I look forward to the 2disc set of Phantom of the Opera! I saw the film and was entranced. The musical score was lush, the performances were outstanding. Emmy Rossum as Christine and Patrick Wilson as Raoul were charming, but for me, Gerard Butler was the 'break through' performance.His interpretation of the Phantom left me breathless! When he is on screen you cannot take your eyes off of him.

I agree, it was a fantastic movie, looking forward to seeing the DVD. I have already pre-ordered this from Amazon. Gerard Butler made this movie for me, Joel Schumacher did a tremendous job with the beautiful sets, the costumes and the music CD is so much more emotion filled than the stage version.
