Talk:Footloose (1984 film)

message: Is anyone able to add a plot outline to this? I would love to know what the story (true or false) actually is. So if you have seen the movie please feel free to add to what I know. I am aware that it is about children in some school that had to fight to have a school dance, but if anyone has the time to add some details I would be grateful.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.63.233.81 (talk) 04:38, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The remake section is out of control.  Fully 2/3rds of the references in this article are in that section, but the information is contradictory, the sources are mostly Hollywood gossip sites, and there is very little in the way of verifiable information.  It's an awful lot of information about a film that might not even be made.  That section should be trimmed back to one paragraph with only the most recent, verified information. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:10, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I've always thought musicals are like Annie or Mary Poppins where characters sing for no real reason.  Even some musicals they sing for a reason but in this film no one sings in this.  How can this movie be in the same category as Annie or Mary Poppins.  This film is only a drama.  In fact, I believe this film is a comedy-drama because some parts of this film are humorous.  It is just as much humor as there is drama but there is nothing that makes this a musical except for dancing and Kenny Loggins singing but nothing else. ModerateTy (talk) 01:28, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Hello. I saw that discussion post that said more details would be appreciated, and someone on here won't let me make ANY changes. I am not vandalizing the page, I am making it better. I know lots about the movie and all I want to do is expand the plot and add more details. It is not descriptive enough the way it is because someone takes anything I edit and sands it down. Thanks, Burmiester — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burmiester (talk • contribs)  (09:53, 29 January 2011)
:Plot summaries are not supposed to be detailed descriptions of the film.  They are supposed to be brief summaries, that is why your details and description have been repeatedly removed. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 15:43, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The following names have been listed in the infobox for a long time, but I can find no indication they had anything to do with the movie: Nigel Harrison, Mark Mothersbaugh, and Jamshied Sharifi.  Does anyone have any idea why they were listed? ---RepublicanJacobiteTheFortyFive 04:36, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

"and teamed up with Melnick's IndieProd…". I checked the information above this reference and could not determine who Melnick is. I suggest that be clarified or removed. Milhistor8 (talk) 18:34, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

– The 1984 film has at this point clearly become the primary topic for the term Footloose. This page has a majority of views of all articles in the disambiguation page, and more than half of the others there derive from this film, including the song, remake, and stage adaptation. The 2011 film, which was the main competitor to this film in the previous RM, has mostly been forgotten, while this film maintained the same relevance it had in the previous RM. The cultural significance of this film also outweighs all the other topics on the disambiguation page. Ladtrack (talk) 16:59, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: #Requested move (2012) shows that others do not think that the song's popularity-factor is added to the film's. -- 65.92.244.143 (talk) 21:27, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
