I'm feeling nostalgic, but not sure I want to watch all three. Feel free to share your thoughts, too. (Also please lmk if you saw them when they first came out; meaning...older, like me)

Best All Around: Dirty Dancing
Sexiest: Flashdance
Making hick towns popular: Footloose

I saw Footloose and Dirty Dancing in the theater - was a bit too young for Flashdance and I don't think I saw that entire film until years later. It's a different film from the other two, which are basically coming of age movies.

Ooh - tough one, OP. I will say, when Irene Cara died last year I listened to her music again. Talk about feeling nostalgic!

Music from all the movies was really good and might rate better than the movies themselves.

Dirty Dancing: An excellent period piece with an iconic ending. (Nobody puts baby in the corner.) Strange matchup between Jennifer Gray and Patrick Swayze. I wasn't feeling the chemistry there.

Footloose: A teen flick with a formulaic plot and predictable ending, but the excellent theme song will live forever in the zeitgeist. One of the few times Kevin Bacon plays the romantic lead. (Can anybody even name who played the girl?)

Flashdance: Stupid movie. Stupid plot. Pretended to be feminist but she still needed some guy to save her. All the dance scenes were done using an uncredited stand-in. Spawned an entire decade of fashion with leg warmers and cut up sweatshirts. Guys seemed to like it more than girls, and the only thing they remember is that she took off her bra under her shirt and pulled it out of her sleeve.

Of course- Lori Singer. She was also on Fame.

If you get the chance the Dirty Dancing episode on the Movies That Made Us series on Netflix is really fun.

This is correct, but DD is way better than both of the other films.
