if it's a thriller, then it must be just ass-tastic.

Since Rock & Roll Highschool has been mentioned

You know, I've hardly seen any of these movies (with the exception of Rock n Roll H.S. and Can't Stop the Music). I'll have to make a whole week of it.

minneapolisgenius said:

Make that a few weeks ... eh ... a month ... eh ...

CinisterCee said:

oh LAWD. i almost forgot about that movie!

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

The body Travolta forgot about it, too.

RipHer2Shreds said:

if i were him i'd have forgotten about it as well. an '80s-fried sequel of saturday night fever? come ooooon....

This isn't quite a disco film, but it was released during the same era:



One of Patrick Swayze's first films:



And who could forget this classic:



After seeing "Xanadu," "Can't Stop The Music" and the Sgt. Pepper's movie up here, why does "Glitter" suddenly look like a Martin Scorscese-directed film in comaprison?

100MPH said:

Oh, I've seen Carwash.

And I know every line of Rocky Horror by heart still. I've only seen parts of Tommy though.

RipHer2Shreds said:

The choreography in this is HILARIOUS! I have to watch this again soon.

Great thread. Sadly, I must admit that not only have I seen every single one of these movies mentioned, multiple times, BUT I own 99% of them. My fave disco movies are;

Thank God It's Friday
Roller Boogie
Xanadu

Saturday Night Fever I can't list as a fave cuz the story is depressing as hell. Short motherfuckers jumping off of bridges and shit. If I had to wear shoes with thick ass heels like homeboy was pushing, I might jump too. But of course, the music to SNF was amazing.

100MPH said:

Two of my ALL-Time Favorite movies.... EVER.

minneapolisgenius said:

K, if you can stomach Stayin' Alive, you now MUST SEE Xanadu.

I love "Xanadu" I've been watching it alot lately.Yes,it is extremely cheesy and it's missing a plot,but the musical sequences are fun and hypnotic.It's a fantasy/musical and if you don't take it all too seriously,you can really enjoy it.The songs are excellent (especially "Magic","Suddenly" and "All Over The World") and Olivia Newton-John is always delightful to watch It's a shame that this movie was disliked by so many people.

"Can't Stop The Music",on the other hand,is dreadful.Probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen This film has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.The songs are horrible,the Village People aren't interesting enough to star in a movie,and the "plot" is paper-thin.Unlike "Xanadu",the musical sequences are boring and flat.It's a pointless movie that never should have been made.Oddly,it was released in 1980,long after the Village People's 15 minutes were up.


Some interesting trivia: in 1979,Olivia Newton John was reading scripts,looking for a film to follow-up her successful role in "Grease".She was offered the female starring role in "Can't Stop The Music"! She considered it,but decided not to do it.The role went to Valerie Perrine instead,and Olivia chose "Xanadu".

Several months ago,I bought the DVD,but I'll probably never watch it ever again that movie is horrible!

minneapolisgenius said:

"Xanadu" is alot of fun.Trust me on this! You will like it

it's a masterpiece compared to "Can't Stop The Music"

100MPH said:

I got the DVD this has always been one of my favorites.It gives you a good idea of how much fun the disco era was.

100MPH said:

I just got this DVD yesterday!! From the Columbia House DVD club.I'm in no hurry to watch it though it's really,really terrible,although there are a few good musical scenes (Earth Wind & Fire "Got To Get You Into My Life").

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Never seen that movie or even heard of it,but now I'm curious
