You're kidding, right? So many movies are either out of print or need a release and they have to give this crap special treatment?

Posted: 11/8/13 at 8:21pmThe only good thing about it is that it preserves on film the inside of the Mark Hellinger theater. But some of the camera angles in this movie are absolutely hideous. Angles that even a first year film student wouldn't use.

Even the spoof is better than the movie.

Posted: 11/8/13 at 8:43pmNo Hello Twelve, tango or anything. Instead they had that disco classic (who cares that disco was dead and I doubt even the gayest of clubs ever played it) Surprise Surprise! Apologies for the quality (though it deserves it.) I've actually heard of regional/community productions incorporating the song (...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMQtunxvw0I

They shouldn't put this movie out in Blu-Ray.
They should put this out on Betamax and let it stay there.

Posted: 11/8/13 at 11:23pmWhen the film first came out I remember leaving when the character of Mike starting swinging on a rope. Horrific.
#12A Chorus Line Movie on Blu Ray
Posted: 11/9/13 at 1:13amThis was better, than what was onstage at the time in the original run, when i saw the broadway cast in 88 not one of them wanted to be there. It was a bland, awful, long night of theatre. At least the movie was watchable.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Posted: 11/9/13 at 2:36amNo "And", "Sing", "Montage", "Music & The Mirror" turned into "Let Me Dance For You". "What I Did For Love" turned into a solo. No thanks. This movie, outside of the opening, was a trainwreck.

Horrible, horrible film.
I'm glad to see they used an image from Cabaret on the cover. It makes as much artistic sense as the choices made for the rest of the movie.
And the only terrifying conclusion I can come to as to why this film is coming out on Blu-ray is that it's actually selling fairly well on DVD.
I have to ask myself who is buying this movie on DVD? The same people who buy all four Children of the Corn movies? The same people who think the film version of Annie is a masterpiece?
The same people who can't tell the difference between Children of the Corn 3 and Annie?
Why god, why?

Ok, I have them all.

Posted: 11/9/13 at 10:42amI actually got this movie at a yard sale a few years ago. I was curious, that was all. Let's just say that I no longer have it because I tried giving it away or put it in another yard sale.

Sorry to be that guy but I just loved Audrey Landers rendition of Dance 10; Looks Three. It's my favorite.

Posted: 11/9/13 at 11:10amI also loved Vicki Frederick as Sheila. I can only imagine how she would have been if working under a director who understood the material.

I met Audrey Landers a couple of weeks ago and just gushed over her in this movie. I was like a 5 year meeting Santa Claus.
And I DON'T hate to be "that guy" but I like this movie very much. Is it even comparable to the stage version? HELL NO. But I was 7 years old when it came out in 1985 and saw it with my Dad (who I believe detested it for every reason mentioned every time this topic is brought up). But i was 7 and had nothing to compare it to. We had the cast recording so I eventually knew that songs were cut, but that was true for most movie musicals. It wasn't until years later that I actually got a chance to see it it done live on stage and truly know the difference.
But I love the movie and I'll definitely buy it on blu. And I won't be ashamed to do it, either.

So you guys basically like this movie the same way I like the "Lost Horizon" musical. I saw that one first (three times) when I was nine.
... and which I own on Blu-ray, of course!

You just earned major "cool points" with me Jordan for liking not only the film but for having met Miss Landers in person. I would have gushed as well. She was perfection as "Val" and there were a couple of other standouts in the cast: Vicki Frederick, most definitely as well as Gregg Burge, Yamil Borges, Terrence Mann and Justin Ross.
Is it a perfect movie, not by a long shot. But it's definitely my guilty pleasure...not ashamed to admit that I will be purchasing it on blu.
Yes bestie, it is my "Lost Horizon".
