I don't know how I missed this gem when I watched the movie Shall We Dance but I'm so glad I downloaded it. It's soul stirring and hauntingly beautiful.

OK - I have to admit... I haven't watched the whole movie yet..... BUT I love the dance and rhythm scenes!  BY incorporating this "bonus" to the movie - it got even an old tap dancer like me interested in Zatoichi.  Most of the other reviews found the dance scenes (especially the final one "The Festival" - out of place) I - on the other hand - as well as all my dancer's at my dance studio found it exciting and innovative!  We are even trying to use parts of it this year in our recital!  So - if you don't normally watch this type of movie - this is worth checking out!  It's interesting with the subtitles... and the dance and/or rhythm scenes are wonderful!  The other parts of the movie that I've watched are fun to see because they seem so genuinely "old time" traditional Japaneese...  The clothing, the villages, the people and their obvious place in society...  The soundtrack is also GREAT music!  I suppose I need to sit down and watch it all!

Wish I had seen the movie sooner, as it was incredible, with the soundtrack guiding the movie through, unlike most movies where songs are just part of the movie, to have a soundtrack released. It was amazing, how the songs moved my body, like Jai Ho had almost every limb of my body dancing to it! Slumdog Millionaire was most deserved of the Oscar, for the soundtrack and song, as well as Best Picture and all the other awards. With Best Regards, Thomas Kelley

I was skeptical getting this dvd because of the 40 minutes of clips.  Glad that I made the purchase.  The clip You Can't Curry Love had me near tears several times, so well done in capturing east and west coming together.  One fellow is of Indian descent but born in Australia.  He learns of his roots from the front desk clerk of his motel in India.  Together they create a beautiful bond of love.

The second clip Performance Anxiety had me laughing.  Seldom does a movie get me there, however the true yet comical effort of two straight men practicing for a gay sex scene was priceless.

Both clips, the dvd, was a great add to my collection.

Possibly the most moving film I've seen. I'm grateful that I stumbled upon it.

As a Christian who is extremely careful and choosy in what I watch, I highly recommend the movie, C Me Dance.

This powerful, tear-jerking movie was creatively written and has an engaging storyline that captured both my heart and my attention.

I very much appreciated how C Me Dance depicted real life (in the real world - with its real problems), with what I believe to be a spiritually balanced and Biblically accurate depiction.

This movie, although encouraging with its strong Christian theme, does not deny the reality that we live in a difficult world with dark, spiritual forces, whose purpose is to scare us into passivity. However, by the end of the movie, I was greatly encouraged and inspired to fight fear and passivity.

I must admit that, because it contains scenes that may be frightening, I was extremely afraid it would feed my, already present, fear. I was quite surprised, however, when I realized that C Me Dance was the tool that God desired to use to help me to face my fear and receive the much needed freedom from that specific fear!

I also was very touched by C Me Dance's powerful and dramatic scenes of transformation. Some scenes tugged at my heart, while others drew me closer to God as I watched the characters have a change of heart.

Of course, not all the scenes are intense. As someone who loves the beautiful art of dance, I also enjoyed the dancing scenes, and appreciated the talent flowing through the dancers. In addition, there are some other scenes that are just plain enjoyable to watch.

C Me Dance is a light that shines in the darkness. It touched my heart, and it left me emotionally and spiritually ready to receive God's touch for me personally...which I think is a great quality in a movie!

WOW, what a movie this was. It looks really good now on Blu-ray and the music is really good for it, too. Made in the early 1980s it focuses on a female dancer named Alex who dreams of becoming a real dancer much like her Grandmother. She is working as a welder and as a dancer at a local club. Through the course of the movie, she begins an affair with her boss, which is not a good idea by the way. He eventually helps her realize her dream of being in a real dance Academy and to get out of the bar dance scene in which she earns part of her living. She achieves this through hard work and determination. The dance scenes are great, although quite a few of them are not actually Jennifer Beals, but body doubles. Still back then, to watch this and think that a woman doing welding work for part of her living and making it into a Dance Academy is pretty darn good. She definitely had the will and motivation to do it and it was a positive thing to see and view. I loved the movie and it brings back a bit of nostalgia for me as I was a junior in high school then. Jennifer Beals, thanks for an inspiring movie.

This movie was absolutely amazing. Not only was the dancing perfect and extremely energetic, but the acting was superb. Although there were some scenes in which parts of the dialogue sounded corny and immature. I thought that the performance of Amanda Schull as the lead part of Jodie Sawyer was amazing. Her acting was very believable and her dancing was amazing and on point in the different dance numbers especially in the final dance scene in the movie when she just blows everyone out of the water when she dances to the song Canned Heat by Jamiroquai. Ethan Stiefel was amazing as the talented but also selfish dancer Cooper Nielsen, I never even knew who Ethan Stiefel was until I saw this movie, his dancing in it proves to be nothing but spectacular and all of his moves are very much on point. Sasha Radetsky as the sweet and talented dancer Charlie was so endearing in this movie and his dancing and acting in the movie were more than perfect. Peter Gallagher fit the part perfectly as Jonathan who runs the American Ballet Company, his character is both egotistical and harsh and Peter does it so well. The music featured in this movie was a great mix of hip hop, r&b,rock and even some latino. This movie is definitely one in which all teenagers can relate to. It shows all the pain, tears and hardships that these men and women have to go through and how they break through them and make their dreams of dancing professionally come true. This movie is truly inspiring and is one of the best dance movies I have seen in a long time. For anyone who is a dance or theatre major I highly recommend that you see this movie.

I was channel flicking when I stumbled upon this movie. I figured, hey, nothing better is on.. so I'll give it a shot. I was quickly drawn into this movie, unable to stop watching. The acting is great, the plot is adorable, and it really gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling in the end. The story line is very unpredictable and the performances are awesome. I highly recommend this as a date movie, or even if you're just home alone enjoying your own company. I really didn't expect to like this movie as much as I did, but I'm glad I watched it. It's definitely one of my new favorites!

Im so glad I got this movie. Ive rented this movie online but could only get it in English and seeing it in Japanese made such a difference.

Altho the story line takes us to the romantic village in Greece, my main reason for getting this disc is the marvelous eery music toward the end of the movie.

Very interesting and moving dance.

Brought this CD after watching the Jane Eyre 1996 movie Starring William Hurt. The music in the movie is lovely as is the movie and it draws you in as you watch the story of Jane Eyre.
I enjoyed the score so much when watching the movie that I had to buy the soundtrack. I think this CD will only be enjoyed by the people who have seen the movie and loved the 1996 version.

I'm 18 and I loved this movie! While watching I really enjoyed the songs as well, and seeing as the soundtrack wasn't available on iTunes, I purchased this physical CD. It was definitely worth the couple extra dollars! I love all these songs, they are upbeat and sweet, and make you smile. They all remind me of the scene they were played in as well. I would definitely recommend!
