My brother and I saw this movie when it first came out on cable, on HBO I think, probably in 82 or 83. I was around 7 years old at the time, my brother probably 9. Xanadu became the first album that me and my brother ever asked our parents to buy us. We didn't care too much for the plot of the movie, but Olivia Newton-John was hot, and the music was awesome. The album is still, in my opinion, the greatest soundtrack of all-time.

Robert Greenwald's "Xanadu" (1980) with Michael Beck along with Dame Olivia Newton-John and Gene Kelly in their next to last performances. Excellent music, including the 1981 Grammy-nominated "Magic" plus dazzling lighting, editing, sets, scoring adaptation, choreography, special effects and so much more that make this cult film an enjoyable fun loving experience. A Universal Release. (c)1980 Universal Studios.

This whole films addresses the funadmental human condition of self-aware consciousness, creativity and self doubt, all without ever failing to be fabulous. It's posibly my favourite film. I think being obsessed with this film as a kid informed the rest of my life. Literally if everyone just chilled out for a bit and danced around all floaty and cool the world would be a much nicer place.

Xanadu was poor timing, and nothing else. Acting was top shelf. Dancing and music was every bit as good as SNF or Grease. It is just by 1980, between SNF, Grease, & Urban Cowboy, America was "burnt out" on musicals. Even Travolta went through a rough patch because of it. Xanadu was a terrific movie that never got it's much deserved due....

Viciously panned by film critics when it first premiered... yet, what is it about "Xanadu" that's so rapturous? Critics who really can't get behind a genuine honest emotion brought on by a-feel-good-movie can be soooo cruel and really appear to be missing out on life! A guilty pleasure... sure, and why not? We all have at least one... don't we?

As a 1993 baby I first heard about this movie when it was adapted for Broadway. I had to see for myself what made Xanadu a cult classic.

This movie, especially this scene, I’d say is one of the most beloved memories of my childhood. Hearing and seeing this brings back a whole range of emotions that encapsulate a time of life that I only realise now, being 40, that I miss and treasure so much. The feelings this scene evokes feeds my soul to this day. Olivia Newton John has unequivocally shaped me. This movie, along with Grease are the epitome of greatness, movies that just don’t get made any longer.

I’m 46yrs old and this scene/song still gives me chills after all these years. My mom took my to see this when I was 8 and I loved it so much then and still do now. I still have the album that was given to me on Christmas of ‘81. That was such an amazing soundtrack and I listened to it backwards and forwards. Love Jeff Lynne!

The thing I have noticed - the 1980s dopiness that was originally attributed to this film no longer seems to exist. Now people are seeing it, albeit with pretty clumsy CGI, as positive and inspiring. I personally always loved the film because it's message was clear to me........look for your muse.....look for that which gives you inspiration.

The fourth Muse that comes alive (at 0:40) is Sandahl Bergman who also played Valeria in Conan the Barbarian. You get a good look at her at 2:02 through 2:07. She BY FAR is the best dancer in the bunch.

the second muse on this clip who turns alive is not the same muse at the end of the movie I guess she was replaced by another muse whose hair is much longer. so I don't really know if it's her name here which you posted or the other one's else. Haven't anyone noticed that or only me? I consider this muse on this clip much more beautiful I'd love to see how she is now.

Did you know this movie is an unofficial sequel to Down to Earth with Rita Hayworth? Rita played Terpsichore and has to leave suddenly at the end of the movie, thus the scene in Xanadu with Gene Kelly remembering back to the 1940's and dancing with Terpsichore.

JENDALL714 I didn't know that. I just saw Down to Earth on one of our local channels a couple of weeks ago. I noticed the similar theme of Rita being a Greek muse. Interestingly, Down to Earth is a sequel to the film Here Comes Mr Jordan. You know, I will never understand the Xanadu bashing that has taken place since it premiered. It's one of my all-time favorite movies and I'm extremely picky about the films I like. I guess people either don't understand it or they hear all the negativism and just fall in line with the naysayers.
