This movie is a classic rendition of a long running Broadway play. John Travolta, already a star from Saturday Night Fever, and Olivia Newtown John, who rocketed to music stardom after a string of hits, make this timeless movie a classic forever. They play high school boyfriend-girlfriend in the days of Elvis, when old cars were important to teenage boys, and hair and sleepovers were important to high school girls. It is a trip back in time musically enhanced with lots of famous songs, including the title song, which was written for the movie. Stockard Channing is also great in a supporting role as the leader of the Pink Ladies, a harmless gang other than the gossip they produced. Jeff Conaway, who was in the Broadway cast as John Travolta's part now plays his best friend. This movie has great songs including "Beauty School Dropout," "You're the One That I Want," and the title song. This movie, being based on the longest running Broadway play, is every bit as good as its origins.Read full review
I saw "Grease" in the theater but never saw the Movie. I've been working on a Karaoke number from the show and wanted an inexpensive way to see the Original. I was delighted to find the 20th Anniversery editon included the words to all the songs in a booklet with the DVD. Plus the DVD had a way to select singular songs from the movie to replay. My husband had never seen the show, and when we watched it together we had a great time! Plus the girls I'm doing the karaoke number with, loved watching the original of the number in the show.
The music and the acting are timeless and this DVD is a joy to watch. It reminds me some of my high school years, and I love the old cars!

Everyone I know loves Grease. The songs are catchy and I can remember singing them since I was 12 (and I'm 41 now). The movie/musical had stood the test of time as it is still enjoyed by many people today. I bought it for my daughter and she loves singing along with the movie. SHe's about the same age I was when I first saw it. John Travolta is a favorite of mine. He was charming and Olivia Newton John, sweet.
