Did Footloose really need to be remade?

| No, it really did not and for Kevin Bacon to turn down a cameo role because he didn't want to lessen the film's integrity is beyond laughable. |

Ok "Footloose" I can let go, but you've never seen "Heathers"? |

| 19:58, I got a solicitation to join AARP when I was not even 30. I filled out the form, looking forward to my days of discounts, etc. Instead I got an "Associate Membership" where I got the newsletter and learned new ways to scam old people. |

| Based on the pictures, apparently they've decided Ariel needs to be a lot sluttier looking this time around. |

OP here. I don't know how the term revival can be applied to a movie.
I do remember that when I was a kid my mom took us to see Footloose in the theater with our friends and their mom (their older two were 1 and 3 years older than me) and we left in the middle of the movie because my mom decided it wasn't appropriate. I don't remember how old I was, maybe middle school, but my parents were always pretty conservative about movies. Our friends stayed for the whole movie. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure if I've ever seen all of Footloose or Dirty Dancing in one sitting. |

I got that too! I wrote "WRITE BACK IN 25 YEARS" on it in sharpie and sent it back. Haven't heard from them since. |

| In my remake of Footloose, Ren would sue in the local federal court on the basis the ban on music an dancing violates the First Amendment. He would win in about 2 seconds. |

| No. Will not watch it. Won't watch the remake of Dirty Dancing, either. Don't mess with perfection. |

| I never saw the original movie until recently. I watched 30 minutes of it and it was terrible. I was heavy into watching videos (who wasnt) back then so I felt as if I'd seen it. However..back in the day I jammed to the soundtrack (nonstop) and when the songs come on now, I find it impossible not to sing, dance along. |

| No. Now the Saw series? Those are important films (except for Saw IV). |

| Heathers was edgy, essential viewing back in the day. Footloose? Not so much. |

| I don't think Footloose need to be remade at all. It's a B movie, yes. But is was satisfying like half a jar off Fluff™ on big mug of hot chocolate. Can't be improved upon really. Kevin Bacon was smokin' hot in that movie and...ahhhhhhh! *trips over walker* |
