This movie, in my book, is still one of my all time favorites. It spoke to me on several levels. When I was young, I had mover around a lot..house to house, as my mom & dad were renters. I know how it is to move to a new area, and have to start over making friends. And yes, sometimes you are just not accepted by some people. I especially loved this movie because it had dancing in it: one thing that I have never been able to master. I have often been awstruck by a good dance movie: whether it was break dancing, hip hop, dirty dancing etc. I respect the people who let it all hang out. Footloose made me feel that even I could be accepted; and even as a dancer. Now as a father myself, I can understand and feel the pain that the preacher must have felt; in trying to protect his only daughter. I understand that as a father, no matter who you are (IE: a preacher), you will make mistakes. Footloose can teach you (if you are listening) that it is never to late to make a change, and do the "right thing". The music that layed the background in this film is also wonderful. It made me thing about all the things I was doing when they came out. Of course, they are real toe tappers in their own right. It has been a month or so since I last saw this film, but I do believe I counted the title track being played (or some segment thereof)somewhere around 7 times from start to finish. That may have been a little over-the-top, but it was not too distracting to take anything away from the movie. This movie shows that if people are willing to compromise, it can be a win-win situation for all concerned parties. Footloose has my vote for one of the all time classic movies: dance or otherwise.Read full review
I have on vhs-updating to DVD. Reasonable cost for an '80' s classic. Great performances by Dianne Weist, John Lithgow( who plays his roles feircely), Kevin Bacon at his sexiest, Christopher Penn at his best( R I P Talented young man).The dancing was an added perk to this engaging story." Boy meets bad girl". 5 🌟s

THIS FILM, FOOTLOOSE, STARS KEVIN BACON AND IT'S ABOUT HOW A YOUNG PERSON CAN CHANGE THE THINKING OF A SMALL TOWN PREACHER PLAYED BY JOHN LITHGOW. IT HAS A GREAT SOUNDTRACK WITH SEVERAL BIG SONGS THAT WERE HITS ON THE RADIO. THERE'S ALSO A LOT OF DANCING DONE BY A STAND-IN FOR KEVIN BACON. THERE'S A COMMENTARY BY KEVIN BACON THAT'S VERY INTERESTING. IT'S A THOUGHT-PROVOKING, ENTERTAINING FILM.

I enjoyed reminiscing the days of yester-years. Don't like to input on people's culture and way of life but this movie was satisfying for the change that took place. I seen this movie twice on TV already and probably see it again if shown, besides the point that I purchased the DVD too! I liked the final approved to dancing part which will assist in adding ideas to a program of an up and coming event that's scheduled in the near future. I'm just glad where you can purchase and be able obtain DIVs of movies you desire and be able to use any time.
