Electric Dreams - The Duel

[Laceykat66]

It is AMAZING what DOS 2.8 could do. I'll bet this was a 4 MgHz CPU and everything. 16 kb of RAM and a CGI screen.

Wow, if we only had computers like that today.

Where did we go wrong?

[Laceykat66]

Why is this film NOT out on DVD??????

[jd18100]

@Laceykat66 It is :)

[kittyresende]

Esse filme marcou tanto minha vida! E foi por causa dessa cena que estudei música. Simplesmente lindo!

[stegatops1]

The best scene of the eighties! Not just a musical duel.....a clash of modern and traditional values.

[MrWillette57]

I remember looking at this i long time aog, i like this movie very much.

Hey Everybody... Do You Remember The 80's!!!

[mangafront]

[SK4869]

Can not Believe has Only Had 32,520 Views When Really it Should Be

1 Million Views it is That Special :D

[AllStevePwrfl]

I miss the 80s when computers could do anything from making human women to gaining self awareness. When in reality if you could get them to do a simple math problem you felt like freaking genius

[centurymasters]

purchased this soundtrack back in 1984 ON CASSETTE...haha...upgraded to CD later, but totally love the entire soundtrack and movie...its timeless!

[getsbent]

TOgether FOever IN ELECtric dreams >> THIs is for my princess out there somewhere!! THE movies dont even come close today TO THIS MAsTER PIECE !

[Schlehenkaiserin75]

The best movie ever. Ich love it!!!!

[robr2002]

I loved this movie! One correction, Minuet in G is often incorrectly attributed to J.S. Bach because it appears in the Ana Magdalena notebook, but since the 1970s scholars have attributed it to Christian Petzold. Look him up on Wikipedia.

[nklim84]

I watch this movie when I was very young and still love it today because it's a beautiful romantic movie paired with how computer technology affect us at that time, a showcase of love and electric dreams !

[apatia29]

I want to see this movie!! XD

[flossjw1]

I've always liked this scene,the way she was into it, (thinking it was the guy) & the way they harmonized was really romantic,lol.

[nando19751]

damb look at that old piece of shiite fossil.  "apple, wang,"pear."

[Miracle490d]

Thanks for this. This is my favorite classical piece. I had no idea what it was called or that Bach did it. But I wish Edgar would do all the classical pieces. If all classical had techno and a beat I'd definitely listen to it a lot more than almost never. I don't even like instrumentals longer than solos between words. But I've sought this.

[mysterious1961]

this part always makes me cry! TY for posting this!!

[MasterSly6697]

Eine kleine Perle aus der Zeit, als Tennissocken noch total in waren, Röhrenjeans hipp rüber kamen und der Commodore 64 der beliebteste Brotkasten war, den jeder haben wollte.

Ja, auch Computer haben Gefühle, und wenn die in ein Lied gepackt werden, kommt sowas Wunderschönes wie dieser Titel heraus. Wer diesen Film nicht kennt, hat wirklich was verpasst. :-)

[05maitai]

[videocanaglia]

I absolutely love this movie and this scene thank you brings me back to my childhood the 80s Rocked!

[mapwall]

Beautiful scene, thanks for posting. I hope they put this movie on DVD one day soon.

[mysterious1961]

@mapwall they finally did, and it's awesome! :-)

[Mumdidar]

Yes. . . . I think Mr. Bach would have approved :)

[wonderberrycindie]

still gives me chills!!! i loved this scene. i loved this movie!

"but i can't, moles keeps me locked up!"

[chibisqueak]

for some reason this reminds me of some of owl citys songs

[annalee12345]

Everything about the 80s is so creative - you don't get that nowadays - music, movies... I wonder why.

[starblue1986]

@MrDRUID27 This piece was taken from the,

Minuet in G Major" by Johan Sebastian Bach in 3/4 time. It was later adapted by 1960s song writers Sandy Linzer and Danny Randall for the Song,"Lovers Concerto" for The Toys the 1960s girl group which became a # 2 hit on the Billboard Charts in 1965! This song was in4/4 time, instead of 3/4 time by J.S. Bach!

I love the rare version by The Fleetwoods of the song Lovers' Concerto because they use a harpsichord which blends with their great vocals!

[G0DofHavoc]

this is damn great!!!!!

[mantha87]

this scene reminds me of when my dad use to watch this movie and her would replay it all the time. We could never find the soundtrack since it was made in England... but a week after he died we found the only copy in the record store it was ordered by mistake. it was fitting actually, this also is what got me playing cello. this coming tuesday i'm getting a tattoo of the first 4 measures of this song.

[G0DofHavoc]

cool!!

[aand031]

[ConstantinosSPQR]

one of the best movies I ahave ever seen. tender and Romantic.

[PeterPiper1505]

I absoutely loved everything about this film, i still do. I was an original computer geek back in the 80's, still am and Virginia Madsen is still GORGEOUS!

Wonderful piece of music, wonderful arrangement, it's fantastic to see it again. Thanks Jaysbar, you've made my night!

:-D :-D :-D :-D

[sunnymaja]

@PeterPiper1505 your comment is timeless - still trueeeeee :)

[poolorapond]

Giorgio Moroder also incorporated portions of Pachelbel's Canon in D Major into this impressive arrangement. It first comes in at about 2:58 in this video.

[andyos74]

einfach nur geil

[me1235444]

This person ran the clip to the end everybody else cuts it at the musical end. This was the right way to cut it..

[leo22keto]

I think this is the best part of the film

[pereirafer]

Great!!! I was looking for this song and video for years!!! Thank you!

[wyoonthefirst]

Thanks for having such a nice clip up here. I need to find this on DVD.
