The Home Video Release Purple Rain Deserves

Purple Rain finally sees a 1080p widescreen release. The transfer looks like it's playing directly off of film. The sound is wonderful. It's finally widescreen, after a confusing full-screen DVD release.
Some scenes backstage appear to have been poorly lit. There's the bulk of the complaint section.
The Blu-ray was packaged in a purple case. There are eight music videos and a wealth of special features. The disc was being sold for $9.99 at the time of purchase, which is an absolute bargain.
This is everything the DVD release could have been, plus so much more. It's well worth it. Absolutely recommended.

If you loved this guys music you will love this movie. Seen it countless times, I love it. Not everyone Knew that Prince was epileptic, I assume that's where he got the name for this movie "Purple" Rain because Purple is the official color of the Epilepsy Foundation (I should know, because I myself is Epileptic)
He's Gone but never forgotten Rest In Peace Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson (1958-2016).

Prince's 1st and Best Movie

Prince debuts in Purple Rain a movie I saw when I was 11 years old. The music, lyrics, live performances & use of editing was great. The Movie features 3 of his greatest hits..Purple Rain, When Doves Cry, and 1999. Prince as well as Vanity both passed away last year in 2016 at the age of 57. A terrible waste of such tremendous talent and musicians. This version of the movie was remastered and packaged in a purple case. My girlfriend loves Prince so I got her this one for Christmas last year. A musical classic, R.I.P. Prince...

If you grew up in the early 80s, or you're a Prince fan from way back in the day, you've probably seen Purple Rain and already have an opinion of it one way or another. For those who were either too young or too old to catch Prince's sweaty zeitgeist, the film is a pretty good indication of what was happening pop culture-wise during the Reagan years. With a decent, but never stunning AV lineup and a bounty of extra features, I'd say Purple Rain is a must-own for Prince fans, but a solid rental for everyone else.

It’s Prince...what more can I say! I was in high school when this came out and it changed how I listened to music. Not the best movie and the acting at times is painful to watch but after all it’s the music that makes this movie iconic! Turn the volume up and prepare to be entertained as you’ll find yourself snapping your fingers and singing along to the soundtrack. This movie will make Prince fans out of anyone. A great flashback movie!

I wasnt a fan of Prince till i saw this movie. I always liked his music but watching this film made me realize how much of an artist he really was. Great soundtrack, great picture quality. Dont buy it thinking that this is an oscar winner of a movie. This is just a simple gem, a simple story told with great music. Shame he is gone.

I had not seen this movie in a least 10 years and now watching this movie with Prince dead was a whole different perspective. I still knew every word but I paid attention to new details and just savored every song, every scene. This is not for kids, even though I saw this for the first time when I was 7. The soundtrack is phenomenal. The plot is pretty solid but like I said I was watching this the day Prince died and I was not watching it to critique the plot but to comfort my soul on the loss of an icon. I forgot how awesome it was to watch bands dance as they played their real instruments. Brilliant as always.

Love this movie, and am happy to have this part of my Prince music archive and movie collection. It's a mid 80's classic! And we must not forget the soundtrack music album as it is ranked among the best albums in music history, and is widely known as Prince's magnum opus. Undoubtedly, this film is a must have for all Prince fans. Get your copy of this movie classic right now, and make it part of your home movie library!

Neat Blu-Ray, quality was pretty good considering the age of the film. Interesting information on the special features that explain the film. What a performer Prince was - larger then life for sure. I enjoyed watching this again as it has bee 30 years or so since I saw it. The music still holds up and is timeless really.
