Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
That Oscar-winning title song buzzes in your ears long after the movie has stopped. The attraction here is youthful spirit and a pulsating score, because the weak story is merely a conduit for the song-and-dance numbers. The plot is every young woman's daydream come true. Jennifer Beals holds down a macho job as a welder by day, but performs erotic dance numbers in a club at night. It's not a strip club, so her morality remains intact. She dates her wealthy boss (Michael Nouri) and practices hard for the day she can audition for the upscale, local dance school, even though she has no formal training. It is malarkey, of course, unless you view this as total romantic fantasy. It works because you are carried along by the sheer force of the energetic, boisterous, MTV-style imagery by director Adrian Lyne. Beals is a plus as the stubborn, pouty, somewhat eccentric young woman made all the more interesting for her driving ambition. In the end, she is aided by her Prince Charming, who arrives bearing favors. Mind you, this is not the same as a rescue, as Beals is one rather tough damsel who does just fine on her own. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Rating:  - a very nice musical showing the power of a dream
I was too young when I watched the movie to understand how important can be to follow a dream, no matter how hard and tough can be. I resume the message of this movie on those words, perseverance, courage.
The soundtrack is one of the best in my opinion and the camera work is excelent, a must see movie.

Rating: - 80's HOME/BOOTLEGGED QUALITY COPYING:BLURRY/HISSING THRU MOVIE & VILE ETHNIC STEREOTYPING IS DESPICABLE/PROFANE/UPSETTING - UGLY
HORRIBLE ETHNIC STEREOTYPING IS DATED AND VERY DISTURBING. WITH TODAY'S STANDARDS, THE SOUND AND PICTURE QUALITY ARE, JUST, HORRIBLE. NOT RIGHT FOR TODAY - SEEMS LIKE A REAL LOSER WITH TODAY'S STANDARDS IN TECHNOLOGY AND DECENCY. DON'T BOTHER. WATCH FOOTLOOSE OR SAT NITE FEVER.
HAS A BOOTLEGGED 80'S HORRIBLE QUALITY AND HISSING THROUGHOUT.
Rating:  - What a feeling....not!
I tried numerous times to like this '80s classic but I can't. Flashdance has a weak plot, bad and I mean BAD acting from Jennifer Beals, the only thing that saves this train wreck is the dancing. I give two stars for the hot as fire dancing and the soundtrack, otherwise than that, Flashdance is just too flashy for me.
Rating: - Classic Movie. Still great after all these years!!!!
Yes, I am a child of the 80's, so I am partial to this movie along with many other 80's movies as well, but I will say that this movie is one of the most memorable movies of it's time, and has stood the test of time well.
It is still popular today with people of all ages.
Jennifer Beals was HOT! Every guy I knew dreamed of being with her, and she made her mark with this movie.
I totally recommend this movie to anyone, and it is truly one of the great movies.
