SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
Tony Manero (John Travolta) doesn't have much going for him during the weekdays. He still lives at home and works as a paint store clerk in his Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood. But he lives for the weekends, when he and his friends go to the local disco and dance the night away. When a big dance competition is announced, he wrangles the beautiful and talented Stephanie (Karen Lynn Gorney) to be his partner. As the two train for the big night, they start to fall for each other as well.
Here's Travolta's famous Dance Scene.

I always liked Bee Gees stuff, and Grease was fun.
ReplyDeleteI saw SNF on VH1, back when they still played real music and had music-related movies on a fairly regular basis. I miss those days.
ReplyDeleteHey, that plot seems familiar... And I thought that the dance competition movies of the last decade had just been copying each other.

Plus there was a sequel to that film called Staying Alive. (Almost no one has heard of it, so I guess it wasn't very good.)
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I have that song stuck in my head. :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how much Travolta and all still get from the royalties of this incredible movie. Great pick for the S.That was a long time to be dancing at that pace!
ReplyDeleteThis song just makes me want to get up and dance. Travolta is the best here.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the A to Z Challenge!

It always surprised me how their falsetto was so interesting. I remember reading that their father was a classically trained musician.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this movie...it's one of my favorites! My best friend makes fun of me about this :)
