The Boy in the Plastic Bubble- John Travolta

[simwrangler]

I was really young when I first saw this movie.

That's Paul Williams singing this song. He played Little Enos in the Smokie and The Bandit movies

[BigWhiteTurkey]

Confabulation...sad. Actually, a lot fiction. But, David Vetter helped with the understanding of immune difficiencies - a long way forward, and a long way to go!

[MARC81ize]

Thank you, to have spread(broadcasted) this John Travolta's title, what here in France very few people know this song, and the movie was not spread(broadcasted) since 1977. Thank you still

[NbrLine]

Back when we would look forward to the movie of the week on the networks. This one was very good. This was one you remembered...very moving indeed.

[gl797]

Even though the still pics make this movie look a bit ridiculous, this is a great movie, very moving.

[gl797]

Virgil from "Battle for the Planet of the Apes" is singing this...otherwise known as Paul Williams.

[killerkombokalamari]

he looks like Glenn Danzig in his early years

[missyah101]

[rachisthebest0405]

@milokilo1980 a bit like your cunty comment then eh

[waterfordjim]

@milokilo1980 Agreed. this is Liberace Gay. However, it is a great video to masturbate to. Or kill yourself to. :-)

[CrimsonEclipse]

When I first saw this movie I was so in love with it. It's so much better than the remark Bubble Boy. The remake was so stupid.

[gracie080390]

[mercedes491]

[mercedes491]

[qtips3]

gina rocks

[kappuXkeikiiXkeiko]

awe i thought this was the coolest movie when we watched this in class. 14 and future genetic biologist. i still think the story line with the girl and the boy was a tear jerker. (cried in class)

[qtips3]

gina i love you

[qtips3]

she was the right girl 4 this movie

[qtips3]

@qtips3  you are so right

[winterify]

he is SOOOOOOOOOOO cute

[woojaffa]

He is actually the most adorable character in this film, with such a big heart. I did shed a little tear at the end of the film

[qtips3]

@woojaffa i agree

[cuadia1]

Beautifullll!!!!!

[freedomvenezuela]

THX

[lezzy8u]

OMG, my eyes actually teared up watching this video. Great movie!

[qtips3]

@lezzy8u  wow you are so right

[Treaty4]

John's eyes are so beautiful, and they look like they can see inside of a person when he stares. The movie is really good. I bought it some time ago.

[rbocanegra62]

wow, what a totally different person John Travolta was before he joined scientology.

[woojaffa]

@rbocanegra62 he was already a scientologist, he had turned to scientology in 1975 and this was made a year later.. but yeah I wish he wasn't one

[Ericzeppe]

@rbocanegra62 i think he´s always been pretty normal. Tom is the crazy ass monkey

[jsinc909]

Ahh.....brings back memories......being in grade 8 at Beverly Heights Junior High School 1976/77.

[NotTooObvious]

when shorts were short

[NotTooObvious]

this was popular when i was a kid. thanks for posting it!

[turnercm100]

i saw a little clip of this movie on Superstar and couldn't stop thinking about it, so i had to rent it at blockbuster. GREAT MOVIE

[DingitDuck]

Great video! I wish I could find the script for this movie. I have it on DVD

[Elianatravolta]

amo este video y tmb a john travolta no esta guapisimo bueno me facina el video la musica como se ve todo i loveee

[BlackHeartedPoet]

its an awesome movie. i hired it out and watched it like three times over... john travolta is totally cute and the storyline is great. i like the song too.

[myrnaturner]

How did this movie end up in the public domain?

[CatpurrRobertaBobbi]

I just figured out a Huggies? Facial Wipe commercial where a mother kept her baby in a bubble so I thought of this film. I forgot this was a Travolta post Kotter film. I hated this film almost as bad as LOve Story!

[shagnastly2]

you know the part where he's in the room and the other guy's in the other room, they were suppose to be germ-proof. then the other guy is squalling like a baby on the bed and you can see black dirt all on the bottom of his feet, so much for being germ-proof

[Maybelle22]

John, Kelly, and Emma... So sorry about Jett. May God comfort you and eventually give you some peace. There can be no greater loss than that of a child.

[am2boni]

I was thinking about Jett, while I'm hearing this song. I wonder what Jett felt, while watching his dad on the screen and hearing this song. John truely loved his son!

[dmb1977b]

god bless the travolta family

[FireitupBedford]

John's son Jett passed away today. RIP Jett...

[jonny11022]

The Film is good,but i find Grease better.

[johnobama]

Excellent movie...excellent song. You can see his raw talent. Come back John...

[TravoltaMoonFan7]

To be honest with you, John sings his own version of "What Would They Say", and he did a much better job on the song. Not saying that this singer isn't bad, just I've heard John's version, and I enjoy it even more. But I'm just being skeptical about it.

[debdifer]

the person singing this song is also the man who wrote it...Paul Williams. He has a very distinctive style.

[custardaghost]

he sang the Scott Baio stuff on the Bugsy malone songs? sure sounds like him

[am2boni]

I saw this movie back in the 70's. It was and still is a classic!! I love this song!!! Thanks for sharing this awesome memory!!!

[passingthrough321]

LOVE those orange shorts...

[manitogata]

I remember watching this movie when it first came out. Excellent movie!!

[ManicNole]

I remember when this movie was first shown on TV. (Yes, I'm old.) Cheesy, but good movie. Great song by Paul....thanks for posting it.

[flatsignedbooks]

well, he got cured, had his face-off, did a dance, and is a pilot. Loved this movie as a kid.

[ebaljr]

The last few minutes of this old TV movie seem to scream if you've got any feelings. And, let's face it, Glynnis O'Connor was cute - the girlfriend we all wish we had had.

[theflowerpower01]

Really this is John's best film, there's a lot of contraverse about this film, that's also why they very rarely show it on Tv.

It don't have a happy end, very realistic film strongly recommended.

[jonesbunny]

love this movie,thanks for posting this!!!

[Travolta]

Very precious video, this film is TV FILM , filmed in 1976 ,in spain is very famous this film, the song is WHAT WOULD THE SAY and includes in the record of John tituled" JOHN TRAVOLTA" and too" TRAVOLTA FEVER" for the years 1977 and 1979,the mom of john in this film is his girlfriend DIANA , she dies in 1977 when john filmed the biggest film succes SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. Look my videos, im john travolta impersonator in spain!

[tvfan1123]

according to the IMBD, this movie was filmed in LA.

[lavendergirl63]

The gal that played his mother, Diana Hyland, was his real-life girlfriend.

She passed away of cancer. Very sad.

[EbonyFreak]

great song but wasn't John Travolta that sang it was the short guy that played in smokey and the bandit Paul Williams was the guy that sang this song..I still love this song from him..

[scott97]

this proves that EVERYTHING can be found on youtube. I saw this on TV in about 1978, when I was in high school. Cracked me up.

[TwistedSeasons]

wow... is this the really old version of Bubble Boy???

[rachisthebest0405]

Yeah its from the 70s =]

[debjgar]

love the movie, always looked for the song and couldn't find it, thankyou! love john travolta..another one of my favorite's is staying alive when he dances with cynthia rhodes and especially the part when she's singing in the nightclub and he walks in with his blue vneck t-shirt and she cries as she sings to him...love it.

[dracoesrider]

i love this movie

[oztoob]

That song has stuck in my head since I saw the movie. Thank you.

[kielnico]

I know!!! And I was like 7 or 8 years old when I saw this...

[kirazinn]

John Travolta has a really pretty beautiful face, that i just love it a lot!!!!

[res007d9]
