You know I actually heard of this movie in a documentary entitled 'the 50 worst movies ever made' and this was one of those movies then I discovered a font that was named after the movie and I streamed it on Netflix, the result I liked it alot actually, I'm 19 btw
The sign of a good movie is that you can sum it up in a single sentence without truly spoiling it.
The Godfather: The goodie-two-shoes son of a crime family gets into the family business.
Citizen Kane: The press uncovers the tragic and mysterious life of a media mogul.
Xanadu: Uhh... It's about this girl who's all mysterious, and she falls in love with an artist, and Gene Kelly's in there, and there's a roller disco... and... uh...?
Xanadu fails this test so horribly, it becomes funny.
Xanadu came out in 1980,hard to believe it will be 30 years since its theatrical release this August.Olivia Newton John is still sexy...even at 61 she is still stunning.I Love You Olivia!!!
everyone rips this movie, but I loved it when it came out, and I still think its so over the top as to be magical, I think its one of the most misunderstood masterpieces of grand extravagance and oppulence, suger sweet like cotton candy, a future classic piece of pop culture, perhaps better appreciated by future audiences.
What makes Xanadu endure? Is it the charming innocence of the 80's? Is it the excitement of hearing the band The Tubes? Is it the soulful singing of Ms. Newton-John? Perhaps its the dazzling images and (for their time) amazing special effects? No. At the end of the day... the reason Xanadu it so enduring is one man... and his band. The man is Jeff Lynne. The band is ELO.
I remember going to the free showing of "The Warriors" in Coney Island, Brooklyn 2 years ago, and this trailer was shown...everybody cheered when Michael Beck's name was announced, that was neat
Love the memories. Love Olivia !

@FuckWorkdays The song is "Dancin' " by the Tubes...and Michael Beck was not the singer, though he does sing in the movie.
