If you love this film like I do, and you'd like to be able to purchase it on DVD, then please write to Warner Home Video Customer Service. Warner is the owner of it, and it's their decision if they release it. They are foolish to have such a treasure and not release it to the public for a retail price.
Unfortunately, you have to send "snail mail" since Warner Home Video Customer Service does not have email.

(1991)
Category: Comedy Director: Thomas Schlamme

PLEASE powers that be, release this film on DVD. I absolutely love it!!

I fell in love with this movie the first time I saw it. Somehow it always makes me feel that we can find love and happiness if we are willing to take a few risks. There is a reason this movie has almost all 5 star reviews.. you can't help but feel good after you watch it. Sly commentary about the way we all to often view life and people, with some really great lines. I was telling a friend about the other day and when she asked " So does she stay with the man?" I just smiled and said " You will have to watch it and see for yourself!".. and so will you!!

This is a great movie, supurb comedy with great insight and delightful viewing experiences. This is a fun movie that left me happy about the human condition. But. Why is it not available on DVD?? What is happening that such a beautiful movie is denied wide exposure while absolute rubbish (and violence) fills the shelves of retail outlets. Please Amazon - speak with the movie companies and get this gem into the hands of the public.

It is a sleeper that is hardly even heard of, but it is great. I own a copy and I have watched it at leat 20 times. Whenever I am looking for a relaxing, enjoyable movie, I watch Crazy from the Heart. It is a beautiful love story with a great sound track. (However it does not provide the credits for the music, nor can the sound track be found. I searched everywhere for the sound track and found it does not exist.) If the producers would mass market this video or DVD to get the price down, I would by several copies to give as gifts.

I am a very serious DVD collector. I'm pushing 1,000 DVDs in my collection at the moment. I've been replacing all of my VHS movies with DVDs as they come out. And one of the few titles that still is not out is "Crazy from the Heart". I bought the VHS when it was inexpensive. Now they're asking outrageous prices for the tape version since there is no DVD. About once a week I type the title of the movie hoping that it will be released real soon. No such luck so far. It's one of my wife's and myself included favorite movies to watch. We're watching the video right now. Please Turner Home Entertainment release it on DVD.

I love this movie!!! They just have got to release it to DVD!!!!
It's a gotta see movie!

Over the years I've owned two copies of this, and recently had to buy a third - alas, again only available in VHS. I wish they would release it on DVD. This is one I love sharing with friends. In DVD, I'd be able to give it as gifts to new friends. I enjoy watching it, but how wonderful it is to show this one for the first time to someone who has never seen it. I've done this so many times, and everyone who sees it wants it. Truly it is "wonderful" from the heart!! But, then Ruben Blades ALWAYS makes magic in all his many ranges of creative talents. Gracias Ruben!

Everytime I see this movie, I swear I get goose bumps all over. If you have ever been truly in love, this movie will pull at your heart strings for sure. I think the reason why I really love this movie is the fact that something that is so forbidden like being in love with someone from the wrong side of the tracks and just going for it. Just ignoring what everyone else says is a topic that most of the world can certainly relate to. Do yourself a favor and rent this but, do not buy it unless someone decides to lower the price of this movie which I have to admit is so ridiculous that I would not even buy it, I would rather rent the movie a dozen times instead.

I absolutely loved this movie, and bought it despite the rather high price so I could make everyone I know watch it with me. Ruben and Christine were so wonderful. It was a joy to watch him help her loosen up and start to enjoy life on their first date. I laughed, cried, my heart twisted at the beauty of the night beach scene and I wanted to cheer when she finally saw the light. A delightful hidden gem of a movie whose social commentary is subtly hidden.
