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."

This is the original and it's ok and the story is good but it dosent have as much emotion as the redo. And its very confusing, it doesn't tell u enough information about the characters or yhe story of what happened. But the redo does and it's more fun to dance too and it's spicier... if your into that ;)

I was 19... in love and heart broken...and it was my first Album...I still remember the day...I fought with my boyfriend. ..we sat on the couch after watching the movie...and made up when he bought me this Album...I sat not talking to him whole I read the cover...being secretly in love with Kevin Bacon...and trying to master the seated foot dance skit...and now I'm still holding out for a hero.
