Footloose jumps with spirit, dazzling dance numbers and an electrifying musical score. It portrays the timeless struggle between innocent pleasure and rigid morality, when city-boy Ren McCormick (Kevin Bacon) finds himself in an uptight Midwestern town where dancing has been banned. Ren revolts with best friend Willard (Chris Penn) and the minister's daughter (Lori Singer). A treasury of Top 10 songs-Kenny Loggins "Footloose," Shalamar "Dancing In The Sheets," Deniece Williams "Let's Hear It For The Boy," Bonnie Tyler "Holding Out for A Hero," and the Footloose love theme, "Almost Paradise."

No real reason I love this movie, it's just good to watch at anytime on any day and that's what makes it a truly great movie. Plus one of the best soundtracks ever.

I've seen this movie countless times growing up and continue to watch it! I love this movie, because it has a great message and of course great dancing. It taught me to fight for what was right and what I wanted as a kid and I can only hope that movies will be half as good as these old ones one day.

I don't see why film critics, especially Rotten Tomatoes, don't like this movie. Although, the minister played by John Lithgow was an easy-to-dislike character. Still, it was great with Kevin Bacon being the hero, and with the songs, "Holding Out for a Hero" and "Footloose."
