Can you rate a film 'no stars'?

Serious? I was going to help you with a list of ALL TIME WORST MOVIE OF THE MILLENIUM but since your mind is made up, let's forget that. Anyway Electric Dreams is one of those movies made more as a feature length music video than your average "chick flick". It's a silly string of bubbly pop music videos. And since you hate it that much, it also probably means that the '80s mean nothing to you, which could mean: a. you slept through that decade, b. times were real bad for you (e.g. got majorly dumped by a cute boy)... Or it could mean you weren't even born, which means you haven't seen enough movies to know what to hate.

That said, us old foggies who loved Giorgio Moroder don't find it hard to like this film.

I was generous in giving it one star. Is it possible to go lower?

Is it possible you could get yourself a life? ;-D

I loved this movie when I watched it. I think I was about 15 when it came out. I think it is one of these movies that you have to see in the eighties, when it came out, to appreciate it.

Come on! There are thousands worst movies!
Don't you get emotional whn the computer learns to love and writes thats song about allways being together in electric dreams? I do. I get to tears.

I finally saw this for the first time on YouTube; I definitely remember seeing it advertised in movie listings throughout the summer of 1984. Using the excuse that one had to see this in that time to like it might be a cop-out. I've seen just about everything from the time, from the legendary and overexploited like John Hughes' stuff to the obscure like "Modern Girls" or "The New Kids", and there are good movies, decent movies, watchable movies, but "Electric Dreams" has a good idea with some annoying aspects. I wouldn't call it the worst. I never call a movie "dated" and can watch from the perspective of a time period but what ruins this is the lead character's goofiness and whining. Since this isn't a time when the computer was a part of his life like it would be now and is just an unnecessary purchase he makes for no real reason, he could have solved his problem by just unplugging and getting rid of it. I never understood why he felt the need to hide it. The computer character is like a newer Hal mixed with the WOPR's Joshua which we saw in "WarGames" the year before; the kind of character that would also be seen somewhat in "SpaceCamp" with the robot. I do miss the mystery of computers from the time when they could be plot devices without the audience knowing what they could or could not do.

It may be the worst movie you've ever seen.., but it isn't THE worst movie ever! For me, SPICE WORLD still holds that place!

"What time is Recess?"

Your question "is it possible to go lower" begs a non-PG rated answer...

This film serves like a time capsule of the '80s for us movie-computer geeks who also happen to know a bit about music.

If nothing, the film is worth watching, or listening, for Giorgio Moroder's music.
