The problem with starting a good book at lunch is that then you have to stop reading it when lunch is over.

I totally agree, there should be a limit. It's only fair to the rest of the romantically challenged people out there.

And Reality Bites still has its moments, Janeane Garafalo is in it! But it, like Singles, is definitely a product of its times.

I have never seen Footloose.

What a shame! Not seeing Footloose that is (though being romantically challenged is also a bummer). I can't imagine that it would be very good without nostalgia to draw you in.. you can get a good idea of what it is by knowing that the songs from it were done in a musical montage with songs from Saturday Night Fever, Fame, Dirty Dancing and Flashdance.

Do you think that there is a LJ conservation law going on here? The shorter the post, the more comments it generates?

Did I say I was romantically challenged? I hope not! (Though I'm running short on my OTL quota for the year.) I meant the OTHER romantically challenged people.

I've also not seen SNF or Fame. You do realize all these movies have a dancing theme.

You only implied romantic challenges, and I'm pleased to hear that you are not impeded by such ;)

I did notice the dancing connection, which I think is part of the reason that they did them as a musical review, but there is also a certain theme of teenage angst, passionate OTL and wonderfully cheesy 80s music (not sure about SNF, since I haven't seen that one, myself). Many of the same things that I liked about Reality Bites, actually. I think I'm beginning to see why my brain decided to go down this route..

It has been hypothesized, yes indeed.
