CLASSIC CHICK FLICK FROM THE 1970's ICE CASTLES


To be honest I saw "Ice Castles" upon it initial release in 1979. I was a sucker for a movie where a woman rises again after a huge fall. Think "Other Side of the Mountain", "Norma Rae", & "The Turning Point". Those were the type of movies that came out in the 1970's.



Now all of those movies mentioned above are still well regarded. There is another movie that (yes is cheesy) seems never to get mentioned and that is "Ice Castles".



Now the movie is about a young up in coming Ice Skater who gets hurt in an accident and goes blind. Robby Benson co-stars as the girl's on again off again boyfriend. Now one thing you may know about the movie is the classic song "Through the Eyes of Love" was written for the movie.



Yes love conquers all in the end but hell rent the movie and watch it with a girlfriend its much better then any Tori Spelling movie.
