Flashdance

Flashdance is a 1983 romantic drama film directed by Adrian Lyne and starring Jennifer Beals and Michael Nouri. It was the first collaboration of producers Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, and the presentation of some sequences in the style of music videos was an influence on other 1980s films including Footloose and Top Gun, Simpson and Bruckheimer's most famous production.

Flashdance opened to negative reviews by professional critics, but was a surprise box office success, becoming the third highest-grossing film of 1983 in the United States. It had a worldwide box-office gross of more than $200 million. Its soundtrack spawned several hit songs, including "Maniac" (performed by Michael Sembello), and the Academy Award-winning "Flashdance... What a Feeling" (performed by Irene Cara), which was written for the film.
