Footloose

When city boy Ren moves to small town USA, he is in for serious culture shock. After a local drunk driving accident, the town has outlawed all forms of teen rebellion—no late nights, no partying, no rock music, no dancing But there is one thing that keeps Ren from going totally out of his mind— the minister’s daughter, Ariel. Ariel has a rebellious streak too, and it’s not long before she and Ren are rallying their friends, and proving to the adults that teen spirit, celebration, and yes, a little rebellion, can’t be contained—it’s downright contagious!

 

The themes of this classic movie are timely as ever: freedom of expression, the role of religion in community, defining family values, and—the ultimate perennials—rock ’n’ roll and teen spirit.
