Hi Nick, you asked what it was like going to high school in the 80’s. This movie came out in 1978, but it takes place sometime in the 50’s. So sad for John Travolta, first his son, who looked just like him, died some years ago and then more recently his wife and costar Olivia Newton-John whom he remained close friends with both died of cancer.

OMG I would die if you watch Moulin Rouge with Nichole Kidman and Ewan Mcgregor. So glad you watched this movie, the second one was also really good. some people weren't a fan but I loved the second grease movie.

Hey Nick, you asked if this was John Travolta’s first big project. He made a few TV appearances in the early 70’s and was in a TV sitcom from 1975-1979. Before Grease, he was in a movie called Saturday Night Fever. If you think he can dance by watching this movie, you’ve got to watch him “strut” his stuff in that movie. That movie has music by The Bee Gees and is a fantastic soundtrack. Grease 2 didn’t do as well as the original, but there are some great music numbers and Frenchy comes back for the second one. I agree with Jessica that Moulin Rouge is a great movie and different than anything I had ever seen before and I had no idea that Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor could sing. Mama Mia is fun with Meryl Streep (Miranda) from The Devil Wears Prada The Sound of Music is fantastic and Singing in the Rain if you want to go back a bit. Burlesque stars Christina Aguilera and Cher. It’s not your typical musical, but Christina’s character is a singer and the bald guy from The Devil Wears Prada that you like is in that.

Childhood nostalgia! Are you thinking of Grease 2? It's definitely not the same caliber as this and is best seen as a stand-alone rather than thinking of it as a direct sequel, but I found the music and actors to be a lot of fun. About the ring. It used to be a way of asking someone to go steady and not date other people.

And now it's going on 1:30 in the morning here, but I had to see it through to the end. I was definitely way too young for Grease when it was released, but my older sister introduced me to it, LOL. (She's nearly 8 years older and is responsible for my first R-rated movie when I was a child, too. 😄) There is a popular (but likely bogus) fan theory that Sandy actually drowned in the beginning of the movie when they were at the beach (the line "I saved her life, she nearly drowned") and was in a coma dreaming. When she slipped away in the coma and died, that was when the car went into the heavens at the end. That's almost certainly not true, but it's one of the fan theories out there and is an interesting perspective. Morbid, but interesting.

Totally agree with one of the comments about John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever! His dance moves in that were absolutely amazing! And the music soundtrack from it is also amazing!

Hi🙂 I cant see the movie, the view is blocked, does anyone know why that is?

Nicola Rush

My viewing of this is blurred. Also 'You're the one that I want' isn't on Bite Size Reactions at the moment.

If you ever wanna see another “Greaser” movie I would really recomment The Outsiders (1983) (it's not a musical though). But it deals with the same “social groups” with the Preppy kids and the Greaser types. It's really quite a lovely hidden gem, and very touching. It also has an iconic cast if one is a fan of 80's stuff 😃

Claudi H

yes!!! the Outsiders is amazing! (the novel and the movie) plus, lots of big names when they were still unknown!

Claudi H

he already did on his brother's channel (white noise reacts) if I remember correctly!

Also not a musical, but a period drama around music/Mozart: Miloš Forman's "Amadeus". An excellent, excellent movie, which rightly won eight Oscars, including the one for best movie!

it's happening in the 50s (while it was made in 1970s)......people of color only performing at the dance, otherwise they are almost nowhere to be seen, definitely not dating any of the main characters. They wouldn't be able to legally marry them..... the cars, the Pepsi ad on the wall, all the references like Doris Day or Elvis .... The original musical was much more raunchy....

Fun fact, The actress who plays Rizzo is the same actress who played one of the aunts in Practical Magic.

So the Guardian Angel character is played by Frankie Avalon who was a huge teen heartthrob in the 1950s and 60s. He often appeared in movies with Annette Funicello, who is the "Annette" that the T-Birds are always talking about. Fun fact: Supposedly the actress who played Frenchie actually had a major crush (as many did at that time) on Frankie Avalon, and the reaction you see on her face as Frankie sings to her is genuine. :)
