Re: The Movie Thread
I detest musicals, but the title track of Grease is epic.

Just to be clear - I don't like or listen to Elton John either. Hence how would I know?Zonda_ wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 9:53 pmAnd that Elton John had a best selling album with music inspired by it?NotoriousREV wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 9:36 pmYou didn’t know that the film famously scored by Tim Rice & Elton John had an Elton John song in it?Swervin_Mervin wrote: ↑Tue Jul 30, 2019 9:34 pm

IIRC.
I like musicals.
Re: The Movie Thread
I think Grease is one of the greatest films of all time.
Re: The Movie Thread
Can we post more Grease-related stuff to test this?

Re: The Movie Thread
I'm with you on that one. Unfortunately it's one of my wife's favourite films
There are only two musicals I can think of which I actually really like -
Blues Brothers - largely because it's just utterly awesome on all levels, but crucially the music is proper.
Little Shop of Horrors - cos it's got two total nutters in it

MrsREV generally hates musicals too, thankfully, but she does like Dirty Dancing and Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat.

Sweeney Todd with Johnny Depp is pretty epic as well. But then I'm a Burton fanboy so it might be shite, who knows.
Re: The Movie Thread
I quite like a musical.
Rocky Horror Picture Show and Hedwig and the angry inch are probably my favourites.

Grease 2 is either in the so bad it's "cut your eyes out" bad or so bad it's brilliant.

The South Park musical is good.
