When the film was released in 1983, “Flashdance” was pretty much panned by most critics. But as we’ve seen time after time, critics aren’t the ones buying tickets, and the musical drama would go on to become a massive hit at the box office, finishing the year as the #3 highest-grossing film in the US and earning more than $200 million worldwide. Now, more than 35 years later, the film is getting a brand-new 4K remaster, which will introduce “Flashdance” to a whole new generation.
In honor of “Flashdance” being released on 4K UHD, we’re happy to offer our readers a chance to win their very own copy of the newly-remastered film. Directed by Adrian Lyne (“Fatal Attraction”) and produced by the duo of Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer (their very first collaboration, leading to films such as “Top Gun” and “Days of Thunder”), “Flashdance” is one of the classic ‘80s films that features an incredible lead performance from Jennifer Beals and a soundtrack that is often regarded as one of the best of that decade. (The film would win an Oscar for Best Original Song.)
