Bar none my favorite movie ever produced!

Rating: 10/10 (25 October 2006)

This has been my favorite movie since I was ten years old, and without revealing my age, let's just say that is quite a long time. To this day it is my favorite movie of all time. My best friend and I paid to see this movie 37 times the first year it was out. We used to act out scenes when we played. It gave me a love of musicals that has only grown over time. It made me a lifetime fan of John Travolta (I had seen him before I was a big "Welcome Back Kotter" fan). Same goes for Olivia Newton-John and Stockard Chaning to a lesser degree.
There was something about this movie that touched me to the core back then. It is fun, wholesome entertainment. Almost everyone loves a good love story but this one provided fun, great music, and John Travolta in a killer leather jacket.
Now, in my family, it is a tradition. We have passed it down to our children and they have become fans. I have a picture of my godson dancing with John Travolta to "Greased Lightning." It's the cutest thing you will ever see. I believe that they will pass it down to their children. That says a lot about a movie that at the time was almost across the board panned by critics.
