Not half-bad, this lightly engaging, potboiler romance concerns an ice skater (Lynn-Holly Johnson) who loses her vision in an accident but goes on to excel on the ice with the support of the guy (Robby Benson) who loves her. When she takes up with some rich schmuck, however, intertwining problems in her work and in love throw a shadow over everything. Nice performances, nice skating--the whole thing is a pleasant distraction. --Tom Keogh

Ice castles.......2007-05-12

If I could I will give this movie a 10 stars, this is a really good clasic that gives you the little buble in your heart, is my favorite movie ever so I do recommend to wacht this...

woth seeing again.......2007-04-02

Nicely reproducted copy of the film. I wanted it basically for the music, but enjoyed seeing the film again, too. (And it is certainly suited for a "G" rating - which seems to be somewhat rare these days!)

sappy but fun.......2007-02-18

A movie not very true to the real world of figure skating. ... but many a teenage girl will love it.
Starring lynn Holly Johnson and Bobby Benson ( the voice of Beast n the Disney movie Beauty and the Beast.) Story of a young girl with dreams of going to the Olympics only to have a terrible accident and going blind... but this she over comes with the love and help of her boyfriend and ends up triumphing through it all.

it is not perfect, but an okay movie. If you are looking for reality this is not it

Ice Castles.......2007-02-17

I will always remember the first time I saw this movie, in the 1970's! My friend and I cried so much we had to go and get tissues out of the "Ladies" to mop up all the tears. Now it is 2007 and I wanted so much to see this movie again to see if my interpretation of it had changed now that I am nearly 50 and I have gone through so many of life's experiences...this movie stands up now just as strong and just as beautiful as it did 30 years ago!!! That "don't give up" moral is still just as true today, and somehow even MORE true today than it was when I was so much younger. I am so proud of Bobby Benson for his remarkable career since Ice Castles and wish to congratulate him. I will always love this movie and cherish the music and the love displayed by the characters. Even more grateful am I that, now that I could not buy the movie anywhere in Australia, I have been able to cry my heart out again thanks to Amazon.com

Lovely story!.......2007-01-04

Certainly a triumph for Robby Benson and Lynn Holly Johnson! I didn't even know if this film had survived all the films being rescued from destruction by Hollywood these days in an attempt to restore so many great films.

There are times the tears start to drop from my eyes when watching this film. When you are my age having seen all the tradgedies I've seen in my life, you tend to really appreciae the young and their battles: Something you don't really see in others when you are young yourself, until you are at least half a century old.

I especially love the scene when Robby (Nick) appears and helps "Lexie", played by Lynn Holly Johnson, face her handicap; after her accident where the two come together like only two soulmates could; as one reaches out to strengthen the other. Its beautifully played by both actors. Both kids, I should say young adults, are pretty much hitting full adult "babehood" with the public in this movie and the chemistry of both the actors and story make for a great addition to my library.

I've also been a long time fan of Colleen Dewhurst who does an impecable job in this film as the coach. Colleen always carried a charisma in her face that could draw you into her just by looking at her. Another actor who has this ability is Seth Green when I've seen his performances. It's a gift when a person can do that on screen and it works for me!

The DVD case was in excellent condition and delivery was as promised. DVD quality was fine. No complaints.
