All Time Favorite
This is probably my all time favorite movie. I know all the words and songs by heart. I even have gotten my kids hooked.
Double, triple, quadruple-dip, anyone???
C'mon, Paramount. No one loves Grease more than us hopelessly devoted fans. But if you are going to roll out yet another attempt to repackage our beloved classic, make it worth rolling out the bucks. How about this: offer a re-release with the (!!!!!!!) ORIGINAL THEATRICAL AUDIO TRACK as an option. We love the remastered print, etc. But some of us really long for the original track, especially because some of the classic songs were over-remixed in the 1998 re-release. The biggest disappointment is not being able to hear the movie the way many of us first experienced it in 1978. (No disrespect to composer John Farrar, but) I miss watching "Hopelessly Devoted to You" without the unnecessary - and sometimes distractingly over-mixed - backing vocals, ... Read More
Once loved-Twice hated
I HATE this film, when I once loved it. Growing up has made me realize a LOT of good things about maturity, and one of them is the fact that this really is a bad movie. The acting is mediocre, if not bad, and the story is crap! I would say that is high school, there is a LOT to fret over, but not a boyfriend-girlfriend thing! Leave that to an obnoxious John Hughes film! Some of the music really is intellegently written, and the singing isn't too bad either, the I just have to say, that it does not deliver anymore. I would like to say I am a big fan, as I was ten years ago, but watching it recently, I realized that this movie was utter crap, and I cringe at it. Especially John Travolta, more like John Revolta!-or just plain revolting! My parents were ... Read More
Heavy on the Grease
Grease will always hold a special place in my heart, it is part of my childhood and holds many nostalgic memories for me. Saw the movie when I was 8, was given the soundtrack on vinyl (as well as Saturday Nite Fever) for christmas. Played it on my ladybug turntable, and sang along to every song with my friends, 1978. The only way to truely watch Grease is on "full screen". U just can't enjoy it any other way. I bought it on widescreen and was totally horrified. It just doesn't have that same effect. I later purchased the full screen edition, and again I was in Grease heaven. Grease is one of the best movies of all time. Olivia Newton John and John Travolta are fantastic. This is John Travolta's best movie to date, I don't care what anybody ... Read More
