| Electric Dreams (1984) (VHS) English | 
| This is an excellent, light romantic comedy and Virginia Madsen's second movie (the first being "Class" in 1983). It is loosely based on an idea (unacknowledged in the credits) first developed by Kurt Vonnegut in a short story called "EPICAC."
The story concerns an introverted young architect named Miles, who accidentally imbues his PC with artificial intelligence by downloading an enormous amount of data into it and subsequently spilling champaigne on the motherboard (okay, stop groaning, it's a comic fantasy). Miles is on his way to befriending his serendipitously made acquaintance when he meets his pretty neighbor Madeline (Madsen), the cellist, who lives upstairs.
Unfortunately for Miles, while he is working up the courage to pursue Madeline, Edgar, the computer, has heard her playing music and has also become smitten with her, and the sparks begin to fly in an all's-fair-in-love-and-war, every man/machine for himself/itself classic romatic triangle with a twist.
This is a very funny movie which taps tentatively into the larger question of what makes us human. It's one of those overlooked classics of light entertainment. Bob Lallier

Ripper's note: This is a DVD-Rip, but the DVD it was ripped from was encoded from a VHS source. Quality is reasonably good though considering, obviously not DVD quality, but it's the best you'll get untill a proper DVD is released of this long sought after movie!
