Just finished watching "Flashdance"
I love that movie.

It moves me on so many levels.

Why is it that Jennifer Beals was more believeable as a dancer than Kevin Bacon was in "Footloose".

Footlose sucked.

4. Bad news, y'all
The reason that she was "more believable" is that another dancer "body-doubled" all of the scenes where she danced.

9. Flashdance was better...

...than "Footloose", because all of humanity would rather look at Jennifer Beal's ass, than Kevin Bacon's ugly mug. ;-)

Both Beals and Bacon had stunt doubles do the dancing for them.

Neither movie had much plot, or was very believable, but "Flashdance" was a hell of a lot sexier.
