The 1980s are a veritable gold mine of classic movies for movie buffs. Among the movies that were released in the 1980s were ‘The Breakfast Club,’

‘Dead Poets Society,’ ‘Ghostbusters,’ ‘Dirty Dancing,’ and ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.’ A number of that decade’s films are still in high demand and are available on a few streaming services.

Many of those movies, which were first released over 40 years ago, are currently gaining new admirers and being seen by younger audiences.

The Kevin Bacon film ‘Footloose’ is one of those that appears to have seen a rebirth in popularity.

The story of the 1984 movie centers on a young man who recently moved to a tiny village where rock and roll music and dancing are forbidden.

Kevin Bacon’s character defies convention by doing things his way, shocking everyone in the little community.

But the high school in Payson, Utah, that was the subject of the movie is going to close, and the pupils will be relocating to a new facility for the upcoming academic year.

However, students launched a campaign to get Kevin Bacon to attend their prom before the ‘Footloose’ school is permanently closed.

Kevin Bacon himself joined the students at Payson High School in a video that was uploaded to YouTube. At last, their long-awaited chance arrived, and they invited Kevin to their prom.

Kevin graciously accepted their request and agreed without hesitation. As the students realized their campaign had succeeded, chaos broke out.
