Description
With a bribe to a computer hacker to juggle the admissions list and a lucky night in Las Vegas to bankroll his tuition, brash American Nick De Angelo is off to England's prestigious Oxford University. He's not going for an education. He's going for romance. He'll get both in ways he doesn't expect.
Oxford Blues, as reviewers note, updates the classic era's A Yank at Oxford. Rob Lowe plays Nick, whose cockiness clashes with upper-crust tradition while he pursues co-ed Lady Victoria (Amanda Pays), a woman he knows only from her press clippings. But there's another pursuit driving Nick. He's a talented crew oarsman - a skill that may allow Oxford's elite to see that there's real fire behind Nick's flash.This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

Unviewable movie. Factory defect on the disk. March 10, 2010
T. David B. (Sierra VIsta, AZ)
At 12 minutes and 13 seconds into the movie the movie locked up and it was impossible to forward or skip past the defect to see the movie. I need to know how to return it for another copy.

 Oxford BLUES March 8, 2010
J. Johnson (Wyoming)
Wanted to rehash a fav from my youth but was truely disappointed. This dvd copy only worked on a windows 7 dvd player. I sent the first copy back because I thought it was just damaged, but the second wouldn't play either. I then tried it on three over devices and only one worked (windows 7). I was VERY sad to have paid $19.95 for this inferior product plus shipping them back.

For years I waited for this 1984 movie to be released on DVD and when it finally was made available "on demand" at Amazon.com I hesitated purchasing it. I heard some of those do not play well. Not my copy of Oxford Blues.
Growing up in a small British Commonwealth country I yearned for college education in England and Cambridge was my dream college. (Some thirty years later I entered graduate school in Chicago).
I rented Oxford Blues shortly after it played in theatres in the early 1980s. I loved it, and kept a VHS copy. Grad school went smoothly but there were days when I simply tired of evening studies after work and felt like throwing in the towel. Each time I felt that way I interrupted my studies and popped the VHS into the player to see glorious Oxford University, the rowing team, the debating society, the revered latin-speaking professor and, oh yes, the adventurous Nick De Angelo. And after each viewing I was motivated all over to pursue my heart's desire.
Oxford Blues is 5 stars all the way. It's great to be young!
A Brat At Oxford August 4, 2009

My wife was curious why "Oxford Blues" was included with Warners Archive collection. She thought these films were reserved for old black-and-whites and not for something she had such a vivid recall for. I hate to break it to her but this flick is 25 years old and Rob Lowe is no longer gracing the cover of "Tiger Beat". When this film came out I was in college and naturally I didn't see it because I was dismissive of this narcissistic pretty boy. Most of the so-called Brat Pack drew the ire of elitists notably Lowe and Judd Nelson, but that's another story. Lowe got my grudging respect after an inspired guest hosting gig on "Saturday Night Live". Two sketches stood out, a wicked impersonation of Arsenio Hall (in white face no less) and another called "Helmet Head". Lowe also did a memorable turn in "Wayne's World" a few years later. As for the film it's a breezy entertainment about a self-absorbed Vegas stud(Lowe) who enrolls at Oxford to show up the upper crust and land the most desirable woman in the U.K., Lady Victoria(Amanda Pays) in the process learns about himself and the importance of teamwork. Lowe has a certain smarmy charm and Pays and Ally Sheedy represent the polar opposites of cuteness. There's a certain cool factor here with the presence of Michael Gough, Alfred the Butler in "Batman", and Aubrey Morris, Mr. Deltoid from "A Clockwork Orange" in the cast. This is a lightweight affair but not bad.
