** It should be noted that had he been simply left alone, Ren would not have done anything, and would have acclimated to the town, learning how to keep his city-based habits in check. By being the UntrustingCommunity, they basically pushed Ren far enough to do something about their way of life and thinking.

* RuleAbidingRebel: Ren actually ''does'' try to follow the rules most of the time (as restrictive as they may be) but is still labeled a rebel simply because he's from out of town. [[invoked]][[invoked]]. The labeling eventually backfires on the town, because the constant ostracism by the townsfolk, Ariel's suicidal obsession with his supposed wild behavior, and the actual ne'er-do-wells of the town (that have somehow been conveniently ignored by the townsfolk, especially in favor of Ren) framing him as the bad influence the town sees him as are what actually spur Ren to finally do something about it. Had he been left alone, he would have stayed out of everybody's way like he was planning to.

Like ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' and ''Film/TheBreakfastClub'', ''Footloose'' isn't one of those fantastic cinematic experiences you need to see for artistic reasons. It's one of those [[TheEighties 1980s]] film classics that you have to see because it has been referenced time and time again until it has become a cultural icon.
Directed by Herbert Ross, after Creator/MichaelCimino of ''Film/HeavensGate'' infamy was fired from the production out of fear that he would make another ''Heaven's Gate''.
