There are not many movies I can see again and again.
But the three weird one that stick are, in no particular order; The Nightmare before Christmas Amadeus Ever After (with Drew Barrymore) |

It will just concentrate on her missing bf, I am sure. |

"Suddenly" is my favorite song on the soundtrack. It's just such a lovely song. 
I saw Olivia perform "Xanadu" live at the Hans Christian Andersen birthday celebration at Parken in Copenhagen just a year ago.
And I was standing with the press photographers when she walked up the red carpet. She looked lovely.   FREE THE 29 MAY 1993 COME CONFIGURATION!

this must change! Abso-bloody-lutely! Carrie, I'm warning you girly - if you haven't seen this movie in one month with Darrin at your side and reported it on here, I'm taking away your honorary gay card 
By the way, did you guys know that the beautiful Pan Pacific building that was featured in the film sadly burnt down and has only in recent years been renovated? Sadly, the unique quad-pole facade is no longer there - but one piece remains, as a reminder of what a beautiful piece of architecture it was 
The Pan Pacific Building in 1981: 
The Pan Pacific fire: 
The Pan Pacific Building - post renovation, 2002: 
Anyway, I love this movie to death, always have done, always will do - the soundtracks great too, and since last October it now holds even dearer and more precious, personal relevance to me than ever before. 
Be sure to check out this page for some great fan remixes of Xanadu tracks: http://www.randakk.com/elo.htm I'm a Xanadude! | |

No, it is so bad it's good! It's the cheese, mixed with all the groovy tunes (hey, the music IS good!) that makes it such a cult classic. It falls into a category with Phantom of the Paradise and The Rocky Horror Picture Show for oddly watchable, weirdo flicks with great soundtracks!

Especially to a 2nd grader! I'm sorry, but that is too precious...! ....although, I think I was in 5th or 6th grade when Xanadu hit...we got the whole elementary school hooked on the soundtrack because we used to have talent show warm-up/rehearsals on the school bus during the 1 hr. drive home! It was SOOOOO much fun ! | |
