  • I have been in love with olivia newton john since i was kid, talk about beauty, innocence, and those beautiful eyes and smile

  • Olivia played a goddess on this film, and for sure that she looked like one.

  • I don't care what critics say. Xanadu is a great film that gives you a warm feeling of joy and love of life. It feels like being a child again. It makes me feel like the good old Gene Kelly on skates.

  • Fun movie with great songs.

  • I agree with ALL the positive responses opn here. I'm lucky enough I STILL have this movie! ONJ was EVERY YOUNG MAN'S WET DREAM IN the late 70's and 80's! What a BEAUTY SHE WAS!

  • @alexp8654 And still she is, one of the most beautifull women ever. Greetings, Harry.

  • ONJ is so pretty it's beyond belief.

    In this video, I think she looks like the most beautiful woman ever to live.

  • @pjstrupp Millions of us agree with you.

  • Best musical movie EVER made!!

  • I can not believe they do not play the bit where they meet again ....................... not happy Jan !!!!!!!! I Love the ENDING where they meet again - Excuse me miss I would just like to talk to you for a minute <3

  • Great movie and great lyrics. Haters will never get it.

  • I found the kitchen sink, it's behind the bar. Now this is camp and brilliant :D

  • Merci Olivia à chaque fois que le DJ du café de l`est à montréal mettais cete toune le plancher de danse étais fullll pis ca s`appelait le Xanadu lollllllo

  • J'avais 20 ans en 1980.........Une époque merveilleuse. Merci à rick6348.

  • Olivia was so hot. She deserved better than Lattanzi. What a loser.

  • 0:36 i'm having difficulty breathing

  • sorry bigalum about that hope things work out for your fam. Ingle good movie with great music. Before you buy it need to know what kind of music he likes if wont enjoy it seen it my way want to buy it

  • For the 14 ones who disliked this, one day you will understand that you where wrong. No hard feelings.... Greetings from Flanders.....

  • @CuypersHarry Not aimed at you personally but as one who does this I have to ask. Why go for people who dislike something you like? I have never usderstood this concept, I am just curous.

    One of my best friends thinks Kate Bush is a screechy whiney female K-9 and I love her music and he likes music that I think is to slit wrists to, Leonard Cohen. Yet neither of us feels the need to go at each other. We each like different areas of music and some in common. Horses for courses.

  • @Dermacrosis As far as can understand you can't get it that i wonder why people doesn't like this song. Everyone has the right tho have his opinion, anyway, this is great. Just great, and i love Kate Bush as well. I bought her album after i heard Wuthering heights on television. I was so impressed that it didn't take 24 hours to go for her album. So, convinced?...........

  • WHAT IS JOHN TRAVOLTA DOING AT 2.48 IN XANADU?WAS HE SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE FILM lol.

  • @stephy7475 Actually if it's the guy that I spotted at 2:48 that's the guy that she was dating for a long time ... a dancer, he's in a few of her films in cameo bits. Funny you spotted him, it was kind of scandalous, the boyfriend was quite a few years younger than her. Olivia was one of the early cougars, lol.

  • @stephy7475 Just looked it up ... the guy in the red blazer dancing was Matt Lattanzi, this was the film that they met on. He was married to her, he was her first husband. So now ya know.

  • @bloomcountyUSA You're saying that the guy at 2:48 was her husband.... LOL... It makes me think that she had a crush on Travolta because that guy really looks like him....

  • there should be a remake of xanadu with a big participation of olivia for sure.

  • Wow - not remastered at all - the chroma is way, WAY too high and blown out.

    This movie looks pretty wonderful when occasionally shown in HD on HBO and/or Cinemax; pity Universal hasn't yet released it on Blu-ray.

  • danke

    erinnereung bekommen

    weiter so

  • I love this !!!

  • One of many wonderful songs that came from a terrible movie

  • Olivia...lindísima!

  • Poor Olivia! LOL No seriously, why does everyone pick on this movie? I've never seen all of it, I'll admit but it doesn't look so bad....I am actually contemplating picking it up on DVD for my cousin.

  • check out Borat in the background at 2.50

  • @rick6348 Nice 1! Cheers for that :)

  • It's a good tune. She's a fantastic looking girl. The performance is great - and there's Gene Kelly too . But ouch! ..the direction and editing of this sequence is just so clumsy and clunky.

    I wonder if the original rushes are still around ? Maybe someone could re-cut it to make a refreshed movie worthy of the original music. .

  • LIGHT YEAR APPROACH!

  • onj was bangin for sure.

  • I loved this movie it had some good songs and two of my favorite performers Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton John. I know the Critics hated the movie but then they hate everything good. But that's ok I never see a movie based on what they say, they never like what I enjoy.

  • THIS VERSION SUCKS! You call this remastered? What a fool!

  • Comment removed

  • ts amazing that God made women such as her. I still have such a crush on her after all these years. What a terrific beauty. Well, Maybe in my next life...

  • @wthjrtx1 Me too She's sooooo beautiful

  • I absolutely loved this movie. I saw it at the theater with my mom. It's even more wonderful now that I see the individual segments on YouTube. I love you, Mom!

  • Love her little tiger skirt

  • @arieloz

    Where's your better quality version? Oh, forgot, you're only into ferrets. OOPS!

  • I think Beyonce stole some of her Single Ladies moves from the ladies at 4:01

  • I never realised til now, you can hear the skates straight off the mic over the backing.

  • I still hate this movie, but I still LOVE Olivia and the amazing soundtrack!

  • Ahh Kira :)

  • Olivia is exceedingly, incredibly, amazingly HOT in this video.

  • Comment removed

  • I'll ALWAYS love this movie and its music. My late son, Patrick was only 3 years old when we took the family to see the movie in Payson, UT and immediately bought the soundtrack album on the way home. For weeks afterward, he would lay on the floor gazing at the many pictures of Olivia Newton-John for hours on end. He was in LOVE!!! He passed away in May of 2006, leaving me three beautiful grandsons and another on the way. All four have a lot of their dad in them. Great memories!!

  • @BigAlum thats gorgeous...Im sorry to hear for your loss...really felt it in my heart.

  • @BigAlum why did he die so young?

  • @stephy7475 He died in a traffic accident at age 29. Nearly 6 years ago now. still miss him like crazy.

  • @BigAlum oh man,i m very sorry for your son,fortunatelly he granted you with 4 lovely grandchildren.he was a bit younger than me.i m sure he is looking after you all. = )

  • Okay, what?

  • @t0mme1981: WTF -- the chic underwent a psychotic break --- from lovely blonde-granola-gal -- the onetime 1970s' embodiment of Pop-Culture-Sincerity [oxymoron 'ism (she even duo'ed with eg, John Denver)], plucking human-heartstrings with an oeuvre of titles/lyrics eg, Have You Never Been Mellow, I Honestly Love You, modestly & demurely attired (quite angelic at times) etc to brash tackiness: Xanadu, Let's Get Physical etc...diametrical extremes. Again, the ultimate in Pop-Poop-Multi-Culturalism

  • Reminds me of the roller discos we had in the local youth club in the early 80's.Look at Gene Kelly go

  • a world you can dream on,like it,when isee olivia i see a part of myself the way she,s wearing her hair best film grease angelique,wanna see that movie whom of you know were to find on internet or to buy,oh peter you know my taste

  • wow i wanna be in xanadu eternall dancing ,tyme ago i wear same suite like her,the 80,s

  • In her day ONJ was one of the most smoking hot women of all time. Still a stunner as a matter of fact.

  • that video had everything going on in it ultimate video right their soooo cheesy 80s

  • @whirlyfan

    OK, there's cheese, then there's GORGONZOLA! lol

  • Ok, saw the movie when I was eight, loved it, Olivia is great, ELO is great, hell, I didn't even mind Michael Beck's imitation of a block of cedar. But something just occurred to me, and maybe this has been addressed, but, at the end, when her and her sisters change back into their costumes from the beginning in a flash of light, the crowd disappears. Where did they go? Did she "wish them to the cornfield?" MURDERER!!!

  • @ 0:35 when she comes onstage,the dancer in red v-neck on the left behind her is Matt Lattanzi who she me while doing this movie, she was 30 and he was 19, they started dating while filming and she married him 84 , he is the father of her daughter Chloe...and u all think Demi/Ashton was something, imagine Miss Goody-two shoes dating a 19 year old at that time...they kept it sectret for 2 yrs. Guess they waited until he could drink legally LOL LOVE YOU OLVIA

  • OMG Brillo is right. Who thought that it was a good idea to let Gomer dance?

    I saw the movie in a theater with a really BIG screen. So much was happening at the same time, it was like the wall was throwing up people.

  • We should decree an INTERNATIONAL XANADU APPRECIATION DAY for all it's gobsmaking,goose-pimpling, mind-blowing just thow everything in there and see what happens goodness....It's impossible to watch this and not have a huge smile on your face.

  • love it

  • Lol @ 4:45 he makes me laugh so hard at the way he is trying to dance that i start to cough and my throat hurts!!! Total Gomer Pile lol

  • God I miss the 80's!!!!!

  • Love love love this scene and this movie!! I miss all the rollerskating we use to do back in the day :)

  • son charme et le génie du groupe E L O font de ce morceau un morceau qui restera marqué dans nos mémoires

  • THere is only one thing that is missiong from this, and that is that Gene Kelly is not dancing the tap dance sequence.

  • :35 I literally lose it when Olivia first hits the screen! What a hottie and this was her 1980 babe-peak!

  • @aitraining

    Woah! Down boy!

  • @rick6348 damn she was hot back then...the 12 ppl who didnt like the video needs monkey slapped

  • @aitraining ':35 I literally lose it when Olivia first hits the screen!'

    She first hits the screen at 0.01 right in the centre! 

  • @aitraining Heck I'd be all over her in her 2011 Cougar faze! lol

  • @aitraining Me too. :)

  • Sorry but at 2:58 she is not wearing any underwear!

  • @cheizzy They are called flesh colored danskins.

  • Damn Olivia was sexy as hell back in the day!!!!

  • Damn Olivia was sexy as hell back in the day! @ :37

  • Whoever's idea it was to allow the skates to be heard on the floor durring the song.....should be hit up the side of the head with a fucking roller skate as hard as possible!!! Soooooooooooo unecessary!

  • I adore this! Vintage Jeff Lynne!

  • Nobody's going to upstage Olivia Newton-John... not the nine muses doing the shimmy, nor even Weird Al Yankovic dancing on a tightrope!

  • Think I looked for this just to see either if she FINALLY pushes those people off the tightrope (she ain't done it yet, but I'll keep watching...just in case...lol) or to see the face she makes after she takes a drink of that beer. Either way though...it's a great song...thank you for posting it :)

  • Gene Kelly is Timeless!!

  • 79 .. look at them robot dancing .. was it fashionable at the time?

  • A weapon of mass distraction....ONJ The Neutron Bomb, truly an enhanced radiation weapon is our Olivia.

  • .This country has been moving further and further to the right for the last 30 years so it sure isn't liberalism that is ruining things. And maybe it's stuff like those billion dollar government contracts to Halleburton that took Cheney from a net worth of 1 million to 70 million that is bankrupting this country.

  • Take a good look at the clothes and the hair. I've heard that the 70s are coming back. GREAT!! That was the last great decade.

  • @3catches the 70s are DEAD just as much as disco is DEAD and THANK GOD! the 70s were an awful decade especially with carter communism and now with have obamunism which is going to destroy us if we do not get rid of the obamunist-messiah!

  • @SocratesTheGadfly If Wall St. and large corps. won't invest their money in the USA (Communist China is getting it all and they have passed us up) then they should get taxed and get their tax breaks taken away and the government can pass it around and keep our economy going instead of building up Communist China. If something isn't done to keep money going around in our economy we will soon become a third world country. Of course if you have tons of money, you probably don't care.

  • @3catches sounds like socialism and the TRUTH is that socialism does NOT work no matter how it is implemented, formulated, imposed, or structured. what you are proposing is EXACTLY what the obamamessiah has been doing for the past 2+ years and it has NOT worked. governments do NOT create jobs. governments destroy wealth, capital and resources which results in a downturn in the economy. do us a favor and learn how an economy works FIRST, BEFORE proposing idiotic ideas. carter nearly destroyed us

  • @SocratesTheGadfly maybe you should learn how the economy works. Communism is forced socailism and apparently it has been working very well for Communist China with all the Wall St. money and jobs we're bleeding from this country to them. You obviously care more about money than about this country and the people in it. Our elected officials are supposed to look out for us, not China, and if our private institutions won't do it than our DEMOCRATICALLY elected government will have to do it

  • @3catches actually communist china has been implementing state controlled limited capitalism into its economy while maintaining political control by the communist party. socialism has NEVER worked and NEVER will work. a much better example is the countries of greece, iceland and portugal who are running up enormous debts just like the obamamessiah and those countries are FAILING. the current obamatons, obamatrons and obamunists are busy DESTROYING America from within with LIBERALISM.

  • O.o... So I'm glad the stage version of this cut some of these mixed songs out lol It'd be so confusing.

  • i loved this film & song ♥

  • esta tia está cojonuda

  • great song...god awful film!

  • Matt Latanzi at 2:48 thru 3:01

  • Don't get me wrong, this film is great fun, but watching every amazingly crammed frame of this number, I keep thinking, "Wait, you forgot the kitchen sink!"

  • @TokyoSpike

    They didn't forget it, they just couldn't work out where to put it! LOL!

  • @TokyoSpike and the hooker with the heart of gold.

  • @TokyoSpike I seem to remember reading that this movie was horribly over time and over budget because of these scenes.

  • Olivia Newton-John is wonderful ! She as something SOOOOOO special, she gives me shiver, she's almost from another planet !! After all theses years, I still love her !!!!!

  • Clearly, there was no more talented and beautiful singer in the late 70's that ONJ...

  • despite all the cheesy effects and seriously dated costumes, i cannot help but fall more in love with Olivia Newton John. *swoon*

  • I don't know why they didn't release a single of that rocker chick song she sings.

    "I won't be needing any love for awhile!" That would have been a great song!

  • I canot believe they made a video with so much of the back of her head. I don't think that would happen today. What a waste!

  • This was the first album I every bought after seeing the movie. I listened to that album over and over that year. My tastes have changes a lot since I was 13!

  • And after 30 + years , she has proven the test of time !! Does not hurt her >

  • for xanadu fans, there is a 3 part documentary on youtube about the making of Xanadu.

  • Although I listen to completely different music, this one is close to my heart.

    Reminds me of my early childhood and all the parties my parents used have.

    Happy days.

    xsx

  • Yes it did. at the Helen Hayes Theatre and opened on July 10, 2007.

  • Did this ever make it on to Broadway?

  • マイケル・ケインが格好いい!

  • Gene Kelly rollerskating what more could you want?

  • Did Dolly Parton voice over that one country sequence? :P

  • @Hugs97220 Nope that was Olivia...

  • This is a GREAT Video. This may be the last of the great Busby Berkley style movies of all time.

  • Some years ago there was suppose to be a night club in Las Vegas named Xanadu but for some odd reason the blue prints never got off the drawing board.

  • Where's NeilPeart, where's Geddy Lee, Where's Alex Lifeson???

  • @makinbiscuits i know man fuck this shit lets listen to some RUSH

  • You know,not only was Gene Kelly a great song and dance man,but he could SKATE as well.....impressive what he could do.You were a class act,Gene.

  • AMAZING!!!

  • ELO AND RUSH backing up oliva newton john... WHAT MUSICAL POWER!

  • This is my #1 favorite movie of all time and I just LOVE it to pieces!! Saw it 3 times at the movie theater when it came out in 1980 and I also got it record on VHS and one night I saw it 10 times in a row, because I LOVE it so much!! I have the soundtrack and have seen her in concert once and she sang this song and I almost DIED!!!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!

  • When I was fifteen, I walked into this movie and walked out a changed person. XANADU saved my life. Such an absolutely beautiful and magnificent ending to the best movie ever -- I could watch that finale a million more times than I probably already have! Thanks for posting!

  • Such an absolutely beautiful and magnificent ending to the best movie ever -- I could watch that finale a million more times than I probably already have! Thanks for posting!

  • I guess there have been 6 lames in here who prefer to watch a kid fly like superman

  • I am 45..I always liked this movie AND soundtrack..Love seeing the brilliant Gene Kelly on rollerskates :-)

  • I was 11 when I saw this at the movie in 1980. I already had a huge crush on Olivia from Grease, and this just blew me away--I miss those days so much. I still have the double album soundtrack (yes, the vinyl stuff) --still one of the best movie soundtracks ever.

  • great music, pity about casting michael beck, he was totally wrong for the part but overall a great job by the cast
