(1984) Footloose
DRAMA/ MUSICAL
I used to like this film, when I was like, a lot younger, but since then, after watching it again after many years, suddenly feels extremely simplistic, tame and self indulgent, despite the catchy soundtrack, has Kevin Bacon as a rebellious teenager, Ren MacCormack against the towns strict rules, especially against dancing and rock n' roll music etc...May be better appreciated by people who're anti-conservative, but for the rest of us, it's way too long with it's point seen a mile away, way before the film is even over. What is the point watching the future remake.
