I saw "The Cutting Edge" in the theater when it first came out, and I fell in love with the movie and the music. I love this soundtrack, I'm grateful to MGM & Rykodisc for releasing it, and I hope that no one views the rest of my comments as negative, because it really is wonderful. I just wanted to let fans of the movie know that having seen a list of the intended songs before the CD was released, I know the soundtrack is missing more than two songs. Besides "The Race" and "Diddley Daddy," which have already been mentioned by other reviewers, the CD was also supposed to include "Love Shack," "Walking the Dog," "Auld Lang Syne," "Lauretta," and maybe one or two more. I'm not sure where "Lauretta" is in the movie, but I know that the other three I mentioned are heard briefly at the New Year's Eve Party. I'm not sure if the ommissions were made so that they could make it an enhanced CD or not, but I do wish they had included all the songs. Regardless of these omissions, I believe that this CD is a great companion to the movie, and I enjoy cranking it up in my car. :-) Maybe if we all express our opinions to Rykodisc and MGM, we can get them to release another disc with these missing songs plus some of the instrumental songs heard in the movie but not listed in the movie credits. I hope everyone enjoys this CD as much as I have!

First saw this movie on video back in '92 and remember it being cute. But fast forward to '00 and it was fantastic. Just had to have the soundtrack as it got me really motivated while watching the movie. Was it the music or Moira Kelly in tights? All I know is that the music was for sale, she wasn't. The only drawback to the CD was that it didn't include the song that they played while they were playing hockey with each other. Other than that, excellent music and the original video trailer that they included was a nice touch.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE The Cutting Edge. I saw this movie the first night of its release, and three more times after that while it was still in the theaters. I bought the video, and just received the DVD for Christmas. One thing that has always bugged me is that I know the first time I saw the movie, it showed Doug reaching up to catch Kate from his view, and the next weekend when I saw it again, that scene was gone!!! To me, it was the best scene in the movie. Now I know I wasn't crazy, because on the movie trailer it shows that scene. I just really wish they hadn't taken it out of the actual movie. (I know of two other scenes that were deleted, too. I wonder if it's possible to get the original version of the movie anywhere.) Anyway, I still watch the movie all the time, and can basically repeat all the dialogue from memory. My brother has lived with me for about a year, and he knows it as well as almost anyone now, too! It's a movie that both guys and women can love! To my way of thinking, this soundtrack is one of the best CDs ever. I love listening to it! (Especially "Turning Circles" and "Feels Like Forever.") I can now take the movie with me everywhere!!!

If you love the movie, this soundtrack is a must have! I listen to it all the time. I'm so glad MGM decided to release it. The enhanced CD version comes with the theatrical trailer that was shown to promote the movie which is fun to watch.

I can't believe that this soundtrack is finally available. I have been searching for it since the movie came out and have asked innumerable sales people about it. I thought I would ultimately have to result to pasting together a tape of my own. The Cutting Edge is one of the staples of my movie collection, largely because of its music. The songs were well chosen for the different scenes and the overall collection has great variety. There are some songs that I like to sing or dance to (especially Ride On Time) and there are others that are great to just listen to. This CD will be a favorite of anyone who loves the movie.

This is about the best soundtrack album I've ever owned!!! I am a big fan of the movie, too. The artists on the cd are virtually unheard of but it ROCKS!!! I especially like "baby now I". a good purchase for anyone

On a whim I entered "Cutting Edge" into the amazon search machine- and a soundtrack appeared. I saw this movie when it first came out on video and loved it, especially the music. In particluar the one song from the music montage showing them working out. This was 5 or 6 years ago and no soundtrack was available. Through much effort and money I was able to find and purchase an album by Black Box featuring "Ride On Time" a phenomenal song. And now years later they release the soundtrack, so immediately I bought it. So should you. Great Movie, Great Music.

I can't remember how many years ago I purchased the movie, "The Cutting Edge" with D.B. Sweeney and Moira Kelly. Probably about 4-5 years ago, and I always enjoyed the soundtrack. I put the movie away for several years, and finally started playing it again. And again, and again....It's such a motivator!!! As Moira Kelly said at the end of the movie "Because I'm in the mood to kick a little [rear]!" This Soundtrack sure does it! You just want to get in the film and jog with them while "Ride on Time" plays, and I just wanted to get on the ice and do an axel jump to "Groove Master". No wonder this CD is so hard to get! I went on a feverish hunt through retail stores and the internet to retrieve this CD, and believe me, it's worth it! Grab it if you can! You won't regret it! My favorite songs off this album are: 1.) Street of Dreams; 2.) Ride on Time; 3.) Groove Master; 4.) Baby, Now I. This was the song where Sweeney and Kelly are doing shots and dancing after the Nationals. Anyway, a great CD to listen to almost anywhere!

The Cutting Edge Soundtrack is great. I just saw the movie a few weeks ago and fell in love with it and the music. The CD is great not only because it contains a great score but also because it features every song in its' entirety, which is a luxury since the movie only uses bits and pieces of every song. Trust me you'll love this long pleasant soundtrack for some time to come.

I thoroughly enjoy the cd but I wish they'd make another that contains the missing 2 songs "Diddley Daddy" and "The Race."
