I remember watching this movie back in 80s, growing up in Guyana, and it is what drove me to work with computers. My "intense infatuation" with Virginia Madsen, however, had started with the movie Fire With Fire ... that infatuation has never diminished.
Thanks very much scottster727. I had cried to heard this songs...what a wonderful time for 80's generation & I remembered how i was always dancing for hours and hours in the parent's hall. God bless you
I was graduating high school in 87. At the time, this was an awesome film. Looking back, that hasn't changed one bit. In fact, it gave me my unhealthy fixation on Virginia Madsen (How could it NOT???) that lasts to this day. Can't believe it took until 'Sideways' for her to get an Oscar. I wept that day... (Well, not really, but close..) Thanks for posting! I need to see this movie again!
Thanks for posting this.Electric Dreams is one of my favorite flicks and the soundtrack is great!if any one out there knows how to get a copy of the movie on dvd please let me know!
This is a great movie, one of my favs. Because it was produced by Richard Branson and Virgin Records (trying to branch out to movies at the time), it's not available on DVD. I keep looking, but the only ones out are cheap VHS transfers. I still have my VHS copy I taped from HBO circa 1990!
This has to be one of my favourite 80s songs even though I wasn't even born then. Electric Dreams isn't the only film Jeff Lynne provided songs for. He did 'With A Little Help From My Friends/Nowhere Man' for All This And World War II and he did 'Wild Times' for 'Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves'
Damn, I miss the 80s soooooooo bad! BEST time to be alive!!

It's weird though how the song starts with the "JewJewJewJew" sample.

This tune sure goes nice back to back with ELO's SECRET MESSAGES. Yes I know Jeff Lynne did them both.

Yeah, I know the feeling (Middle School, here). When it comes to Virginia Madsen, is there really a such thing as unhealthy fixation??
kyfuneraldirector 3 years ago
No, I guess not. She will forever be as she was here in this film; smart, HOT, and talented. Perfect!
