Stil magic - a timeless classic, and personally probably the most influential film I ever saw.

The opening scenes are timeless classics, the music is still sensational, and the film really does have some great characters and some brilliant sub plots. And whilst some of the movie is obviously dated, it still after all these years gives a sense of joy, hope, youth and dreams. Watched it again last night, and as a 50 year old it all came flooding back - melancholia obviously setting in because I felt like a 15 year old again - the memories came flooding back. In my small town, mobile discos sprouted everywhere - and we all wanted to be John Travolta.and it was one of the catalysts for me to leave home and explore the world. Opened our eyes to a whole new world - nightclubs, disco music, women, dreams - there was a whole world out there which we d never seen. Watched this as a 15 year old in 1977 at the local cinema - and like many of my friends it was a watershed moment in my life.

Nor can he find satisfaction at his dead-end job at a small paint store. At home, Tony fights constantly with his father and has to compete with his family's starry-eyed view of his older brother, a priest. But outside of the club, things don't look so rosy. Nineteen-year-old Brooklyn native Tony Manero lives for Saturday nights at the local disco, where he's king of the club, thanks to his stylish moves on the dance floor.
