Thank God It's Friday Opening Title Sequence & LYRICS!!

[BreezesofConey]

The best thing I love to sit and reflect on, remember, is that beautiful women all went out to the discos on the weekend. They were wearing feminine dresses, jeans and t shirts, sporty blazers and trousers, etc. They did not have to dress like whores nor act llike whores to have fun and they were still pretty. It wasn't about showing off. We danced hard, not stand around looking at each other, talking shit and trying to act cool instead of partying. So sad the times we are in, no joy of life.

[kathy11911]

I love this movie love the music more ever friday the start of the weekend YEAH

[jackiejackie44]

I hate it how people always think THEIR generation had/has it right. Give or take individuals and unusual events every generation is the same, some have more drugs some have less, but the people are COMPLETELY interchangeable.

[MoonbaseEagle]

Ahhh, back when Music, was Music!

[caldm]

In 78 I was 13 and loved this movie....As corny as it sounds we loved the disco sounds !!

[tinyninja10]

im 15 and i love this :3

[discobaby795]

Ups! I forgot to mention that this is the disco that appears in the front cover of GQ's Disco Nights.

[discobaby795]

Do you see Terri Nunn, the vocalist of Berlin, in the film? Awesome!

[antoniopr40]

waoooo que recuerdosss

[Chocklad]

There was good and bad during the disco era. I was having so much fun dancing and enjoying songs like this until I was mostly oblivious to the seedier side of it (illicit sex and drugs). All i wanted to do was have a couple of drinks and dance, dance, dance too good disco music. Nothing wrong with that!

[TrePumpkin]

R.I.P. HabTips --G5--

[poaeypark]

this is a funny movie I saw it in 1978 i was 11 years old never forgot about it my fav line is "YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS YOUR SORRY " thats what that garbage truck driver would say he was on a blind date looking for her in the bar .. & that drag queen guy in the john primping in the mirror & that chick giving that dude a quaalude & he flips out on the swing & acts like tarzan , refer quaaludes yellows

fuzz heat 70's jive turkey dyno mite ... had a jj walker doll in the 70's ...

[DaSchos]

Endlich Freitag!

[Topangaeric]

Exterior was shot at "Osko's Disco" in the 80's formerly "The Millionaires club" in the 1950s

[SexyLaHipster]

This is the real FRIDAY song. :-) Take that Recca black!

[SexyLaHipster]

[ShellysMakeupp]

[GreenChilliD]

Pow chika pow chika pow wow

[cheapcape]

[grewert7890]

Nice movie nice music

[impersonator280]

ITS 4CHAN ITS 4CHAN ITS 4CHAN

[trot2blue]

so so true! NOBODY wants to boogie anymore!!!

[mrcrymnd]

RIP Nightlife. People just don't know how to act in public anymore.

[capitolguy106]

@mrcrymnd Your last line is key. People have no class any longer. If you try to go out today, you find today's 20-somethings are all concerned about "respect" and if you look at them the "wrong way", trouble. Thankfully, my club days are done. All you hear about now are fights and shootings at clubs in all cities, even the supposedly "high end" clubs. As you said, it is because you have people, idiots, who do not know how to act. This includes people of ALL races and colors by the way.

[BreezesofConey]

@capitolguy106 How often did you see guys having to carry girls out of clubs because they were too intoxicated to walk in those days? I don't think any decent guy would have been turned on by such trashy, classless behaviour. That is all I see in the nightlife scene today. Slouchy arrogant guys with nasty bitchy women who all look alike (like cheap whores), bad mouthing, showing off, and criticizing. No dancing, not real dancing anyway.

[cheapcape]

DISCOOOOOOOO

[tigerwoods5101]

Saw it at the cinema and have the the 3 disc soundtrack on vinyl.....still play it all the time.....how can you not love Paul Jabarra!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBigpapi01]

this was also one of Jeff Goldblum

's first roles

[SKOTP69]

Magnificent!

[Lockbar]

Reminds me of 1970's porno movie music. I saw this 1978. The version I saw had a different opening squence.

[Zickcermacity]

Less of the brooding undertones of SNF. Seems more fun. But together, TGIF and SNF make a great weekend!

[darrylhaynes]

the 70s were the bomb......and just think....there were no mexicans....just black and white and yellow.....the good old days...

[jrjr143]

@darrylhaynes YES !!!!!!

[liveandmore]

Love the way Donna looks at 3:19!

[pgla]

Disco music rocks...happy, feel good lyrics, great beats, good times. Today's music (at least the crap the play REPEATEDLY on the radio) sucks.

[relaxnow]

and i wanna put on ....my my my my my boogie shoes... uh huh

[valeriojp]

I'm italian, today 57yrs old. I can only say that those years were the top for all those who wanted to have the time of their life at a disco. I also was lucky enough to get into Studio 54!!!!!!

I don't know about today, since I have stopped going to discos for years now, but whenever I listen to that wonderful music I know for sure I am priviliged to have lived every single one of those irrepeatable golden years. Thank you 70s!!!

[BlakeVII]

@valeriojp Well said. I enjoyed reading your comment.

[khaight]

I don't care what anyone says, this move really illustrated what the disco era was all about. Getting dressed up, and going to the disco. Being someone out, when you were a nobody in your real life.

I'd almost kill to be able to bring back this era and mantra back. Before the days of "seen and been seen", it was all about having fun and just having a good time.

[somestuff78]

I'm uploading the whole movie, for the good ol' days

[pllong1960]

Love this movie!

[mano8er]

I got the VHS copy of this movie. People thinks it stinks, but it's SO bad its GOOD. Like "The Fish that Saved Pittsurgh" or "Xanadu"

[perpetual61]

This Movie Launched the Career of Donna Summer. I'm still mad at all Those Haters that thought Disco was a Bad Thing. it wasn't all about the Beat it was about Dressing up and having a Good Time. Sadly this Generation knows nothing about it.

[ericdapugi]

@perpetual61 Uh...nope. When this movie came out in 1979, Donna's already a very big star/singer. I believe it was the year 1976 when she really hit it big with her song "Love to love you, Baby". She DID push disco to a fever pitch with her albums. DIsco was on the way out when TGIF was released. Though disco really didnt fade out in the 80s, it just wasnt wasnt as big as during the late 70s

[nealadams70]

@perpetual61 this movie did not launch Donna Summers career..she was already a veteran of stage/usic by 1978..matter of fact , she admits she was DISAPPOINTED in her role in this movie..she felt she was there as the "running joke " and didnt appear in movies after this

[Powerfulthreat]

@perpetual61 Amen! What happend to when you went out and had FUN and Dressed up and enjoyed your friends? And you have to admit that beat is pretty hot.

[stgoramirez]

@perpetual61 Congratulations, you became a hater yourself!! Nice touch at the end with "Sadly this generation knows nothing about it". I'm gonna quote Luis Alberto Spinetta here: "altough they force me i'm never going to say 'every past time was better time'" Live up your present, you're still alive and healthy enough to think.

[Nipisful]

@perpetual61 you are correct!this was the first movie i watched on beta was it or VSH?what ever.100%fun!

[BreezesofConey]

@perpetual61 I think ppl form their opinions based on a set of stereotypes they learn. Young ppl have no idea how difft those times were, in a good way, and that they r the unfortunate ones. Respectfully tho, Donna Summer was already well on her way by 1976 when Love to Love You came out. You're right though that there was more to disco than polyester suits and dancing like John Travolta, that is cliche. It was a mindset. It was all about getting along and having fun.

[ronhnm111]

I wish i could back to also! Kung Fu Fighting was on the radio and movies like the bad news bears and grease were playing at the drive in. I am sorry to hear that Ray Vitte died. This movie still brings all of it back me!

[bushwacka1972]

Ahhhh

The Seventies!!!!

[darkcarnivaldesign]

LOL this movie won an Oscar!!!

[jlm1973]

@darkcarnivaldesign lol for the song last dance. The movie was considered bad, but I LOVED IT! =)

I saw it when it was at the drive through....when i was a kid lol

[Azishome]

RIP, Bobby Speed.

[shutupppppppp]

He's dead??? :-((

[Azishome]

Yes. Unfortunately, Ray Vitte got into some kind of battle with the police in Los Angeles. The details aren't clear to me, but he died. He had no place to go but up in his career.

[oakleypa]

Me too, got a copy recently. Love it!!

[Heidiiiiiii7]

I love this movie .Fantastic energy !One of the best musical films

[tonkabob57]

look at girls getting on the bus around the 52 sec area its the girl who played doris on the original fame tv show and her friend is terri nunn of berlin

[tanyatmr]

I've never seen the movie but I do remember it coming out when I was in elementary school!

[PatrishaM]

oooooooooh man' a Movie I grew up watching...Loved it!! Is it availabel on DVD??.......thanks for posting!!

[hj351]

thank you for posting. There used to be a video of the segment of marv gomez, leather man, doing his dance in the parking lot. PLEASE REPOST!!!

[skipjack820]

A funny scene is when Paul Jabara gets trapped in a stairway. His song "Trapped in A Stairway" is my favorite in the movie - - too bad it didn't hit. Anyone knows if it was released as a single?

[Paycheck125]

I just heard of this and I want this as my alarm on Friday mornings.

[intromix]

It took them forever to release this on dvd, I still have a copy from vhs converted to dvd and is a true classic, EVERYTHING ELSE IS BULLSHIT!!!!!

[ShoryoTombo]

LOL That was an infamous line from the movie! EVERYTHING ELSE IS BULLSHIT!

[KenPatera78]

They didn't show the part when Jeff Goldblum looks in his rearview mirror and says "Gorgeous" I still do that! lol

[ShoryoTombo]

One of those young girls jumping in the bus after a softball game, is the lead singer for Berlin.

[intromix]

Thats right, Terri Nunn is in this, excellent music from Giorgio Moroder too "From Here To Eternity"

[esmephoebe]

Oh my god i really liked the movie it was great:-)

[hug2046]

Thank U

[minuim10]

I love this movie and the music is fantastic!! I remember going to opening night of this movie....talk about a crazy disco night!!! the good ole days!!

[chilosito]

This movie was the shit when it came out

[icky0]

I must see a clip of the Leather Man dancing in his big scene!

[iloveretro77]

need to post more parts of this great movie. Especially Gus' parts. "you bet your sweet ass your sorry, you dip" and the scene when the kid was coming driving into the disco with the vw bug.

[Americandadcrazed3]

Thank God it's Summer right now!:D

[llehcin]

"you bet your sweet ass your sorry" - the best line in this movie.

[sheeba11]

My favorite movie! I love the 70s!!!!!

[cajotreto]

DISCO AGE come back pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

[lipidgreen]

ya! jeff goldblume, and that girl from urban cowboy plays in this

[Juliaflo]

That girl from Urban Cowboy is Mary Debra Winger, but you all know her by her middle name.

[Juliaflo]

Pop quiz--do some searching if you recognize one of the stars of this move.

(No looking at the opening credits--that's cheating, LOL).,

[dinmc808]

You know, this film has gotta have one ofthe worst acting and scripts I've ever witnessed. But I wish I could get a copy - I just love the songs. they just evoke a period of fun and free living. But I also want to see Donna Summer's finale of the film again as I thought that was triumphant.

[AnthonyUK]

hey it's in stereo! When I saw this on Channel4 in the UK it was mono! And they said it was broadcast in NICAM Stereo and denoted this with an N. :-(

[hurtowich]

who made this song? So lovely, heard it on a radio show but don't remember its name.

[dinofor3]

The group "Love and Kisses" did this song.

[bigbrownmongo]

i love this movie. i wonder if you have "the leatherman" song in your library. i couldn't find it

[JoshGellis]

It's so cute how the Dental Assistant / Dentist does a short drawing breath of seditive gas.

[fanofprotopic]

as long as I'm not the first patient she works on afterwards....then it wouldn't be cute

[maggietorro]

Summer of '78...

Great Memories!

[debfan74]

so did they put this on dvd yet?

[TheRealMooke]

Terri Nunn is hot in that flick. (Pre-Berlin)

[oldskoolia]

does anyone know if there is the full movie of this on youtube anywhere??

[fzkny]

You can get it on amazon.

[curtiscrush]

Thank u.

[curtiscrush]

I have never seen this movie. I do miss disco .

[fzkny]

You can get it on amazon.

[debfan74]

this movie is AWESOME I would watch this when HBO would run it on the weekends

[tyedyeblue1]

I love this movie it takes you back to a different time not like today back then things were so laid back and care free.

[maggietorro]

Hey, put a smile on your face

Things are coming your way

Out there somewhere tonight

[MasterPervy123]

I love this movie . Wish Disco would comeback I so hate the nightlife today.

[virginharry]

U are sooooooooo freakin right !

[familyguyisforretard]

I used to go disco dancing with my sister. I would grab that booty and dance all night long. My sister and i were real close if you know what i mean. wink wink

[prjr1973]

Night life today SUCKS! and i'm only 35! Those where the good old days! I wish i had lived them!!!!

[Elodea]

@prjr1973 I was "part" of that generation. Even went to Studio 54 once in it's "Hey Day". Trust me, you didn't miss a thing! (Although the sex was great with no worries about AIDS or any of that stuff.)

[MsCargento]

@prjr1973 they were the best.....really, nite life sucks now as i know it...

[GhostAvenger620]

@prjr1973

I'm 37, and I agree! The music back then was the best, what is this whining crap on the raadio nowadays?

[replicklick]

@prjr1973 u're old, but todays club scene definitely cannot compare, mostly becuz the music sucks, people are trying to be disco but have no true understanding of what disco really embodies

[looker768]

@prjr1973 I'm only 28 and I have a feeling night life then was just about having a damn good time and not about looking like a Jersey Shore model....

[rhymeandreasoning]

wait a sec..is that diana ross at :54, singing the line 'is the right time and place'???

[sisakun]

WIII!!! AL DESMADRE!!!

[75andalive]

I love this movie,reminds me of childhood,my family was really into it,everyone was wild over Donna Summer being in it,Whom I will love 4 LIFE !!!Boogie on Space Beings !

[pinkybrooklyn]

Yes !! that's Terri Nunn from Berlin! she is soo funny in this movie.. lols:)movie was great:)

[alilinzee]

And the one on the left is the wonderful Valerie Landsburg...aka Doris from "Fame"...my hero when I was 8!... xx This looks like such a groovy film...must find it on DVD!

[Droopy777]

When the 2 girls first enter the bus, the one on the right of the screen is Terri Nunn the future lead singer for the music group Berlin.

[DiscoMania]

A VERY entertaining movie!  A wonderful mix of interesting characters, a thumping disco soundtrack, and Donna Summer! Now available on DVD.

[springloadedchicken]

time lost... a moment frozen.  damned was it that long ago?

[heyalfonso]

Thanks for sharing! I was too young to go see this movie at the theatre and have yet to see it. Had Donna Summer "Last Dance" song from the movie on a mixed tape!

[fzkny]

Watch Donna appear at 3:03. SO CUTE!

[fzkny]

Loved it. Thanks for sharing!
