Amazon.com essential video
Riding the strange '50s nostalgia wave that swept through America during the late 1970s (caused by TV shows like Happy Days and films like American Graffiti), Grease became not only the word in 1978, but also a box-office smash and a cultural phenomenon. Twenty years later, this entertaining film adaptation of the Broadway musical received another successful theatrical release, which included visual remastering and a shiny new Dolby soundtrack. In this 2002 DVD release, Grease lovers can also now see it in the correct 2:35 to 1 Panavision aspect ratio, and see retrospective interviews with cast members and director Randal Kleiser. All these stylistic touches are essential to the film's success. Without the vibrant colors, unforgettably campy and catchy tunes (like "Greased Lightning," "Summer Nights," and "You're the One That I Want"), and fabulously choreographed, widescreen musical numbers, the film would have to rely on a silly, cliché-filled plot that we've seen hundreds of times. As it is, the episodic story about the romantic dilemmas experienced by a group of graduating high school seniors remains fresh, fun, and incredibly imaginative. The young, animated cast also deserves a lot of credit, bringing chemistry and energy to otherwise bland material. John Travolta, straight from his success in Saturday Night Fever, knows his sexual star power and struts, swaggers, sings, and dances appropriately, while Olivia Newton-John's portrayal of virgin innocence is the only decent acting she's ever done. And then there's Stockard Channing, spouting sexual double-entendres as Rizzo, the bitchy, raunchy leader of the Pink Ladies, who steals the film from both of its stars. Ignore the sequel at all costs. --Dave McCoy

I bought this used and wasn't sure what condition it would be in. I was very happy to see that the condition was excellent and there were no problems with the VHS. Thanks!

I love this movie in general, but it had a scratch in one spot which caused it to skip in one spot. I was very disappointed.

American Classic August 5, 2009
Patrick (Fort Collins , Co 80524)
Grease is still the word. As most know who have seen this movie it is a Truely one of the best Musical movies of all time. The cast was perfect, the Songs were great and you had a love story in a simpler time all rolled into one. You all so had a whos who of actors and actress in the film.
with stars like John Travolta ,Olivia Newton-John ,Stockard Channing ,Jeff Conaway and Didi Conn. plus Stars from the golden age of movies like Eve Arden,Sid Caesar, and Alice Ghostley(TV's Bewitched "Esmeralda") and many more. If you have not seen this movie I highly recommended it.
