Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: The opening musical sequence. It’s one of the best possibly ever. The students, and their performances especially Irene Cara. The choreography, and musical performances, as well as the songs. The overall presentation, of New York City, in 1990. The premise of following the students, through their school year, and everything that happens on the way. The matter of factness, of some of the subject matter, in the film."

Not to mention the headbands, legwarmers and stylishly torn sweatsuits. Let's get physical, y'all. "
