7.2


wtf?!! One of the greatest movies ever made gets a rating this low? This got to be in the high 9's and in the tops for greatest movie ever made! Fucking Pathetic!

reply

I agree
Im not even a fan of musicals but Grease, along with West Side Story are two classics that would make a great double feature at The Alamo Drafthouse (in the US) or a similar place that caters to older movies and marathons

lol.

Im in your boat. I think i'm a fan of a total of five "musicals" ever made. I never liked the idea and dont even think this is one but being so close to it is it should be in tops.

I've seen musicals that are musicals from beginning to end and that's what I really consider musicals. This had dialogues and other stuff, like comedy.

But considered musicals, I'd enter Saturday Night Live if that's even considered a musical.

Nightmare before Christmas one of my all-time favs.

and

Hedwig.

Give it time. This crap fest will go even lower.

reply

Hahahahahaha.

reply

THat's about right. I could see going as high as 8 for it.

It did kind of capture the time it took place in.

reply

I see it in the high 9's.

and what a time. could it ever be beaten?

reply

I'd probably go 8 and I don't enjoy that many musicals. I think its just a classic movie that everyone should see.

reply

Still I'd go with 9. There isn't that many movies like this and this movie is the originator and the influencer in so many of these types of films.

It's so original and enjoyable even for those that dont like musicals that it should be given special treatment. Somehow I dont think an 8 would do it.

7.2 is still pretty good imo.

reply

If you look at whats above you’d see why it’s disrespected.

reply

I’m not much into musicals but I must say I give Grease 9/10.

Saturday Night Fever and Urban Cowboy defined eras in my opinion and they have their haters too.

reply

At least a 9 which is why I hate it. How can you watch this movie and not get puffed nostalgia. It’s perfect and such a joy.

I actually got into those movies late. Recently and damn are they good. Travolta is so underrated. I actually love Stayin’ Alive.

reply

Well there you go. If a man who’s name is bigbadwolf and has the number of the beast in his name can appreciate and love Grease, then damn it, anyone can!!! 😃

reply

Were ONJ and JT the Barbara Stanwyck and Cary Grant of their time?
I've never seen Grease, and there is a reason for it.
I wouldn't mind watching it and having a good time, but it seems like a silly fluffy movie.
People complain that Citizen Kane isn't so great, but at least it tried to be.
This just seems like a fun flick that shouldn't be taken too seriously.

reply

Maybe.

It isnt supposed to be taken seriously but seeing it you’d see all the iconic influences it has had on the cultures.

I think watching it returns you to nostalgia like no other movie and then you’ll start to notice the magic.

It’s definitely in my must watch collection.

reply

I HATE MUSICALS...I LOVE GREASE....8,MAYBE A 8.5

reply

So Do I.
Naw 9.8 minimum. Its so much fun it doesnt feel like a musical.

reply

^ same Grease and Hair are the only ones I can stand.. and Cabaret of course.

agree with like a 8.3

reply

I ALSO ENJOY HAIR.IVE NEVER SEEN CABARET HOWEVER.

reply

People with no nostalgic feelings for it find it too silly.
