With innumerable outstanding films lighting the silver screen, cinematic history has seen its fair share of brilliance. Consider Footloose, a box office sensation that is still regarded as one of the most treasured inventions of the 1980s. Kevin Bacon’s electrifying performance was a highlight, wonderfully accompanied by the iconic soundtrack that rang throughout the age.

Fast forward to 2011, when a reimagined version of this classic was released in theaters. Although it didn’t quite capture the original’s magic, the spirit of the story was preserved. The filmmakers used a country twist, most notably in the characters’ wardrobe, to keep the film’s essence alive.

Below is a beautiful collection of the film’s iconic dance numbers. Kevin Bacon’s mesmerizing dances undoubtedly dominate the show, displaying an astounding breadth of choreography. Despite the differences, the recreation retains its own charm.

Kevin’s magnetism, in my opinion, is unrivaled. Don’t just take my word for it; see the magic for yourself. Check out the complete video below and share your thoughts on the original and remake in the comments section on Facebook. Which one do you think had the best dance performances?
