In a shuffling of its fall high-def slate, Paramount Home Entertainment has indefinitely postponed the planned October Blu-ray and HD DVD release of 'Flashdance.'

The blockbuster '80s musical -- which introduced the world to Jennifer Beals and ripped sweatshirts -- was originally announced for a simultaneous September 18 bow on both Blu-ray and HD DVD.
