Ice Castles
When Tragedy Struck, Love Came To The Rescue.
The beloved three-hankie tearjerker starring 1970's teen heartthrob Robby Benson and Lynn-Holly Johnson, Ice Castles is a classic story of love triumphant over tragedy.
Alexis "Lexie" Winston (Johnson) is a pretty teenage figure skater and Olympic hopeful who seems destined for greatness. Encouraged by her coach Beulah (Superbly Portrayed by Colleen Dewhurst), Lexie strives to be her best. Her father (Tom Skerritt) has his misgivings, but Lexie skates her way to the finals. Just as Lexi's headed for the top, she suffers a freak accident. With the love and support of her childhood sweetheart Nick Peterson (Benson), Lexie transforms her personal misfortune into a heartbreaking victory. Powered by a swelling Marvin Malisch score and Melissa Manchester's smash hit theme song "Through the Eyes of Love," Ice Castles is an inspirational drama guaranteed to leave a lump in your throat.

Decent for it's genre - polkaroo79
I enjoyed this movie quite a bit. I am sure some people would call it cheesy, but for it's genre it's not bad. I have definately seen worse. It is a beautiful story about love and friendship. I think if you like old movies (like endless love and love story etc)you will enjoy this one.An interesting movie - Manny1
This was an interesting movie to watch, it was better then i had expected, however i find it the same as any other figure skating movie to be. It has the same concept of any other figure skating movie by having the figure skater getting pressured everytime. However i had never really expect her to be skate really well again 1 year after she had the accident. overall i will give it a fair rating.
