Xanadu... Was, and remains, one of those films which touches something in certain people. It combines a unique blend of nostalgia (for the relatively innocent, optimistic world of the '40s, as well, now as for the '80s) and the sort of romance not seen for decades before it was made. Nostalgia depends on how an individual perceives a given period, and some folks can't stomach romance. Xanadu either inspires joy or disdain, depending on the viewer...
@Raycheetah ...What a shame Xanadu didn't receive as broad an opening as it deserved. At least we still got to see it, and the Broadway show proves that it still has legs, "wrapped in rags," or not. =^[.]^=
