[quote=Anonymous]Footloose, Flashdance, Dirty Dancing.

I was a little older, had little kids, so my perspective may have been different if I was younger.  I love music and dancing  and you know none these are going to be in any way realistic.

DD - loved the original music, liked/loved some of the dance scenes, and will occasionally watch it just to see a couple of those. But definitely things that made me go huh(?) or roll my eyes.  Why was Johnny so enraged about a locked car that he had to take a baseball bat to the window?  To show he was a rebel bad guy?  Baby’s father so upset and disappointed  with her.  Until a big dance with Johnny and all is forgiven and he’s ok?  A lot of plot holes that don’t really make sense.  But, hey, it’s all pretend, but sometimes kind of a far reach.

Flashdance - loved the music, loved the dancing, basic Hollywood plot, girl has talent, wants to be a star, has no chance, goes for it, gets a chance and everyone is wowed and dreams come true. Predictable and corny, you know how it’s going to end but brain candy enjoyable.

Footloose - loved the music, loved the dance scenes.  Still corny and predictable but had a little more fleshed out storyline and characters.  New outsider guy who doesn’t get the small town vibe, pastor father biased with religion beliefs furthered by son’s death, pastor daughter rebelling by trying to be the bad girl.  Some understanding and acceptance of others toward the end (did I mention predictable? Lol)

And Everybody Dance.  [/quote]
