Description Imitation is considered the highest form of flattery. No film has ever been copied, parodied and referenced in popular culture quite as much as the 1983 classic, Flashdance. Whether it's the 'chair' scene in Mawby's bar or the 'audition' scene that clinches the young star's place in the academy, Flashdance has inspired a long list of pretenders and fashion trends since its release. The first collaboration between Don Simpson and Jerry Bruckheimer, who went on to produce Top Gun and Beverley Hills Cop, Flashdance was their first success story of many.
