Cutting Edge

A must see. I bought it because I watch it a lot. Cute romantic movie about ice skating.

The Cutting Edge is an ABSOLULTE CLASSIC in every way..... the chemistry between D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly is FABULOUS and AUTHENTIC.... the story is beautifully told with great humor and compassion and just all the WONDERFUL EMOTIONS that make for a HAPPY LIFE - LOVE THIS MOVIE FOREVER :-)

I love this movie I laughed so hard

I have loved this movie since I first saw it in the theater multiple times as it was so damn good!I was thrilled beyond belief to read in Entertainment Weekly that a new Special Edition DVD was coming out today. I didn't know, and was also thrilled to see -- for those of you who (also) didn't know it already -- that the FULL SCORE was FINALLY released on the Deluxe Edition CD Soundtrack Release and I picked-up both today!As for this Gold Metal Edition -- and for all you similarly panicked collectors -- PLEASE DO NOT PANIC! Amazon made a MISTAKE in the listing, The Gold Metal Edition presents the film in its WIDESCREEN FORMAT and not the erroneously reported Full Screen Format.The DVD includes the original trailer, the trailer for the sequel, and a brief 10 minute retrospective featuring Moira and D.B. but (regrettably) does not include Roy or Terry. A more comprehensive Cast/Director featurette/commentary would have been good to have -- there's no commentary at all -- but I'm very grateful that we got a decent Special Edition as well as the Deluxe Release of the Soundtrack with the Full Score. Still, it's better that we got what we did 15 years late rather than never having gotten it at all!This movie holds up amazingly well because of the acting, music, and skating sequences and it's a fairly realistic portrayal of relational dynamics and the triumph of hope over despair, triumph over tragedy, and love over hate. Considering how bad Ice Castles sucked I never thought I could love a skating movie until I saw this one. Interestingly, Moira mentions that she gets moved at the same point I always do which is the big "Kate, I need you... I NEED YOU!" scene.As to the sequel, solid casting of Scott Thompson Baker and Stefanie Kramer as a 20 years later version of Kate & Doug bodes quite well for it since any sequel had the potential to be a complete and total disaster. Kramer and Baker are hardly an impossible-to-believe-it set of casting choices for an older Kate & Doug. However, one does have to wonder why they didn't/couldn't just bring back D.B. and Moira since it is the movie that basically made them! Interestingly, in the retrospective, D.B. looks EXACTLY the same and Moira looks like she's aged a bit.It's a fairly inexpensive purchase to get this new Gold Metal Edition and it's so worth it when you think of how much the film has meant to all of us and to a new generation.

Great movie. A must-see for everyone, young and old. Predictable ending but with perfect open ending for the future. It increases expectation from beginning to end, specially from the moment main characters met. Movie shows two parallel worlds, but with different characters, different psychology and worlds, totally different ways of seeing life. One character, a jockey player, (D.B. Sweeney as Doug Dorsey) not very devoted to reading, playing rough, not paying much attention to details, a macho man, but with a very strong character, the other (Moira Kelly as Kate Moseley) subtle, intelligent, a skate figure dancer, highly literate, well-read young girl, wealthy, who has always had everything in life except for someone who might contradict her and when Doug Dorsey just appeared in his life out of nowhere, with his strong character, feels like a challenge as Kate does not want to accept him for the simple fact that he is know nowhere and Doug challenges her as he realizes he is dealing with a very stubborn personality. Both characters start to feel or better say, see each other as someone they need to have close every day, not for the simple fact of practicing figure skating, but for the fact that they are both so opposed personalities, like the positive and the negative of a magnetic field that instead of repelling each other they just get closer and closer each time. Climax comes at the end. He breaks the ice by telling her that he just found out the he has fallen in love with her, she, who has been feeling the same for him, but being so proud-hearted, starts crying as she realizes her love is being requited.Skating and figure skating are very far from my field of knowledge, but of all the movies I've watched dealing with this beautiful, still difficult sport, this is the only one that has touched so close how hard is to become a figure skating, specially, pair figure skating. It takes a lot of talent, patience, practice, sacrifice, dedication, etc.

I loved this movie because of the acting. I saw it when it first came out! Had to watch it again! Perfect match and chemistry between the actors. DB Sweeny was perfect in it. I remember having such a crush on him after I saw this movie! Watch it cause it is really excellent especially if u like skating.

El producto lo recibí muy bien, me agrado mi compra

Très bon film pour ceux ou celles qui aiment le patinage artistique. Vous allez passé un bon moment de détente.

A clever script with a credible premise. Lively pacing and well drawn characters, portrayed by great actors who've been given intelligent dialogue and witty repartee. Thematic music, nice skating and most the usual Hollywood formulas, which all work well. It adds up to a very smart entertaining film that keeps you engaged long enough to see past the protagonists' flaws: I defy any viewer not to be rooting for our couple by half way. It is well done to take such deeply unsympathetic characters at first and build them into heroes with whom we can really identify.RECOMMENDED
