What can I say about these two great 80's movies. It just brings back awesome memories & are two classics for sure. Wonderful idea to put these two together.

I haven't yet looked at the Flashdance portion of this DVD, but Footloose is a very poor transfer. There is dirt and spots throughout the film and most scenes are very soft and blurry. At least it's presented in anamorphic widescreen.

I purchased this double feature for my daughter who has never seen Footloose. The bonus was getting the Flashdance movie. They are both movies I loved as a teenager, and my daughter has watched Footloose at least 10 times already! The price for both was FANTASTIC, and delivery was less than a week!! Very happy with my purchase from Amazon.com and will continue to look for those good old movies that are too hard to find at a great price in stores!

Sincerely,

Great music...you can't sit still while any of it is playing. You will have to get up and dance around. Kevin Bacon was fabulous in this movie.

I was looking for Footloose -one of my all-time faves- but I'm a fan of both movies so I instantly saw the brilliance in putting these together; this double disc combo really is perfect. Both of these movies are meant to be inspiring, and of course the rockin' music and fabulous choreography have always pumped me up to WANT to dance, so this combo is kind of like a life-affirming, super-fun and calorie-burning 3-4 hour aerobic set! Pop em in and get up and dance! It sounds cheesy but if you appreciate these movies the way I do, you know what I'm talking about!

Footloose of course is about a cool city-boy stuck in a small-town with closed-minded, painfully strict church-loving and God-fearing people who believe that dancing and rock n roll are sinful devil's work that do nothing but make kids want to copulate (and the problem is....?). City-boy shows them the truth (music in all forms is good for the soul, and dancing is man's way of celebrating life! Ain't THAT the truth?!) and the errors of their ways in an inspiring 'fight for what you believe in' story with killer music, killer dancing, and the insanely hot Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer. If you appreciated the 80's, you can't lose!

Flashdance of course is a 'work hard and reach for your dreams' story about a young woman who dreams of going to a prestigious dance school to become a professional and respected dancer, and she certainly has what it takes! There isn't as much dancing as I would've liked in this movie, as it is also a romance and centers on that and her day jobs and yadda yadda, so for me the whole movie is basically just a long lead-up to the final amazing and powerful dance rehearsal, and THAT is what makes this movie hot. They should've done more of that. Still a good one though.

Footloose I give 5 out of 5 stars
Flashdance I give 3 out of 5 stars

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is my review. Thank you and stay tuned for the next one.....

What a terrific way to get both of the awesome dance films. Great value for the money and two wonderfulo films for my library.

I can't believe I grew up and never watched these two movies. Specially being a movie freak.... lol. It wasn't till my hubby bought this disc from Walmart that I finally got to watch these movies. I enjoyed them both a lot. Made me want to get up and start dancing.... lol.

I love both of these movies, feel they are very clean cut enjoyable entertainment. Watched the new movie out Footloose which was awesome, so I just had to see the original again. I enjoyed Kevin Bacon better in the role of Rin, but enjoyed Julianne Hough better as Ariel. Would definitely buy this again.

I love this double feature. Two classics. Good choice of movies to pair together. I got them for my daughter who was going to see the new Footloose and I wanted her to compare.

ARRIVED SOONER THAN ANTICIPATED. PERFECT CONDITION. LOVE THE ORIGINAL FOOTLOOSE. HAD NOT SEEN FLASHDANCE BEFORE, COULD LIVE WITHOUT THAT MOVIE. FOOTLOOSE IS ENJOYABLE AT ANY AGE.
