Closed Captioned; Additional Footage; Soundtrack English; Soundtrack French; Director's Comments; Dolby Digital 5.1 Re; Sensor Matic; Special Edition Kevin Bacon stars in this classic tale of teen angst and repression, combining terrific dance choreography with a sizzling soundtrack. Ren (Bacon) is a streetwise city teenager who moves to a conservative rural community where rock music and public dancing are prohibited. Together with the local minister's daughter (Lori Singer) the young man struggles to revitalize the spirit of the townspeople. This classic tale of teen rebellion features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic, touching performances. When teenager Ren (Kevin Bacon) and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small midwestern town, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal. There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel (Lori Singer), a troubled but lovely blonde--who also has a jealous boyfriend. In fact, it is Ariel's dad (John Lithgow), a Bible-thumping minister, who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free. Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance--especially since the senior prom is around the corner--but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle. Ren's pent-up frustrations cause a confrontation with Rev. Shaw Moore and the local town council as he takes on the small-town establishment struggling to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople. Herb Ross's fast-paced drama is filled with such hit songs as the title track and "Let's Hear It for the Boy" and is a classic of 1980s Brat Pack cinema. David Hasselhoff makes a cameo appearance in a diner scene.
"What did David do? What did David do? What did David do? David danced. Leaping and dancing before the Lord. There was a time for this law, but not anymore. This is our time to dance."--Ren (Kevin Bacon)
The hit movie was later turned into a successful Broadway musical. Footloose Reviews: "...[Bacon is] superb....Dianne Wiest is terrific..."
-- Har., Variety "[With a] perfectly choreographed '80s-feel-good-film routine..."

Footloose Movie Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  A CLASSIC
I BOUGHT THIS VIDEO FOR MY 13 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, SHE HAS OCCASIONALLY SEEN THE MOVIE ON TV AND ALWAYS WANTED TO SEE THE MOVIE FROM START TO FINISH. SO I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE A NICE SURPRISE FOR HER TO HAVE HER OWN MOVIE. SHE HAS ALREADY WATCHED IT THREE TIMES.
IT'S NICE TO KNOW THAT A MOVIE I WATCHED AS A YOUNG TEENAGER IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER.
THANK YOU!

Great movie..., even better music. This movie was famous for its soundtrack, and the soundtrack plays such a major role in defining the movie itself. The storyline/plot and characters are at time a little too superficial, but the overall start-to-finish result is entertaining. For the most part, it really makes you want to dance.
