Grease is one of the most best and most classic films ever...

[@HollywoodInsiders402]

This video is amazing, do you feel the same as me?

[@leesashriber5097]

One of the greatest soundtracks ever!!! Such a great movie. Sad we've lost so many. ❤️🕊️🙏

[@bartmix8994]

Grease is the way that I’m feeling…yeah, how’s that working out.

[@kristalbartmann5504]

I have the soundtrack on cd and I ❤it

[@danielzaouer3308]

lost?? nobody is ever lost. They just left on a trip where everybody goes one day, sooner or later, we will all meet there!!!

[@dwaynebailey3504]

This movie takes me back to my youth and a much better time when everything was new to me. Good ole days

[@michellefey3741]

My two favorite musicals were the ones Olivia Newton-John performed/sang in. Grease and Xanadu. Broke my heart when she died. She was a pink ribbon warrior like myself. She fought a good fight. I pray she rests well in heaven.

[@ateneaessabia0399]

I love Xanadu. It's my favourite musical movieLiv died on the 42nd anniversary of Xanadu

[@lurkinginshadows1141]

To me, this movie is remembered for 2 things: 1. Catchy music 2. Having oldest cast for a movie set in high school. 🤣 I mean Stockard Channing was over 30, lol! And RIP to Olivia Newton-John😢🌹

[@kazamshah4543]

Yeah, and she looks awful these days. Too much plastic surgery.

[@purpledreamer9654]

It's flipping scary how old this film is 😳 It's the only time I feel old is when either one of my kids reach a milestone age or a favourite film or album Purple Rain was 40 years old awhile back and Nooo Way is it that old 😱😜🤪

[@lilyross1667]

😂😂😂 Me too !!!!!

[@internationalsolartech]

Grease was the soundtrack of the Summer of '78... What a great summer to be a kid spending most of my time with friends and family at the lake listening to fun music and wondering how I was ever going to date Olivia Newton John....

[@patriciamele2892]

Lucky! I was 9 when it was out and not allowed to see it because of the curse words. I was only allowed to see sleeping beauty and the muppet movie! These days kids see much worst!

[@MelissaRichardson-lx2hl]

My all time favorite musical is GREASE

[@user-zm4rw5bs3x]

Olivia Newton John needed a GOOD BUTT SNIFFING. And I would have been there.

[@missjoshemmett]

Not a teen among them. They played their parts very well. Great movie! Miss Jeff...

[@purpledreamer9654]

Thank you for doing this video This film is one of my top favourite musical films especially as John Travolta is my first love and will always be Calamity Jane is always going to be No1 because of the connection with my late mum I grew up watching musicals with her and going to watch Grease with her Iconic classic film 🙏💜🌻💜🙏

[@marksargent2440]

When i watch things like this i do think we grew up in happier and care fee days suddenly all thats gone and so are most of the cast suddenly you think oh shit i am getting old now 😊

[@cathyn3477]

I love this movie ❤

[@kristinaNC]

Besides Star Wars, this was the most beloved movie from the 70's for me! ✨ I still have the (very tattered) full-color movie book (with all song lyrics). My other favorite musical is Calamity Jane with Doris Day and Howard Keel! ❤️

[@oxouk]

That’s funny. I’m 50 and tell people I’ve seen Grease and Star Wars more times than any other movie ever.

Was great to watch, thanks

I still love watching Grease. I love musicals but I think my all time favorite is The Sound of Music.

[@nancyconnell]

PART OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS

[@notarycat]

I saw Grease at a drive-in movie theatre in 1978. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers is an all-time favourite for me. Singin' in the Rain is another favourite.

[@truthcanhurt4800]

I like chocolate and collecting guns. I mean, since we are just telling our favorite things....🤦‍♂️

[@SusieAnderson-ds7dq]

@notaryc...yes! Seven Brides is still my favorite musical...at 78yrs old, I've probably seen it 40 times!😅

One of my favorite. Thank you

[@maryortega8027]

It is totally amazing the ages of these actors n actresses n the ages they were suppose to play while making Grease n knowing their actual age while making the movie. My son was totally just so crazy about Grease n how he would dance n sing like them. He would watch that movie over n over. Thank for the loving memories. 👍😁👏

[@doncameron8018]

I liked Frankie Avalon so much when I was a teenager!😉

[@anncosten3222]

It's shockingly frightening how bloody fast time flies. My advice : do not bloody waste it. This is it. No re go's. There really is nothing worse than regret

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I didn't realise that John Travolta's sister Ellen Travolta was in Grease. How cool is that! You know I think baldness suits him. He rocks that style bless.him. I still think the film Phenomenon which Travolta was in was his best movie. He played the part with such flair and such heart, compared to Grease! Grease was really good, and I still love it, it's one of his best movies, but Phenominon was a better performance in my opinion. RIP to the cast members of Grease who have passed on. Well done to the rest of the cast who are.still going strong.

[@user-zm4rw5bs3x]

His sister Ellen was ALSO in "Saturday Night Fever." At the very beginning. She handed him the piece of pizza through the window.

Kind of the same with Welcome Back Kotter

[@badmoodana6532]

[@scarlettroger1508]

Despite their obvious ages, they made it all work. They made it totally believable, and we loved all the characters.

[@nsxmatt]

In no shape or form was it meant to be realistic or believable. Choreographed spontaneous dance numbers and flying cars was kind of a hint

[@badmoodana6532]

@@nsxmatt sure it was. Movies like this rely on 'suspension of disbelief.' You're supposed to accept what you're seeing as reality in order to truly enjoy a movie with flying cars and impromptu dance numbers

The biggest surprise for me was that Fannie Flagg was a co-writer on the book "Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe" which become the movie Fried Green Tomatoes with Mary Stuart Masterson. Things I learned today. 🙂

Eddie Deezen's story is a bit sad. His recent pic was taken when he was arrested for burglary at a nursing home. He was deemed incompetent to stand trial and was in treatment at a state facility until last January. Looks like he's living with a former manager who is his guardian.

[@badmoodana6532]

Jeff Conaway's story is also so sad. He hurt his back in the dance scene to Greased Lightning and that got him hooked on pain killers. He spent the rest of his life with various substances addictions. I remember seeing him on Dr. Drew Celebrity Rehab and he could barely form a sentence and looked like hell. It really was tragic to see him like that after being so cool and funny on Taxi
