  • Great movie. Great song. Low-rate garbage remakes have nothing on the originals, in either case. Before another classic '80s film is regurgitated fro the wrong reasons, it'd be nice if Hollywood would consider making it's own special moments unique to the here and now, rather them trying to rehash something that was inherent to the '80s.

  • Dirty Dancing, Footlose, Street of Fire entre outros sao classicos quem viveu esta epoca e assistiu ADOROU... estou em 2012 e ainda naum curti filmes iguais a este...naum e nostalgia e sim classicos que quem gosta curtiu quer BIS

  • I just heard the remake and it was not even close. Where is the feeling? You can feel it in the original. It was like the just read the lyrics and sang.. waste...

  • i like tht song very much..........

  • prob will never watch the remake... if you grew up with the original there is no way you can expect to relive the magic of the 80s music and movies! growing up in the 80s was amazing.... it really was 'almost paradise' wish i could to back!!

  • ugh, just watched the remake, doesn't come close to capturing that original magic...damn, had to come here to reminisce...

  • I just saw the remake of this movie and I must say, the acting was terrible. The performances in the original were so much more heartfelt. Especially with the two leads. In the remake it was all about them looking sexy, there was no chemistry. And what about leaving all the iconic scenes out. Ariel did't even play chicken with the semitrailer?? And chuck was ugly. He was gorgeous in the first movie.

  • i've seen both versions. I was truly not disapointed in the remake. Its not the same as the original.. but it works for the new generation and they can relate to it more

  • this is Great.

    

  • the playbook! XD

  • when i hear this song,it feels make me happy..

  • i really love this song ever..

  • a time when people could make great movies and sing great songs

  • Such an amazingly beautiful song!!! The original Footloose soundtrack is one of my favorite cd's to listen to! The new Footloose really butchered the original songs!

  • @chobeegirl95 We regret more the things we Didn't do, than the things we did. What's the worst that could happen? If he diesn't like you, at least you'll know. And, if he does... :)

  • I loooooooove footloose so much (the old one)

  • Comment removed

  • THIS SONG IS SO BEAUTIUFUL:3

  • Beautiful !!! Bella !!!

  • @yeildyeild thank you so much, I've waited a long time to dance with my daddy to this song, I can't wait

  • Love this song was my mine and my first love( High school sweet hearts) song I will never forget, seems like so many yrs ago, though we are no longer together I still love him more than he will ever know.. after 25 yrs my heart still belongs to him, I see him out now and then and my heart melts still when I see him, and I know the feeling is mutual we both know we cant be together though, when he belongs to someone else, you know who you are, I love you always........

  • @jashara1997 I have the same feelings...if we could come back...OMG.

  • Almost Paradise .....

  • this is how I feel whenever Im around a certain guy. Everytime Im near him I feel like Im in paradise and wouldnt wish to be anywere else. If only I could work up the nerve to tell him this cause I think he feels the same way but Im scared.

  • @chobeegirl95 Never hold love in. It's meant to be shared. I too had a crush on someone when I was in school but never told her. I regret it to this day.

  • and also i have to agree with the rest of you- the music in the new movie doesnt compare with the original music but i thought both movies were wonderful. *prepares to get hated on*

  • lol the guy in the new footloose looks absolutely NOTHING like edward cullen! lmao! in my opinion both movies are great.

  • @MakeupPrincess999

    It's in the playbook

  • I used to stand on my dads feet and dance with him to this song. In june im gettin hitched and this will be our father daughter dance

  • The off-key caterwauling in the chorus make this one of the worst, most sadistic songs in popular memory.

  • rebecca garcia,my dad thinks of you with this song.GP

  • Nic nie zastąpi Bacona w tym filmie, zadne remake.Tamten klimat, w nowej wersji juz tego nie ma.

  • Nothing beats the Original... I dont see why people remake such great movies... No one can replace Bacon in this movie. No one. The new guy playing Rend ((if thats his name in the new movie) looks like a Edward Collen wannabe with his shitty hair (And no i do not like twilight) All the young male actors who go into movies have there hair atleast most the same. Sorry for the small rant that just bugs me. Anyways original Footloose = best. Song is awesome.

  • @fishergrl78 you are thinking of sean's brother chris. Sean is still alive.

  • FHLOSTEN PARADISE

  • Loved Sean Penn! And, this is one of my all time favorite movies. RIP ~Sean Penn~

  • The new Footloose can never compare to the first one! Nothing can beat Bacons, Penns, Parkers and Singers performance in the first movie! I miss those days when all was fun!

  • "Ecclesiastes assures us... that there is a time for every purpose under heaven. A time to laugh... and a time to weep. A time to mourn... and there is a time to dance. And there was a time for this law, but not anymore. See, this is our time to dance. It is our way of celebrating life. It's the way it was in the beginning. It's the way it's always been. It's the way it should be now."

  • Has been one of my fav movies since I was a kid! Just watching these clips of this video.... it takes me back to a better time.

  • Fuck publicité of 3 and a half minutes :S :(

  • absolutely stunning brings so many memories from the best decade in pop music the 80s A great classic love song a moving film and a time when there were big voices and unique tallents

  • what a nice song.............

  • Kevin Bacon Brought home the bacon in the original "Footloose."

  • I like the new one to

  • EPIC!!!

  • Soundtrack de um dos melhores filmes dos anos 80!!! Saudades...

  • Actually i'm the bro with the boombox.

  • they offered Kevin Bacon a cameo in the new film.. as the deadbeat father.. what an insult. Bacon is Ren, this new guy cant compare.

  • @ToasterMan7 -WHAT? Those people doing the casting need slapped! He's Ren!You cant give him the deadbeat father part! Maybe give him the part of the boss at the mill or something......

  • Just saw the remake. I prefer the original.

  • Astounding. I love this version of the song. The remake of it just doesnt sound right

  • OH MY GOD ANN WILSON <3

  • barney brought me here just now

  • good times

    

  • FUCK I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY REDID THIS SONG AND MOVIE!!! UGH

  • This is the Original FOOTLOOSE. one of my favorite films. I can't believe they just redid this film. there is nothing like the Original.

  • @halfpint2412 -Oh man.....its horrible how they butchered this movie AND soundtrack,I know artists and actors today lack talent and creativity but this is going too far....they have to ruin a bunch of 80's classics like this one,the Karate Kid,now 21 Jump Street....get your own ideas people!!!!

  • @MrAndyg36 I know right? I really don't like when they try to remake movies. all the time they try and remake a movie I go out and buy the Original.

  • love this song... aint heard it in years... 

  • This movie is a classic that cannot be replaced.  This is a movie that I will show my children and let them see that remakes take away from the original, and that movies and songs like this will go on for decades to come, even if only on those old and outdated old blue ray and DVD.

  • @fumc522 hey can you tell me the name of the film please

  • @metanig - Name of Movie is....FOOTLOOSE!!!!!!

  • THERE SHOULD BE A LAW TO FORBID REMAKES OF CLASSIC MOVIES. I'm sorry but, w/o disrespecting the efforts made in the remake, how dare you think you can make something near as good as this cult movie? How could anyone replace Kevin Bacon's performance? This movie should've been remastered and re released. A movie with essence and talented actors, as most 80s classics. Not nowadays glitter and pretty pple who are more tabloid regulars than actors

  • @tonton6969 -GREAT IDEA!!!! Now we can have the idiots who ruined this movie,and one of my personal favorites The Karate Kid thrown in the pokey!

  • @tonton6969 lol calm down xD some movies have been remade and came out masterpieces, if no one ever though of making another batman movies dark knight woulda never came out... although currently thats the only remake that was decent =P

  • @MrProHLG The Dark knight isnt a remake, It's a sequel of a reboot of a franchise of movies based on comics well known in our pop culture. The Batman of 1989 wasnt a remake of the one from the 60's based on the tv series. Footloose, as many other classic icons, is an original story, not a franchise.

  • @tonton6969 well it depends on what you call a remake, your still taking batman from a story so technically its still a remake... you probably think differently but, to me if you take an idea(Batman) and use it in your movie as a main character your remaking a movie in your own perspective, i mean its still batman vs joker

  • I love this song.It reminds me so much.

  • Victoria Justice and Hunter Hayes, I'm sorry, but really there's no comparison...In fact, your version sucks compared to this.

    Love, the original Footloose fans ;)

  • adoroooooooooooo qst film!!!

  • what a great song...you can never find song like this now....beautiful !

  • What is the name of the beautiful actress of video ?....... thanks for your reply.

  • @MusicSpecial Lori Singer.

  • @movieluver81 No doubt, Lori Singer is really pretty here.

  • Love this song ... Not too much the film

  • Lori Singer; kind of as hottie:-)

  • This is me and my wife Kim's wedding song when we were married on August 26, 2006. The 80's were classic!

  • LIke if your here, thanks to Barney Stinson! :D

  • @A1ex0s okeee... I just stumbled upon this accidentely, but i really like HIMYM, so could u tell me what this has to do with barney??

  • 2:44 if you are the bro with the boombox

  • This was the time when music was awesome.

  • Beautiful

  • And how, pray tell is the government intefering with you. Perhaps we could all live like the Amish. Of course, they are the first to say they have a lot fires due their lanterns.

  • @maxisnextjt they have the right idea in many ways.. Progress does not always bring freedom. We are constantly robbed of the right to choose what we believe.

  • Me gusta.

  • It is used in Barney Stinson's "the Love at the first Sight - play"

    From 2:44, so you can hear the bridge

  • This song has so much meaning to me ,this was a all time favorite and when i was dating this guy back in high school this was our song somethings you just never forget brings back so many memories

  • beautiful music

  • @ElecticGuruofHotness Not at all. It's a pretty good movie, and the song's pretty good if you actually listen.

  • Paradise --Sounds Nice :)

  • i love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    

  • Yes times were simpler back then. Carefree, but most of all free, freedom, not so many rules and regulations. Im so happy to be born in the seventies. At least I lived a full life, hope my son has the opportunity to feel as carefree as I did. Sorry guys but it will never be the same again. Just know that the only thing governments can't take from us are our memories.

  • @0071lee so very true memories is something that will remain with us ,very well said !

  • @0071lee Indeed those times re-formed our conscious soul. We ran to the music with a ferverance. It redefined us a generation, gave us our voice and our hopes. We are lucky to have been a part of history that will never be repalced. Our gift to our children is love of music and a the freedom to speak up for what we believe.

  • @0071lee

    i hear ya brother very good memories!

  • @0071lee

    It's a disgrace how today's superior technology is unable to bring us better songs and music.

    Singers and musicians these days are probably required to multitask too, hence the stress level that impedes their focus.

  • @0071lee

    Or even talent.

  • @0071lee This might be the stupidest thing I've ever read on the internet, and I read a lot of stupid things on the internet. I hope the next thing the government takes from you is your son moron.

  • @GregorianChantful That is a terrible thing to say by the way. It's obvious you have no idea what it means to be a free person, and you obviously live by the rules and regulations that you are told to live by. No free will. Just a sheep, following the flock. Good for you. Very intelligent. You are Tom Sawyer number two. (if you have ever read the book), which I doubt. Ignorance is mans worst enemy. If you want to read smart things on the internet, you tube is really not the place for that.

  • @0071lee Funny that you call out my intelligence, as you posted a political comment on a video for "Almost Paradise". Additionally, genius, parenthetical clauses go before a period, not after; not to mention "mans" is not a word. I think you may have meant, "man's", or possibly "men", but it's hard to tell since you're clearly an idiot. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go eat some grass and do whatever someone tells me to do. Because I'm free.

  • @GregorianChantful My punctuation is not something I much care about when writing on you tube. Anyways, the political comment is my answer to many other comments where people express their feelings of nostalgia for the good old days where political issues didn't touch our lives as much as they do today. That's all. Sorry if you're uptight about political issues but we do have the freedom of speech, unless that's not allowed either. Nice chatting with you.

  • @0071lee hey goofball book reader leave the normal people alone and go back in your cave warren jeffs.

  • there are no words to describe the force of this song !

  • I love this song "Almost Paradise"

  • haha what a good love song. soo mushy and corny. Love it, thanks alot mom for making me grow up on 90's love songs!

  • Truely an awesome song still brings back memories when I was much younger helps to keep the heart young and burning for the love and intimacy of your wife or girl-friend. I've seen heart and Ann Wilson and her sister are unbelievable.

  • Beautiful song....

  • ha ha ha-now 28 people don't have "Love" or the "Heart" for this song

  • don't sleep on the soundtrack-actually that's hard bcuz it's bangin' all day, all night-Sara Jessica Parker looks hella old now on Sex And The City-well yeah it's over 25 years ago-great song

  • 27 people are "Almost Comatose."

  • @Tre404 Maybe they're upset the work wasn't done in top quality, I noticed it was too dark for me to recognize much of what was going on. Just becuase someone gives thumbs down doesn't mean they don't like the artwork, but perhaps it's done lousy thus betrays the artwork.

  • this song spoke to me and made me realise the real me, this song made me the person i am today, a professional dancer :)

  • 27 people aint in paradise....

  • This is mom and dads wedding song
