About to watch Flashdance for first time in 30+ years 🥺😱

Omg forgot Joe Eszterhas was screenwriter...🙄💩

I graduated HS in 1985 and this pos movie made us all shred our T-shirt’s

Forfeit how much bike culture and pit bull reformation was centered in this movie.

.@jenniferbeals is amazing. Her body double (who did a few key solos) is amazing. The wigs are...not so amazing

Here is the body double btw

Like all we remember is the shredded sweatshirts but rewatching so much of the styling was key, whether copying or innovating .

God bless Marine Jahan for demanding (I presume) her own scene

As someone who skated as a kid, that storyline kills me. 😢😢😢

When she (pre bra trick) has to explain to somebody in Pittsburgh where/what Altoona is

Zomg I’d forgotten about the lobster scene.

Deserving bike-friendly good dancer’s rich boyfriend buys her ballet addition 🥺🥺🥺🤯
