Flashdance (1983) was a crowd-pleasing melodrama with trendy dancing and high octane rock songs. Dismissed by critics, it went on to be the 3rd-highest-grossing film of the year.
Although she has talent, and a kindly elderly mentor, the protagonist Alex doesn't have the courage to apply to the upscale dance school. She works as an exotic dancer by night, and as a welder by day.
Despite its manifold flaws, for which critics (like Ebert) were merciless, the movie struck an egalitarian chord with its feel-good "go for your dreams" message.
