Electric Dreams (1984)

On advice from a friend, architect Lenny Von Dohlen buys a top of the line computer to get more organized. A mishap when he was trying to download an entire database from work causes the computer to become sentient and Lenny finds himself fighting with the computer for the affections of Virginia Madsen, the attractive musician who lives upstairs. There’s a quirky 1980s vibe to the film with a fun soundtrack, great visuals, montages, and a unique perspective on the forthcoming cyber age. Von Dohlen is excellent in the lead role showing off equal levels of intelligence and bewilderment at varying times.
