Flashdance

Flashdance - DVD (1983)
My first experience of Flashdance, was one of my parents friends bought the video around to our house one evening after seeing the sucky experience of 3rd rate Godspell performed at the local seminary.

I guess I must of been allowed to stay up late to watch the movie, and it seemed all terribly grown up , and dark and kind of dangerous. Watching now, it doesn't seem too dated although it is certainly an 80's movie. Love the clothes, makeup and most of all the ten speed bike.

I wonder what it would be like if they remade it? Some generic pornstar looking actress whose face is full of botox at 24, and some girlyboy as the main love interest. She would still be a welder, but in skintight overalls and living in a million dollar apartment, her best friend would be an singer superstar and the club would be some fancy smancy hangout. Just wrong, wrong, wrong.

So my Saturday night late night treat rates a 2/5. Oh and I can still remember what I was wearing when I watched it, a black top, a overall type dress I had dyed grey, black tights and my black pirate style strapped flat boots - hot!!!!
