This is the greatest musical film of all-time.

Rating: 10/10 (29 April 2020)

"Grease" (1978), this is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best musical of all-time. You're probably thinking: "what?" Let me explain, yes, two of my top ten favorite films of all-time are musicals. "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" (1968) and "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut" (1999) are also considered musicals. But, those two movies are so much more than musicals, and I certainly love both of them in that aspect. However, from strictly a musical standpoint, "Grease" is the best in that aspect. My favorite genre of music is rock and roll, and most of the musical numbers in "Grease" are rock and roll songs. Aside from that, "Grease" also has a perfect story, perfect acting, perfect sets/locations, perfect special effects, and of course a perfect soundtrack to tie it together. The story just seems like your traditional high school love story, but again, it's a lot more than that. It's presented in such a unique and creative way, where it has managed to revolutionize the high school film and musical genre. It is based off a play, but this movie is a rare exception where the movie is better than the play itself. All of the acting is phenomenal, from all of the actors and actresses! But, the two shining stars are John Travolta as Danny, and Olivia Newton John as Sandy. These two have such an electrifying (FORGIVE THE PUN, AS THE WORD "ELECTRIFYING" IS SUNG IN THE SECOND TO LAST SONG), chemistry between them. The performances from the rest of the actors and actresses are nothing short of perfect. This is one of the top ten best casts I've ever seen in a movie, they practically live and breathe their respectable characters. The sets/locations are fantastic and give the movie just the right atmosphere. All of the special effects are very well done, and still hold up to this day. Finally, the soundtrack perfectly composed. It's one of my top ten favorite film soundtracks of all-time! All of the songs work, and help to tie the movie together. "Grease" is a cinematic marvel, I can watch this movie over and over again and never get tired of it. Of course, I give this movie 5 out of 5 stars on my scale, which equates to 10 out of 10 IMDB stars. If you haven't seen "Grease" yet, go see it. If you've seen it before, watch it again. What are you waiting for? Yes, this movie is that good. "Grease" is definitely the word!
