Footloose
Loosely based on events that took place in the small, rural, and extremely religious farming town of Elmore City, Oklahoma in 1978. Dancing had been banned for nearly ninety years, until a group of high school teenagers challenged it.,When Ren is dancing in the factory and is swinging on the high bar-type pole, he is wearing gloves. During the rest of the sequence he is bare-handed.,Ren: You like Men at Work?
Willard: Which man?
Ren: Men at Work.
Willard: Well where do they work?
Ren: No, they don't, they're a music group.
Willard: Well what do they call themselves?
Ren: Oh no! What about the Police?,CBS edited 10 minutes from this film for its 1987 network television premiere.,Featured in At the Movies: Lassiter/Footloose/Against All Odds/The Complete Beatles/Weekend Pass (1984),Footloose
Performed by Kenny Loggins
Written by Kenny Loggins and Dean Pitchford
Produced by Kenny Loggins with Lee De Carlo (as Lee DeCarlo),OK, maybe I'm giving in to nostalgia here but I rented "Footloose" recently and thought it was great. Yes, it's definitely a teen flick, similar to "Dirty Dancing", and aging a little now.

But the music is great and the plot and themes do as much for me as "Grease" ever did. As teen movies go, it is somewhat original and interesting.

Who should see this film:

-- Teens with nothing better to do on a rainy day

-- People reliving the 1980s, you won't be disappointed to

see this one again

I'll give Footloose a 9 out of 10 because it cheered me up on a day I needed it.,Take a side-by-side look at some of Hollywood's biggest reboots and remakes.,
