Footloose

1984 • 107 minutes

About this movie

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."

Ratings and reviews

This brings back some memories,not a film I'd usually go for,but the nostalgia alone makes it worthwhile,and its nice to see a young Kevin Bacon and the brilliant Jon Lithgow together!

Not as good as the new one

Loved this ever since I was a kid a definite watch for all the musical lovers,simply classic.
