Lenny Von Dohlen

RThe closest thing I can come up with is a movie from the 1980s called "Electric Dreams." Tom Hanks was not in the film; it starred Lenny von Dohlen (Miles) and Virginia Madsen (Madeline). In the movie, Miles buys a powerful top-of-the-line computer that ultimately attains self-consciousness (it starts calling itself "Edgar") - and then falls in love with the girl that Miles is dating. Edgar becomes jealous of Miles, leading to conflict between them as the computer attempts to woo Madeline (a musician) with music of its own.It's a stretch, but it's the best I can come up with. Good luck.

RHow to Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days (1983)--------------------------------------------------------------------Cast: Wallace Shawn ... Professor Silverfish Ilan Mitchell-Smith ... Milo Crimpley Hermione Gingold ... Miss Sandwich Sarah Boyd ... Jenny Hillard Kate McGregor-Stewart ... Mrs. Crimpley Lenny von Dohlen ... Erik Crimpley PBS's "Wonderworks" series must've been an "After School Special" for younger kids. "How to Be a Perfect Person in Just Three Days" deals with the issue of self-esteem. Another one, "Necessary Parties" (featuring a very young Mark-Paul Gosselar) addressed kid's and the issue of divorce, for example. They were nice little productions reminiscent of those Saturday afternoon short-movies that Nickelodean used to produce in Canada (what the heck happened to those?!).This is a movie based on the novel, "How to Be a Perfect in Just Three Days." A very young Ilan-Mitchell Smith ("Weird Science", "The Chocolate War") stars as accident prone Milo Crimpley, something that seems to have gotten worse over time. Milo is made to be like that Beverly Cleary chariacature of imperfection, one that is comical, though a little exaggerated. Milo, however, finds an opportunity to get rid of embarrassing accident-prone nature when he stumbles across an advertisement from Professor Silverfish (the hilarious Wallace Shawn), who has a sort of seminar on "How to Be a Perfect in Just Three Days." So, Milo signs up.Basically, it is just a test in self-esteem, though Milo expects to be an absolutely perfect kid. Silverfish's little three day assignments are meant to make Milo a bolder person, one with will power, and one who is willing to accept challenges when he doubts his abilities most. In actuality, the assignments are just intended to get Milo to accept himself. Because, as Silverfish says: "Why would anyone want to be perfect, anyway? You can't do anything wrong. So, then you don't do anything." It isn't a horribly corny movie, and it is a rather funny one for younger kids who might be able to appreciate it, despite the dated appearance.

RElectric Dreams (1984) .Starring Virginia Madsen and Lenny von Dohlen .A really cute movie, about a triangle involving a computer, a man, and a girl who plays the cello. The plot summary from IMDB is copied below..The thing I found the most fun and fascinating about the movie is the "musical dialog" between the computer and the girl. She is practicing one day and out of the blue the computer begins to communicate with her through the piece she is practicing. The computer progresses until they begin playing a duet as a musical dialog. She plays a few chords and the computer answers back with a few chords. Of course she doesn't know the other cellist is a computer. Finally they end up playing together. It was like a man making overtures to a girl for sex. They commutate back and forth getting closer together until the act done together. Really cute!.Plot summary copied from Internet Movie Data Base."This upbeat love story features an architect named Miles who decides to modernize his life by buying a computer.

Ri loved that movie !! and the main characters name was 'miles harding' and the guy who played him was lenny von dohlen , it came out in 1984 it would be kind of neat to see a remake of it .. cause it was such a great movie and the music in it was just So cool !!

RElectric Dreams (1984). Starring Bud Cort as Edgar, Lenny von Dohlen as Miles, and Virginia Madsen as Madeline.

RLove Kills (1991 TV movie)starring Lenny von Dohlen (of "Electric Dreams"), Virginia Madsen (also of "Electric Dreams"!), Jim Metzler. Erich AndersonIMDb review:Rebecca Bishop, a wealthy married woman with absent husband Drew, hooks up with a guy she meets at her photography studio. Shortly after some hot making out right on Rebecca's husband's desk at her home, this guy informs her he has a different name than she thought. He is Jonathan Brinkman, and her husband has hired him to kill her. ... Not long after this, she doesn't know for sure who IS trying to kill her or if anyone is -- and neither do we. Then, there's another man after her, whose name I don't think we ever learn. Brinkman turns up from time to time, as does Rebecca's husband, who, of course, is telling Rebecca a totally different story. Then, we have Rebecca's old college chum, Brooks, who could be a friend or an enemy.EDIT: Wow! NYCLady knows this film, too! I haven't seen it for many years, but I've always remembered it because Lenny and Virginia were paired up again after the sweet and wonderful "Electric Dreams". He IS very striking looking, and I never understood why he didn't get more roles, as he handled comedy and drama quite well.

Here's my favorite moment, courtesy of YouTube: Edgar and Madeline's duet!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrzn1s4rBYs&feature=relatedARRGH! My connection went weird! I knew at a glance what your movie is because I've watched it so many times! Back in the Eighties, when it was in heavy rotation on HBO, I watched it nearly every time it was on and videotaped it. Now, I need it to be aired again because my tape certainly is showing signs of wear. Perhaps it's rerunning the duel so often! Besides, all three leads are on my favorite actors/actresses list. I've always wanted the soundtrack to this film, which definitely has a cult following.
