Appearance
One of the best 80s movies ever & an all time classic for any age!!!
This movie is awesome... Coming from one of the best decades ever, having an incredible soundtrack, great acting, and a unique story line- this movie is one of the best ever & will continue to be watched by every age group for years to come.The movie brings back so many memories for me...I still get just as excited watching it now, as I did back in the day!Lori Singer and Kevin Bacon were perfect for the roles and what about Chris Penn's performance??? he did a superb job...This movie never get's old and is just plain AWESOME!!!I hope they put it on bluray disc...Thanks for reading my review...
WOW
I saw this in the movies when it first came out, but I was amazed how many of the songs in the show are now 'standards'. We recently saw the road show in Ft. Lauderdale and it inspired us to buy the DVD. (The movie's better!!)
Remembering the 80's
Yes, Footloose is a all-time favorite hit with the younger generation. The dancing is top rate along with the music sountrack. It's an enjoyment I think the whole family to enjoy. But I do believe that (Ariel) Lori Singer needs to chill out. They really want to portray hr as wild,outta control preachers daughter. But she tries too hard. Chill out Girl!!!!
Now I gotta cut loose... but where are the extras!?!
Who was a teen in the 80s and did NOT feel an impact of this movie? Whether you liked or hated this film, like Flashdance, this was one of the key examples of the unique mixture of music and movies that we saw in the 80s.Why just 4 stars, then? LACK OF EXTRAS! If a studio is going to re-release a movie on DVD and charge over $...for it, there should be plenty of extras. How about the original music videos, or even interviews with cast/crew on the making of the film and the hype after its release? After all, it helped launch at least one major star's career and the cast was rich with very recognizable talent. Something could have and should have been done.
Flick full of fun and beat!
This movie is about a boy who moves into a small town which has been on the silence of dance and parties since the time a boy was killed in an accident which shook the town, and blamed it on the drinking and drugs at the parties, dances that young people caused. Once ayoung man (Kevin) arrives in the god for saken dump (as he calls it) he notices the problems that the place has and decides to bring the dance he has long waited for to city hall. It is a problem due to that the hall has banned it, and so it takes off from there. I liked it and would recommend it to you people.
Horrible video quality, not wide screen, my 20+ year old video has better picture
NO stars. It's a wonderful movie, but the image quality is awful.This is the second of four DVDs I purchased from Amazon last week.Three of them were supposed to be in wide-screen format. They were not.The image quality on this DVD is grainy, dull, speckled...I don't know the technical terms...but it's terrible. It looks as though the movie was taped off of a television set, with a cell phone, and then transfered to a DVD.This DVD not worth buying. The movie is great! The presentation on the DVD is awful. I have the old, origial video tape of this movie. I'll find a used video player and watch it. The image quality will be better.
