I had it on DVD. Decided to upgrade to Blu-ray. Great movie

American Gigolo is surely one of the most underrated movies of all times. It's a very good movie, in my opinion second best of Paul Schrader's films, right after "Mishima - Life in four chapters", and I never understood why it got all the bad reviews. First of all it's one of the most stylish films I've ever seen, with fascinating scenes from start to finish, vibrant colors and beautiful sets and exterior shots. Paul Schrader, apart from being a great scriptwriter is also the master of photography, maybe the best in modern Hollywood. American Gigolo is a phenomenal character study too, struggle of a lonely man against the society he doesn't belong to, and in which he was artificially implanted by becoming something he's not. Michelle (Lauren Hutton) succeeds in bringing out the true Julian Kay, and their relationship on screen is very close and direct, although it maybe doesn't seem so, probably because both of the actors appear cold and distant, but that's just the result of the world they're living in. Both their lives are fake, and the only time they are real is with one another. The love scene between Julian and Michelle is one of the best in history of the cinema, it tells so much without showing much. Paul Schrader is one of my favorite directors, but that's only a small fraction of why I'm giving this movie

There are 3 Richard Gere movies that I remember watching growing up....BREATHLESS, AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN and AMERICAN GIGOLO!! AG was out of stock last time... but when I saw it was back.. I had to get it!! Great movie. Picture is great. A must have for Richard Gere fans!!

STILL HOLDS UP. HAD TO HAVE IT ON BLU RAY. LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK. VERY CONTERVERSIAL AT THE TIME BECAUSE OF THE FULL FRONTAL MALE NUDITY. REALLY MADE RICHARD GERE A BIG STAR.

This movie is so incredible, Richard Gere was born to play this part! He is so irresistible here, plus throw in a murder mystery and you've got a really interesting film. It's a very "80s" film too, that's one of the coolest things about it.

Character driven film. Subtle camera shots and movement add to the overall development of the lead character. This is a great film. Check out The Walker as well.

Glad to be able added this to my Blu-ray collection.

One of the first Richard Gere movies.. interesting to watch

this movie is awesome seen it many years ago and it's great especially in Blu-ray

A solid older movie that I found for a great price over the Holidays.

His breakthrough performance from 1980. Blu-ray transfer looks nice too.

Richard Gere was born to play this part. Great movie.

Hadn't seen this young Richard Gere movie in awhile

It's okay, slightly boring and the run time drags on
