I feel as though I have neglected Ciao for a while now, so I have decided to write a new review:
Foot loose: staring Kevin bacon, Lori Singer, Dianne West and John lithgow.
1984, Paramount Pictures, Director: Herbert Russ
Can you imagine worlds were Rock and Roll music, television and dancing was a sin! Well in the small town of Beaumont this is exactly what life is like. When new boy Ren (Kevin Bacon) arrives from Chicago I’m not sure who gets the biggest shock, him or the town! He rides into town dressed like David Bowie, music blaring from his car and turns the town on its head.
He is not the only rebel in the town, Ariel (Lori Singer) the reverends daughter has a little more than music on her mind when she sees new boy Ren. Rebelling against her father’s wishes she helps Ren plan a town dance.
There is a little more to this story than meets the eye, we discover that 5 years ago a group of kids headed out of town to watch a Rock and Roll band. On their way back into town after a night of music, dancing and liquor they had a car accident and died. One of those who died was the Son of the town’s Revered Saw Moore (John Lithgow) and Aerial’s brother.
Ever since that day dancing in the town has been made illegal, and Ariel had to pay the price for her brother’s death by her mother (Dianne West) and father becoming over protective.
Ariel and Ren together with the help of best friends Rusty (Sarah Jessica Parker), hold a town meeting to get permission for the dance. Ariel helps Ren use the bible against her father quoting things such as “David danced before the lord with all his might, leaping & dancing”
FACT: Based on a true story in 1979, the town of Elsemore wanted to have a dance for the school prom, but dances were not allowed, but the school rebelled against the coucil and rocked along with the rest of America!
This film has an excellent sound track and guarantees to have your feet tapping, knees shacking and your head nodding. With great songs for example “Holding out for a Hero”(Bonnie Tyler), “Lets Here it for the boys” (Denise Williams) and the title song “Foot Loose”(Kenny Loggins) Its no wonder the choreography was so brilliant.
For a fun film, filled with eighties flavor this is the one for you!
Rumours have it that Hollywood is planning a remake of the hit teen movie, so watch this space!!

I quite like this film but I wasn't allowed to watch it when I was little. Hell knows why. Very little happens in it!

This is one of my favourite films and the music has a lot to do with it i think, I will be watching out for the new version but it cannot be better than the first. Best wishes Gill.
