Flashdance
What a feeling.
Alex Owens is a female dynamo: steel worker by day, exotic dancer by night.
Her dream is to get into a real dance company, though, and with encouragement from her boss/boyfriend, she may get her chance.
The city of Pittsburgh co-stars. What a feeling!
Some consider the film a 1980s Hollywood classic, a view not shared by Roger Ebert, who included it on his list of most hated films.
Starring; Jennifer Beals.
Footloose
Classic tale of teen rebellion and repression features a delightful combination of dance choreography and realistic and touching performances.
When teenager Ren (Kevin Bacon) and his family move from big-city Chicago to a small town in the West, he's in for a real case of culture shock. Though he tries hard to fit in, the streetwise Ren can't quite believe he's living in a place where rock music and dancing are illegal.
There is one small pleasure, however: Ariel (Lori Singer), a troubled but lovely blonde with a jealous boyfriend. and a Bible-thumping minister, who is responsible for keeping the town dance-free.
Ren and his classmates want to do away with this ordinance, especially since the senior prom is around the corner, but only Ren has the courage to initiate a battle to abolish the outmoded ban and revitalize the spirit of the repressed townspeople.
Starring; Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer.
