRoxas]

"How can I ever repay you for this?" I bet Erik is thinking "Well. You could kiss me. That would be enough." XD

[@navidnamini1169]

Khayman well u know, what happens when the cameras cut off, is free to our imagination. I do think she would have kissed him on the cheek of his mask ;)

[@rocknroll20024]

i lovve when she put a hnad on erik sholder and the look he givs her

[@christinedaaewannab4559]

I love Charles Dance as the Phantom/Erik, he is so sweet and child like, yet so mature. Besides Lon Chaney he is probably my favorite non-musical Phantom.

[@bethmiletti9540]

Why is this broken into parts? It's bad enough without that. Opera should be canned and put in mothballs.

[@WitchonWheels999]

I love this movie soo much. So sad that there isn't a "Making of", or an "Behind the scenes" on the DVD. :-(

[@prisoner__24601]

You know, I've hated a lot of the Raoul/Phillip characters, but this one takes the cake.

[@1S1NGG8]

ERIK'S SO CUTE AWEH

[@k.c.4239]

I love this version of phantom even though it isn't that accurate to the book because he is so kind and gentle

[@2010MzHood]

Oh god I love how she began to blush when he said that last line to her lol

[@gabsfairchild]

Compared to the 2004 version, Raoul and Erik have switched places. Raoul is lust in this, where the The Phantom is lust in 2004... Hmmm. I love this.

[@nikkicoury1475]

This is the best version of the Phantom of the Opera.

[@Diplomatica36]

I love Erik!

[@celestialangel61]

Is it just me, or does foppish hair seem to be a common thing with the De Chagny men

[@idontknowanymore5065]

Yup, all of them had Fopish hair 😂

[@zitp0pper]

Best Erik ever!!!!!

[@Loika693]

Innit though? It makes my inner romantic squeal in a pitch I didn't even think I could reach.

[@chinarose9153]

No, she was dubbed by an opera singer (as was Charles Dance, for the record). Sadly, I don't remember the singer's name just now.

[@goddessofmanga]

Okay the very last part nearly made me swoon. And I never swoon! I really hope this Phantom's face is 2004 bad and not 1989 bad.

[@anitasingh79]

Phantom is beautiful

[@rayna181]

This Erik is so sweet!! I wish he was real. Poor thing. I feel so much sympathy for him. Not that I didnt for Leroux's Erik because I did but, this one is so much nicer!!

[@DaemonMunkir]

That little squeak he makes when he sees Bouque. XD I died (no pun intended)!

[@iDroppedTheMic]

Is it just me, or was watching the Phantom tie her corset kind of hot?

[@aliviastienen]

Same here!

[@julietantonio1049]

Right? I was fanning myself furiously!

[@GlacierGalx3]

OMG raoul is such a pretty boy but is handsome... BUT ERIK OMG THE FEELS! When I saw a long haired guy in a carriage in my mind I was like " it's raoul y'all !!!!!!!!"

[@N3th3scurial]

Sooo cute!

[@annamariadavies5093]

Erik such a gentleman and a charmer! :D But gosh... Raoul is such a FOP!!! >:( He just needs to disappear!!!

[@Tramveller]

It's not even Raoul, in this version it's his older brother Philippe

[@fionamorel]

Carlotta's hat... I don't even have words. *snickers, turning attention back to Phantom*

[@tiffanystewart9265]

looks like a flower pot

[@YatzSliversword]

Phillipe looks disturbingly like Loras Tyrell

[@androswolf]

Wich is kinda ironic considering that, under his mask, Erik looks alot like a younger if a bit disfigured Tywin Lannister :P

[@KingBoss2015]

The phantom is so sweet... :)

[@musicofthenightx90]

Philippe is such a player!! Why would she ever love him?

[@KatieT97]

4:45 Phillpe you effing womanizing fop!

[@Fullmetal1890P]

@sapphire91288 That's not Raoul, that's Phillipe (Raoul's older brother)

[@within17220]

super film j'adore cette partie

[@chrissynewman3959]

Woooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh duuuuuuuuuuuude -3- Jean-Claude, where is the bae, brah?

[@MarigoldSagemonger]

Best Erik

[@name_place]

7:53 So cute!

[@thefiercefalcon]

Raoul looks like Tom Cruise in Interview with a Vampire.

[@tiffanystewart9265]

expect tom is way hotter and can actually pull it off

[@MrShaun42088]

okay Eric... your preening her to be beautiful with a lovely voice and letting her go out alone to a bistro in a lovely dress. Don't be suprised if she falls into the arms of another man.

[@DaemonMunkir]

He sounds disappointed when he said, "Hm... It is you..."

[@lilrowyravenclaw]

AHAHAHA! Raoul's first "whoaaa" made him sound like a surf bum.

[@LilianaCroush]

@Leon61491 And the book "Phantom" by Susan Kay is also worth reading^^

[@greenappletea123]

When you sing I'm in the Heavens ..

[@gaelicbrit1979]

When you sing I live in the heavens. When you do not, down below.

[@Mallrat1988]

"Whooooa." *eyeroll*

[@D22queen]

@PhantomInTraining that is so true

[@castalia60able]

@Arreisenta - Me too!!! No doubt about it -

[@Aliharuno]

Raoul's hair looks like the girls from shampoo commercials.

[@TheFirebird23]

I think this Raoul/Phillipe is much more good looking than in the 2004 version.

[@iwannafishy]

@CreepyElevator true, Phillipe is Raoul's older brother... (It's in the book)

[@kgirl101333]

I know right!

[@WildRoseTransformer]

@202udazzleme You said it, sweetie. I think a lot of people do. He's nothing except a lustful rich boy after Erik's girl!

[@ZiggyWhiskerz]

just so ya know its the Comte in the description you spelled it Conte in the book the one christine loves is really the Vicomte de Chagney interesting that hollywood switches stuff around

[@fionamorel]

@Eliana1181 that's cuz he is!

[@lilanthia]

Lol 0:31 Most masculine scream ever (not)! Aaaaaw, when she touches his shoulder it's so sweet! Hate Raoul/Phillipe tho. Always have, always will. My God does he have a pansy haircut in EVERY version?! And why does he have an army of chorus girls as groupies? Erik, on the other hand, so cute!!!!!!!!!

[@fionamorel]

haha Raoul is such a pervert in this movie...just what I like. Makes Erik look three million times better than he already is :) I love how they portray Erik falling for Christine. lol Carlotta's hat looks like an overstuffed cake

[@tiffanystewart9265]

or a flower pot

[@WallpaperViolence]

I agree with you entirely but...it's Erik with a K sorry...i'm not trying to be rude...it's just I know a lot of Phans that will give you a hell of a time for stuff like that...but anyway yes what you said is right...it's so bitter sweet

[@adelinechuah1047]

Gerard aint taking none of your shit today Phillips

[@fionamorel]

@margrette4 yes!!!

[@PhantomInTraining]

@kol43210 It was a nice save on his part hahaha

[@countryrose93]

for some reason the singer a like 7:15 really distracts me! haha

[@Scar2401]

ok. being a Phantom freak, i normally HATE all Raoul characters but this one is sooo attractive, maybe because he looks so young.

[@operafan14]

really? I thought it was more "I'm being touched, this is the best moment of my life, the girl i'm in love with is touching me!"

[@Arreisenta]

2:45 I was waiting for a kiss-like thing. i would of done it. lol

[@daniellaswann7889]

4:52- why I always hate the Rauol (on in this case Phillipe) of the films/musicals

[@michellehayton3449]

Raoul is such a child in this movie, cannot stand him. He is such a nauseating pretty boy! I would choose Erik any day. True he is more psychotic and dangerous. But he is way more interesting and dynamic! I do not care if he is disfigured, true love comes from the soul!

[@kgirl101333]

lol his reaction to the body, haaha sounded like a chiken

[@imnotlikeothergirls5]

Wow....... Raoul's hair is even more feminine in this one than in the 2004 version

[@SarahArtemisia]

2:45.... SMOLDER ALERT!

[@CrystallineDelight]

It's the fop! :D

[@acinareiemekeorb4662]

Don’t get me wrong I freaking love Erik in this absolutely amazing and genuine and such a gentleman Charles did an incredible job but everyone hates on Philippe/Raoul because he’s not Erik but he reminds me of the Tramp from Lady and the Tramp a womanizer young man until he finds the right one who shows him real love

[@julietterozier1991]

Phillipe as the same haircut as Jean Sarkozy.

[@RetroSmoo]

rofl if u picture christine with black hair she looks like bella from twilight

[@aileenteo7027]

Question: does Charles sing opera? I know the speaking voice is his. Does the singing voice belong to him? And does the singing voice belong to Teri Polo?

[@madphantom7161]

I don't understand, to this day, what is lying on the couch. Somebody plz explain.

[@malory6312]

It's the corpse of Joeseph Boquet. Erik, being Erik, put it there to play a trick on the manger.

[@Greya77]

Tywin lannister is awesome

[@erikcarriere8023]

What I notice about Raoul(Phillpe)That he always seems to be surrounded by girls-ugh!

[@rachelstine2253]

Does anyone know if Teri Polo really sings in this?

[@go2beach51]

Where oh where is Charles Dance's English accent?

[@thenana011]

hahahaahahahahaha 3:04 i was like: no way that's not ra....hahahaha, but it was..lol!

[@AxelXionSora]

Erik is da bomb. I know my grammar, I just wrote it that way because that is the way it ran through my head and I want to say it that way. - note for the grammar Nazis

[@ranigoldenberg6962]

Corpse at 12 o'clock

[@Calucifer13]

@neoguyneo123 But Raoul is sooo sweet here! It´s for the first time ever, actually.
