Grease

The sound on the bluray replicates beautifully the stunning sound from theaters in 1978! I saw it twice at the movies back then, and I have always felt (like "Purple Rain") that the dynamic presence of the music was the film's finest feature. Awesome picture too. It really is like going back in time and enjoying it on the big screen. A bounty of amazing extras including a very informative commentary with the director and the choreographer. I think you'll be surprised at how important the choreographer's insights are. There's a really interesting Elvis insight along the way too. Listen for it! I won't spoil it. Other extra goodies are b/w clips of deleted scenes, and the sing-a-long program is really cool, even if all you want to do is enjoy the songs ala carte. But the WOW of wows is the 25 year reunion party footage, including terrific performances of songs by Olivia, John, and cast. Very special, and my goodness, Olivia sounds great! I worked in radio in 1978 and played the heck out of the Grease 45's of the day. Unfortunately, due to the lyrics, we couldn't play "Greased Lightning" ( except for a doctored up version a colleague altered with strategically placed beeps!). This great Travolta moment should have hit the top ten, and I am sure it would have if the words were G-rated. Too bad. I always have regretted that. "Grease" is kind of a strange cocktail. So beloved by all ages, including young kids. Yet there's many unsuitable-for-kids lines, lyrics, gestures, inuendos, etc.. I think the PG rating was very lenient. I'd say PG-13 would be much more realistic. Personally, I think the prerequisite Greaser feel could've been scripted and sung more gently. Still, a huge favorite movie of mine, and millions worldwide. I'm hopelessly devoted.

Great movie

I don't know why I never saw this movie before now. Wasn't much of a musical fan I suppose. But this was on sale on Amazon and I'd never seen it, so I ordered it on DVD. Wow! I was amazed at how good it was. Naturally I'd been hearing the music forever, but never in context. It was sweet, the costumes and characters of teens in the 50s a little alien to me, but it all worked. Was blown away with Frankie Avalon and Beauty School Drop Out and Edd Burns in the only other production I'd seen him in since 77 Sunset Strip. The costumes and the color were so vivid and eyepopping compared to the color schemes of later decades. It was a very enjoyable surprise, but now I have those songs running though my head all day long!.

Good movie. Image and audio quality top notch. Packages well.

It comes in a black faux leather jacket.

Not what I was expecting when I ordered. I thought I was getting the US movie, but on the back of the case it said it was from Germany. Also, the characters on front look like cartoons.

Grease is an amazing musical with just the right balance of drama. The storyline is classic and transcends time as the underlying message hits the core of every teenager. Danny Zuko puts his "tough boy" act behind him as he shares a wholesome summer romance with Australian, Sandy Olsen. When summer ends, the two believe they're going their separate ways until Sandy's parents decide to stay in America and she ends up in his high school. As the two share their summer romance stories with their friends we see that Danny has reverted back to his old ways as he sensationalizes the romance by turning it into something sleazy and slutty. And Sandy over dramatizes the romance by making it appear to be a love-affair right out of the movies. Then bam, the two meet! Sandy's excited to see Danny again and believes their summer romance can continue where it has left off, but Danny--unwilling to show a softer side to his fellow greasers--discounts the romance as nothing more than a summer fling and treats Sandy badly. Sandy, choosing to move on with her life, begins to date a more wholesome guy but her heart yearns for Danny. Danny, on the other hand, discovers that he cannot live without Sandy so he tries to break into her world while still trying to live in his own. In the end, it's Sandy who breaks into Danny's world and Danny who discovers that it's okay to show a softer side--for the right reasons. Aside from Danny and Sandy's romance story, there are sub-plots that manage to mingle beautifully with the main storyline--teenagers trying to find their places in the world, girls looking for the men of their dreams, boys trying to get to third base, gossiping, and even a pregnancy scare. There is, however, lots of raunchy sexual innuendos that probably wouldn't make the cut in today's PG-13 ratings so tread lighting with kids under 13--heck stick to kids 16 and above! In all honestly, this is not a wholesome family show but it is a family show. It's funny. It's lively. It's energetic. And it's a whole lot of fun.

Love movie grease good quality

Glee ? No please, this is real musical, this is real high school, this is real movie. Henry Winkler, who became a sensation as "Fonzie" on Happy Days, was considered for the role of Danny Zuko. However, he turned down the role for fear of being typecast. Susan Dey and Deborah Raffin were the first choices for the role of Sandy (Dey declined the role after her manager advised against it). Marie Osmond later claimed on Larry King Live that she had been also been offered the role but declined "on moral grounds" though she later admitted this to be untrue. Set in high school, most of the principal cast were way past their teenage years. When filming began in June 1977, John Travolta was 23, Olivia Newton-John was 28, Stockard Channing was 33, Jeff Conaway was 26, Barry Pearl was 27, Michael Tucci was 31, Kelly Ward was 20, Didi Conn was 25; Jamie Donnelly was 30, and Annette Charles was 29. Only Dinah Manoff, Lorenzo Lamas, and Eddie Deezen, all 19, were still teenagers. The film was released in Spain and Latin America as Brillantina (Brilliantine) - because its English title translated as "Grasa" or "fat" in Spanish.

Amo questo musical, ed infatti è uno dei miei preferiti che mi piace vedere spesso. Il film è davvero carino, i costumi, l’ambientazione, le auto ecc è tutto molto curato e gli attori sono tutti bravi. Le canzoni sono sempre molto belle e le si conosce quasi tutte a memoria. Credo sia uno di quei film sempre verdi che possono trovare almeno carini se non belli anche le nuove generazioni. Magari sentendo aneddoti legati al film dei genitori oppure dei nonni che lo videro al cinema. Da non perdere!
