I am an 82 year old guy and this collection is like a collage of memories all the way from my childhood thru my 50 year marriage to my loving wife. What a great job you did.

[masonpunch]

I am 73, male. I grew up seeing all these movies. I almost teared up watching this. Fantastic job. The timing was impeccable. So good it made me forget the original music. I'm going to use this list to either buy or find these movies to watch in their entirety. What memories.

[joesmith]

If there is ever a Hall of Fame for editing, this has to the first inductee.

[paulmartino]

I’m a 74 year old Vietnam Veteran and I lay awake EVERY night till about 2.30am listening to this music when music was music and I’m sure it keeps me alive and most cool 👍

[PatsyBahrns]

This is amazing how someone could go through all of those different movies from many different movies and find dances to the rhythm of Footloose. That was just FANTASTIC!! My hats off to the person that put this together.👍👏

[d.t.]

This is how you honor a song, while at the same time honoring the movies that encapsulated an era. 😎👍🏾

[lindamarsh]

I’m 71 and remember almost every one on those movies. Life is short. Enjoy it while you can! Thanks for sharing!

[bettierusso]

I cannot believe nearly 99% of these wonderful dancers are tapping it out in heaven! What fantastic memories these bring. At 66 yrs old, I can remember most of these movies. Just think...the new generation should watch and respect their elders to be sure..don't they wish they could be as cool as their Grandparents & Great Grandparents were???!! Next time they knock the "Boomers"...just watch this and realize these people looked better than them, danced better than they ever could begin and they are the "Boomers" Grandparents here!!! GREAT VIDEO Thanks

[gunnergoz]

Another 73 year old bundle of memories reporting in to say, "What a great way to celebrate the scenes that brought so much joy, excitement & laughter to our lives."

[BBakerStreet]

I truly never get sick of watching this. I grew up watching all of these great MGM musicals and to see these amazingly talented people get a modern make over is just a joy.

[rustysmith]

This was a blast! God I love those old movies, they could really hoof it in those days. Now I need to watch alot of these movies again.

[ThegruntUSMC]

The amount of fabulous dancing talent back in the day. Unbelievable. Hollywood could not make a movie today such as then. And back it was done with ease!

[casey.d.c]

Whoever put this together appreciates the older film's like I do. Incredible job!!!

[suzannevansickle]

I need moments like this. Puts a smile on my face and God knows we need more smiles.

[lawrencegorden]

I am 61 years old and my mother, bless her heart introduced me to these dancers. My favorite always has been and always will be Rita Hayworth. Wow.❤️❤️

[williamainsworth]

The song is an absolute joy to listen to, and the video montage is a visual masterpiece. Even the most jaded among us would HAVE to feel something deep down watching this.

[vickiemeisinger]

This is one of the better collections I have seen of decades of styles of dancers and actors dancing to a classic song and I want to send this to my granddaughters who are only 87 and nine years old and just have been taking dance lessons for a couple years but I want them to appreciate what dancing can represent. These people are so talented in this video and many of them are not even alive today but the spirit of their dancing and their musicality will always be with us!! Thank you for putting this video together!!!! I only wished I could still dance because I used to love to dance♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[kathleen]

The greatest achievement of these dancers is definitely smiling while doing the most grueling of dances so beautifully. Hats off to all of them! Hats off to you for creating this.

[josephdillon]

How can anyone feel low when you watch people like this....I feel really good after watching this stuff, don't you?
