Footloose (1984)

Trivia: While filming an episode of 3rd Rock from the Sun, a guest actor playing a carnival strongman told John Lithgow that, growing up in a small town, his father was similar to Reverend Moore. The man took his father to see Footloose without telling him what it was about, and his father was so moved by Lithgow's performance that he permitted his son to be the first of his six children to attend his high school prom.
