80sfilms

Who knew that after 1983’s Flashdance, cut up sweatshirts draped off the shoulder would become such a fashion statement?  

This film, starring Jennifer Beals as a welder/dancer, made both welding and exotic dancing appealing to a whole generation of girls.

Again, the familiar underdog theme runs through Flashdance–will the main character reach her aspirations of becoming a serious dancer? Watch and find out!

One thing’s for sure–Beals was just as amazing 25 years ago as she is today (she now stars in Showtime’s “The L Word”–one of my personal favorite cable television shows).

Don’t look for deep, philosophical drama in this film, just enjoy Flashdance for what it is–a light film about dancing, with a minor plot to carry it through.
