Footloose (1984)

Charles remembers when Footloose came out in '84.  He was in college and didn't see it.  Joseph saw it on Betamax as a youngster.  But the soundtrack was ubiquitous, inescapable, and enjoyable to listen and dance to.  And now, finally watching the movie after all years, the one question on Charles' mind is "Where's the dance?" This big dance-filled extravaganza turns out to be -- well, not that.  Some close-ups of feet, an angry warehouse pound-fest, a two-left-footed montage, and a final breakdance-off appear to be about it.  The rest is...well, we love us some Dianne Wiest!
