Grease
Three features: 'Grease' is a film adaptation of the zippy smash hit translation from the Broadway musical tribute to the fabulous 1950s. As a new school year begins, wholesome Australian exchange student Sandy (pop star Olivia Newton-John) and duck-tailed, leather-jacketed Danny (John Travolta) parlay their summertime romance into an on-and-off attraction that may or may not cross clique lines. Sandy seriously cramps Danny's style, so he dumps her. In response, Sandy begins dating a wholesome athlete, but, as a hedge, she also joins the gum-chewin', tough-talkin' clique known as the Pink Ladies. One of the most beloved musicals of all time, the popular soundtrack includes 'You're the One that I Want,' 'Hopelessly Devoted to You,' 'Sandy,' 'Summer Nights,' and the title tune. Also features 'Saturday Night Fever' and 'Staying Alive'.

Fresh from Saturday Night Fever, John Travolta was the biggest movie star in the world when he teamed with Olivia Newton-John to help turn one of Broadway's biggest ever hits into one of Hollywood's most successful musicals. This film sets itself the peculiar task of trying to evoke nostalgia for a time before most of its audience would have been born — 1950s America — where Rydell High School is the setting for a rather slender tale of teenage love and pre-Vietnam War innocence. Stranger still, it succeeds in the task, thanks to some toe-tapping numbers, sprightly hoofing and slick performances, not least by Stockard Channing as the most unruly teenager in town.

Amiable 'period' musical for teenagers: a highly fashionable exploitation of the new star John Travolta, its commercialism was undeniable, and it carefully built in appeal to older age groups.

Absolute Classic
Supremely entertaining musical packed with great performances and great songs. Even if you are not a fan of musicals you should give this a go - it's probably the best one ever made. P.s. the reviewer on the bottom of this page is clearly a repressed homosexual!!!

Great old movie
This is a really good film, fairly good for all the family. I liked it when I watched it 25 years ago and enjoyed it just as much watching again.
Many good songs and a good story. -
