My Fave: Flashdance
Who can forget this 1983 movie about Alex, a young girl who works as a welder by day and an exotic dancer by night. Her true dream is to study at a prestigious ballet school in town and become a ballerina. She falls in love with her boss and vice versa. The movie reminds me in someways of the older Harlequin Romance stories — young, poor girl, meets older, rich man. They end up falling in L-O-V-E. When I was younger, I loved reading Harlequins and still have my favorites.
Some sexy parts of Flashdance:
1- When Nick (the boss) comes over to her apartment and Alex removes her bra (while watching T.V.) without removing her top. Nick’s mesmerized. Speechless.
2- Having dinner with Nick, Alex’s eating her lobster. She removes her jacket and is wearing a halter-type shirt with bowtie. He likes what he sees.
Favorite line occurs when Nick the boss first sees Alex dancing, he’s mesmerized and his friend Pete says, "Number 174631503."
Nick: "Pete, I don’t want her zip code."
Pete: "It’s her Social Security number. She works for you."
The soundtrack is still fun to listen to; the dances are still fun to watch.
Oh, and I liked Alex’s dog, a cute light brown haired pit bull named Grunt.
The scene where Alex auditions for the ballet school is also a favorite. I used to dance and had a pair of leg warmers like Alex.
Oh, what a feeling!

Hi Paz,
I am with you about LOVING this movie. I used to have the off the shoulder shirts and would dance to the soundtrack.
The soundtrack is now on my ipod. The group Deep Dish just did a mix of a song from the movie. Here is the link (www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwCxL4AFqkc)
Her boss Nick played by Michael Nouri was my 1st interracial crush! Wow this post brought back good memories. Thanks!
