Copacabana The Movie - ©1985

[chrissilou813]

I never got to see this when it first aired. I found Barry's acting very endearing! For his first shot at acting I thought he did very well. There is just something so genuine about him. How could you not like him? Thanks so much for posting this. You made my day!

[elsucioharri]

One of the sadest movies I've saw as kid!!!!

[Sexygirlphoebe]

What happened at the end?

[GazzaLloyd]

Please could you tell me if it's the same Annette O'Toole that is in this, that has also recently co-starred in Smallville as the young Clark Kents mom or not ?

[pincus74]

@GazzaLloyd Yes. One and the same my friend. Annette O'Toole.

[RosewaterElf]

Ummm...NO! I love me some Barry but that ranks as one of the worst films I have ever seen - besides the bit where he is trying to sell a song and keeps adapting his style. That was too cute/funny! Still, I am grateful to have seen it so thanks for uploading it :)

[Escul1960]

Point of information - the man who wrote the screenplay is James Lipton who is also the host of "Inside the Actors Studio".....

[kitten11645]

Love the part where he sings Who Needs To Dream to Lola!! :)

[moskalification]

I bad now english?but barry-grat singer and actor!!! Glory him!!!

[crystabellbloodroze]

WOW, it's the entire movie, I haven't seen this in years! Barry is a bit of a cheese ball, as an actor, but still pretty entertaining. The commercials from 1985 are interesting as well. And, there's some bonus Barry at the end if you watch the whole movie. Awesome! Thank you for posting this!

[mirocreed]

[cmdrryvok]

Thanks NYBRIAN5 for bringing back memories... I remember watching this movie when it first came out and have been looking for it... It was a great movie in it's time and I still enjoy it...

[clarec3]

[navasalejandra]

do I am the only one who wanted a happy ending this time :( ?

[armandoloyal]

It's great to see this movie again. I remember watch ing it with the family when I was a kid. Brings back great memories.

[fbbitt01]

i played stephen in the musical and sang who needs to dream and a few others that arent in this version but i loved every second of it.

[Yankeerose70]

Great movie! Haven't seen it in probably 25. yrs... Thanks so much for posting!!

[Bethybooxful]

how long into it before lola sings just arrive ?

[mattgringogreen]

@Bethybooxful That song isn't in the movie, it was written for the 1994 West End musical version.

[Lohikano]

Barry Manilow was my greatest idol among all the singers and songwriters in the world. But it's only today that I knew (and I watched) that he had a movie. A great movie!

I liked it very much!!! Thank you for posting this one Mr. nybrian5.

[TheFilmCast]

OMG THEY SKIPPED MY FAVORITE SONG IMMA KILL THEM DAMNIT AND THEY MESSED UP THE PLOT UGH

[Phantomdubber]

@TheFilmCast this was the original thing XD

[Lainie48]

Thank you soooo much for posting this wonderful movie, I love the songs in it, and in fact my young daughter sang "Man Wanted" and did a great job of it, again thanks so much.

[goldsmith1210]

That's Tom Bosley talking in the Sears ad. RIP Mr. C

[radakleiman]

Thank you so much for this movie, I have been looking for it for over 15 years, and could not find it anywhere... good bless you :)

[iyadart]

lol with commercials and news!! just like travelling back in time

[oceankat103]

I'm only 14, but Barry Manilow is my favorite singer ever!!! I just recently discovered this movie. Soooooo excited when I found it! Thanks for uploading it!

[LauraLovesGir]

Lola is a stupid skank ,and I don't like her.

Treating the Manilow like that!

I really just want to give Barry a great big hug.

And did anyone else notice at the scene at around 31:00 with Manilow's big kiss

he just leaves his accordion?

Oh Barry aren't you so cool with your leather jacket at that scene?

P.S: I saw him in concert hope all you kittens reading this a jealous, he was amazing and sexy as ever.

[TheMightyJeffers]

@LauraLovesGir, jealousy is delivered on this end

[RachelLee113]

@LauraLovesGir This may be the best comment I've ever seen.

[done7ful]

THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!! I AM SO HAPPY I WAS ABLE TO FIND THIS.

I WATCHED THIS WHEN IT AIRED YEARS AGO. BARRY'S ACTING WAS NATURAL HE'S A WONDERFUL ACTOR. HOW CAN YOU NOT CRY AT THE END? (though anyone who's heard Copacabana knows it can't end well) Thanks for including the extra's BLESS YOU!

[perpetual61]

Yeah I'm twenty, and I wish I'd been born twenty years earlier, I'd totally have dated 1985 Barry. Simple, sweet eyes, cute smile. Agh. Im a creeper.
