Both versions of Footloose were amazing!

After seeing the trailer for the new movie, I came back here to calm my rage and remember what a good dance movie is.

I'm writing that this is the year 2024 and this year is Footloose's 40th anniversary. it's April 2024 and Footloose is available to stream on Netflix.

The new one was fantastic! It was a great job!

i love both versions of footlosse! i think its cool how different the clothes are in the 1984 version than the 2011 version.

The remake is great. Helps this generation enjoy the love of Footloose. Least they waited for the teenagers of '84 to have teenagers. Better than making a "Footloose 2" too. I enjoyed the remake because its the first time I've technically seen the story. I wasn't born till nearly '89. Don't get me wrong- I respect and love the originals. But if you really loved the story, you'd want them to modernize it for a new bunch of youth to be more likely to enjoy and relate to.

still loving it! why does hollywood have to remake everything? this is one that should have been left alone...IMHO

Can't believe they did a remake of this CLASSIC! I have the urge to punch the people for remaking Footloose in the face.

Never seen this version, so I should probably watch this before commenting but, I LOVED the remake. It was awesome! I like most classics too, so we'll see...but stop hate'n!

me too!!!!never it will be mi first time this weekend!!!!

Only saw the remake and it looks like a pretty good remake. Sticked to the original for a lot of scenes.

Maybe they did a remake because this movie didnt really interest younger audiences since its so old, but since they remade it, the story applies to younger audiences. The new one isnt really a remake, just more of a younger interpretation that applies to this generation... It actually keeps this classic going,.. doesnt ruin it.

Ok this will forever be the best Footloose movie, why fix it when it was never bad?? Kevin Bacon will alway's be Ren McCormick

I've never seen either the new movie or the old one... this one looks wayyyy better though!!

@Tilou425 Did the same. What's funny is even my kids are against the remake. They love the original as much as I do. I really think Hollywood needs to quit trying to remake everything and just come up with new ideas. The kid in the new Footloose isn't nearly as hot as Kevin Bacon was in the original. I had SUCH a crush on him back in the day!!!

@jdalijm2011 your right Kevin Bacon was such a cutie in Footloose!!!

I would love to see the two scenes in this Trailer that didn’t make into Footloose

Quick, eat it! EAT IT!!!!

1984 Ren

I love this one, however the new one was extremely good! Even my parents liked it and they don't like remakes so be open minded about this new one

The remake is fabulous and I don't care how many of you flame at me for saying so.

you guys, stop hating on the new one. stick with whatever generation your from and watch that one.

Can NEVER beat the original!!!! XD

The remake will probably be better than the original. I wish that the remake was actually the original because it will be far better than the original.

ahhh the 80's.. love them.... no war based on religion.. air was cleaner.. i love the 80's

@MireyaC91 i definately get what your saying and you make the most sensible argument towards ppl doin remakes...people cant make all these comparisons between generations it's inevitable tht there are goin to be differences tht just the way things are

Yes he was the original 1 yeah he was the main character smart 1

i watched the new movie trailer then this- omg- this just wow. whoever came up with the idea to remake the original should be... should be.... should have something BAD happen to him/her.

Did the 1984 version of movie ever show the part when chuck crashes his car ?

The new one was pretty damn good so stop your hatinggg

@thedogsear omigosh i know! it was so good!

@sharpnsnazzy i know know kevin bacon, but who the hell is being him in this remake?

I don't think that was the case in this one. The makers weren't the same in these two movies so it wasn't someone's will in making current youth interested in this movie. I believe it was more of a money thing. Personally, I don't think that people should make remakes because movies last forever. You can at anytime rent one from a internet store (or download). People still watch the oldies. Most of the youth of youth wouldn't probably know Footloose without the remake, but it's their bad.

same friggin car lol

i saw the 2011 one and i think that this one is kinda for old people i like the 2011 one better

I'm ashamed to say I've never seen this movie.

The new one was actual okay. This 80's one is better and Kevin Bacon is epic, but they did a great job with casting the new Willard and the scene where Ariel, Ren, Willard and Rusty dance outside of twon was actually better in the new one though my two favourite scenes (the chicken game with tractors and the warehouse dance scene) were totally ruined. As mention, the one playing Willard was great and the new Ren was all right too but the rest I was unhappy with, especially the new Chuck.

i hate to say it.. but im probably going to end up seeing the new one just out of curiousity.......... god damn curiousity.

have u even seen the new one?

I'm from this generationg and I love the original better :)

VW Bug Rules !

Obviously the music and dance moves aren't going to b the same they're remaking it in this time period. It only makes sense to use rap music instead of rock thts what teenagers to dance and news flash high school students grinding is an accurate depiction of kids dancing with one another. Two different movies and two generations it's as simple as tht

@IsabelleLutze a good alternative? no its not an alternative its just hollywood being lazy and going with what they know will work. and from watching both trailers the movies looks exactly the same so whats the reason for the alternative? if you didnt like footloose from 1984 your not going to like footloose from 2011,

@SRKGirl1983 the remake is really good though

@Tilou425 agreed

Nope Kevin Becon was not in Footloose, look it up.

i refuse to see the remake! you can't remake a good classic movie like this

@JustinTimberlake1981 ...yeah, but nor was ET and Star Wars ...they could have just digitally remastered it or made a sequel....which would prompt people to watch the first part.. Kevin Bacon was ace,,,.imagine remaking Greese or Saturday Night Fever or worse Ferris Beulers Day Off

What would Ryan Hardy think about that?

Why a remake! ?!

Is Lori Singer (Ariel from footloose) dead or alive,I havent heard of her lately....

Yes, Lori Singer is alive and is still an actress working to this day.

@tilou425 SAME HERE

@dahispaniola its kinda stupid, i know, but have you even seen the movie? some kids leaving from a dance party got killed in a car crash, so those guys decided to make it illegal to have dance parties, not to dance

the boy is hotter in the new one so shh;)

They are running out of stories for new movies, so instead they do remakes of classics. It's stupid, especially when they do it on a movies that is already 5/5 stars (I don't know if that's the real status on this movie, but most people I know will give it 5/5 because it is that good).

@chocolateteddy234 trust me when i say the older is and will always be better.

Was in Utah. Had. Friend. Live in Payson. Utah. We stayed. At her. House

I hope everyone actually hit the thumbs down button on the new(2011 version). I want to see only a red line. Lets make that green line shrink to nothing!

John C Reilly as willerd, or dont make it at all

Is that Sarah Jessica Parker at :40?

sometimes weird how they use 20 year olds to play people who are 16

Okay, I am from YOUR generation, and I BELIEVE the original is better. I tried watching the re-make, and honestly? They messed up the storyline BIG TIME. Ren is from CHICAGO. not BOSTON. Just putting it out there. I'm 20 years old, and living through this time period. and I will proudly say the 1984 ORIGINAL which, by the way, WAS MADE BEFORE I WAS BORN is better. So yeah. :)

If only Kevin Bacon could dance better..

The original is always better. end of.

To be honest, I watched half of the new one, and I hated it. I'm sorry, but being a film student, I hate messing with the classics. Some classics you can re-make and they may even be better....the new Footloose doesn't do the musical OR the original movie any justice. No offense to those who love the remake. I just hate how they modernized it and made it kinda trashy. It just isn't the same.
