On its release "Fame" resonated for me because I was 18, headed for NYC, and full of many of the same hopes and dreams as its characters had.

Fame makes up for a disjointed presentation with a lot of heart and a great soundtrack (for which it won two Academy Awards).
Fame helped to launch the 1980s on a tide of aspiration, creating a successful television series, kick-starting the leg-warmer industry and inspiring us all with the idea that with talent, a lot of hard work, plenty of suffering and luck, anybody might, one day, become a star.
On the DVD: Fame scores all over again on DVD with its widescreen format and a thumping soundtrack: the moment when the kids burst out onto the street and stop the traffic is a bit of 1980s cinema magic.

 Naked Fame Movie Review | Colton Ford | Blake Harper | Kyle Neven | Gay Movies | Bad Movies | Cinema de Merde
The movie begins with Colton Ford, whose real name is Glenn, saying that a corporate job “is not something I want to be doing for the rest of my life.” Now, let’s have a show of hands with everyone who WANTS to be in a corporate job.
The impression this movie leaves one with is not that its stars are narcissists or bimbos, but took the easy, glamorous job without realizing the repercussions it might have down the line.
As I said, I came into this movie expecting to laugh at Glenn, but ultimately came to be sympathetic with the difficulties he faces, and came to have more of an understanding of who he is, if I didn’t like him as a person as much as I liked Peter.

Frankly, there were three good songs in the movie and one that has a good dance scene to it but is not really worth listening to.
I have not seen the movie, so I can not say whether the movie's soundtrack is superior, though in all fairness, it probably is. The Broadway version was toned down; some of the racier issues such as sex and drugs are only hinted at.
FAME contained as much dialogue scenes as it did dance numbers, and a lot of the important story points aren't present on the CD (unlike Phantom of the Opera, where the story is related in song, for example).

 Movie Reviews
Last years movies ominated for best picture were among the least viewed of any titles in history, the highest earner being brokeback mountain at only 84 million while Crash earnt a measly 53 million, the lowest of any film to win best picture for around 20 yrs.
The highest earning movies of all time are apparently going to be shaken with the release of spiderman 3 coming out, an estimated billion dollars is expected which is expected to raise the franchise closer to that of the calibre Lord of the rings has created.
Anyway this is a very understated movie and I have to say one of my favourite dramatic pieces, I love the fact that the comedy always comes in at the right time without ruining the dramatic feel of the movie.

 Followup: "Fame" and "Fame L.A."
The school inspired the movie Fame which followed a group of students from entering the school through to graduation and all their heartaches along the way.
But a two hour movie is hardly time enough time to cover four years of school life for multiple students.
But music and coming of age is always popular and so in 1997 Fame was reborn as Fame L.A. The new show didn't have much connection to the original show aside from the title and the general premise.
