Yeah, I love "Grease", so what? Do something :mad:
One of the only 2 musicals I really love (the other being "Singing in the rain")

Seriously, everything's perfect in this movie.
It would be scientifically impossible to replicate the amount of awesome that Travolta had on this movie.

One of the best scenes ever.

Everything's amazing until the 2:46 mark, where Travolta appears....then it turns glorious.

At the very end of the clip, Vince Fontaine, with his awesome "front flip microphone grab", proves he's one of the best human beings ever.

Yeah, this movie rules.
 
If by "rules" you mean "sucks" then yes, I wholeheartedly agree. :up:
 
Grease does rule. It's probably the best straightforward musical ever. I've loved it since I was kid. Growing up, Danny Zuko was on the same level of coolness for me as James Bond, Batman and Indy. I even dressed up as him for Halloween when I was about 6 or 7, just because he made want to be that cool that badly.

The acting, the music, the costumes and just about everything capture the time period it was trying to replicate perfectly. I love it, and unlike most people, am proud to admit.
 
Grease is very, very cool...but it's overrated as Hell in my house.:(
 
"Grease" is what i would call...too dramatic.

I am not saying I hate the film, but it's definetly not on my favorites list. The film just has too much (how do I want to say this) "bright" people in it. I'm not saying I am a Goth and/or very dark person, but the people in the film act like nothing has ever went wrong for them. "Hey! It's great being so happy! I think I'll sing!" You know what I mean?

Overall though, it's OK.

Humanity would be better off if Grease and West Side Story never happened. :up:
 
Grease did rule :up:

Haven't seen it in a long time though.
 
One of the few musicals that I really enjoy as well. I even convinced my Fraternity to do a mixer with one of the Sororities on campus and make it a Grease theme. They were originally against it, but it turned out awesome. The girls all loved Grease and went all out dressing up for it, while all the lazy guys had to do was wear jeans, and a white t-shirt with cigs rolled up in teh sleeve. And since most of the guys are too "cool" (shy) to dance with women at the parties (at least until they're drunk) all they had to do was learn how to hand jive.

Many men got ass that night thanks to Grease. That's how awesome Grease is.

You're joking, right? Grease was about the kids at school who weren't all shiny and bright. You can tell, because one of them gets pregnant (did Rizzo get an abortion at the end? I always assumed that's what "There Are Worse Things I Could Do" was about), one of them drops out of high school to go to beauty school (only to drop out of beauty school preceeding a visit from her guardian angel, who calls her a failure), all but 2 characters have to repeat their senior year of high school, and Danny spends the entire movie leading Sandy on because he doesn't want to ruin his "bad boy" reputation. In the end, Sandy realizes she has to '****e it up' to be with Danny.

Grease, in my opinion, suffers from what I call "Willy Wonka Syndrome": deeply troubled characters/story, covered up with bright/colorful musical numbers.
 
Great musical. Never Travolta was better( except saturday night fever and pulp fiction), never Olivia Newton John was more charming. The songs were pretty good. Excellent movie.

By the way, grease 2 sucked.
 
Grease was not bad movie and very good musical, but I can't say I'd like to see it again.

...It's a musical:huh:

From this and your comment about wanting to write a movie about Frankenstein that would make you want to "shoot yourself" as you leave the theatre, I'm starting to think you're really into that whole "dark and depressing=COOOL!" thing.
