Grease is one of the AFI’s 25 best musicals and one of the 100 Years, 100 Passions selections.
Everyone’s seen this, right?
I haven’t seen this that many times (maybe five? counting this time) but I still know all the songs. I think everyone does—but especially Summer Nights and You’re the One That I Want and We Go Together. It’s pretty mandatory.
I also haven’t seen this in years but between this and Carrie, it’s funny to see young John Travolta. He really was adorable and I think it’s easy to forget that with the current version.
Anyway. This is kind of goofy but really really fun. (Although the T-Birds are still a tougher gang than either of the ones from West Side Story. So there’s that.) And also, I still kind of want to be a Pink Lady.
Grease was a favorite when Jordan was little. Chris went out of town quite a bit back then and when he was gone Jordan and I would watch Grease. We’d do the whole pajamas, popcorn, and the movie-thing. He very seldom ever made it to the end of the movie as he almost always ended up zonked out mid-way through the movie. Lovely memories… :D
