Can't wait for the re-make film that will be launch next year ;)

This is the Classic Movie.
What a time capsule this movie is. The little things. The way Kevins character thrusts his cassette tape into this tape deck in the car. No one can do that anymore. This movie has aged very well.

I can't definitely watch this movie over and over. I'll definitely quote it also.
This movie is a classic.I will always enjoy watching Footloose and listening to its soundtrack!
A classic teen movie. Lots of heart and Kevin Bacon becomes a star. Lithgow is equally wonderful as the preacher
