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*

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

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

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. Will not watch it. Won't watch the remake of Dirty Dancing, either. Don't mess with perfection.

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.

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.

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

I'm with you. I've stopped admitting to it, though, because people are horrified. I've also never seen Heathers. Thank god for anonymous fora.
Ok "Footloose" I can let go, but you've never seen "Heathers"?

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.
