She must love you lots.

I tried waching it several times on TV but I have a problem with this embarrassment I feel with shabby, grotty, stingy films. I really feel so bad I have to stop watching after 10 minutes or so.
I haven't been able to sit through Xanadu either, for example (won't mention any Prince movies )
Just to think of it and I'm all

Thanks for the reminder though

ok it sucks.. but back in the days I thought it was awesome!

It's mainly a visual thing. I DO have and enjoy the soundtracks to those...erm...films

PANDURITO said:

'TGIF' is a cheesy movie,no doubt,and some of the "humor" just doesn't work,but if you love that era,this film is a must-see.It perfectly captures the fun and excitement of the carefree disco days,when going out to a nightcliub was the national pastime.It's a lighthearted look at the whole disco era.It's not as compelling as 'Saturday Night Fever',but I can't wait to see it again.

PANDURITO said:

the "visuals" delivered by Olivia or Donna are pretty fine with me

PANDURITO said:

'TGIF' is a masterpiece compared to the other disco-themed movies of the era.Remember these brilliant,classic,Oscar-worthy movies? LOL




and let's not even mention "Skatetown USA"

PANDURITO said:

I`ll probably buy it too, eventually
I know Donna Summer performed "Last dance" in it, but is that all we see of her?

Icicle said:

No,she actually appears in several other scenes too.She plays a struggling singer named Nicole Sims.She goes to the disco,trying to persuade the DJ to let her perform.We see her making several hilarious attempts to get into the DJ booth.At one point,she gets pissed when he refers to her as an "amateur"...

Listen Mr.Big Shot DJ....I ain't no amateur!! I paid my dues!

i'm pretty sure i used to own this album...i remember staring at the pictures on the sleeve when i was a little kid...

YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND????

He went on to do movies,TV and even voices for animation.His real name is Chick Vennera,but in many of his projects,he is often credited as "Francis Vennera".In the 80s,I saw him on an episode of "The Golden Girls".

wasn't it a gatefold sleeve with pics from the movie on the inside?

Anx said:

It didn't have a gatefold.It's actually a 3-LP set...two full albums and a one-sided bonus 12" single (Donna's "Je Taime (Moi Non Plus)".Each record has a lavish sleeve with color pics from the movie.

DavidEye said:

there must have been a couple versions cause my aunt's copy had the gatefold...

As much as I love disco, I must admit that was a horrible movie. I still would like to have the DVD though.

sosgemini said:

i dont remember TGIF having a Gatefold. Saturday night fever did.... but not TGIF

IAintTheOne said:

yeah, it was cut around the dj booth and some of the people dancing in a way that nobody was cut in half...

sosgemini said:

i remember that. i remember there were a bunch of stills from the movie, including one of some blonde chick with glitter all over her face.

That movie is so bad it's good! I'm getting my copy! Donna Summer? Goddess.

I've never seen that one but it looks horrible just from the picture on the box. Look at the pose on that guy. He looks like a damn ballerina.
