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.



Oh come on...'Saturday Night Fever' is the ultimate disco movie lol

Yes,it is a depressing film (it was considered an "urban tragedy"),but John Travolta is excellent in it.He really should have won an Oscar for his performance.It's a riveting film.

as for Tony's friend that jumps off the bridge.....wasn't he really a homosexual? They never mention this in the movie,but that's what it seems like to me.It almost seems as if he had a "crush" on Tony.He was going through alot of drama,that's for sure.

Go 'head and shoot me, because I don't think Saturday Night Fever is even a good movie. lol There are some classics that bore me (2001 also comes to mind) no matter how many tries I give them.

Yeah, oddly enough, I did. I saw it when it first came out with some little girls I went to grade school with. I've seen it a few times since. The impact is gone for me with this flick ever since I got older. Never really dug the 50's vibe. Shit like "Happy Days" and "Sha Na Na" I detested when I was little. And Grease is on that vibe. Although I love the fact that they filmed it at Venice High and I adore the title track.

Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls is a masterpiece! I've had that for years. Ran a thread on here a long ass time ago about the band "The Carrie Nation"!

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?

typing

"Fish" is also a great "feel good" movie. Yes. But why in the hell are The Slyvers in it?
