I actually don't mind watching Grease 2 and I do not find it a chore to watch, but because I absolutely adore the original and think that the sequel does lack the magic and charm of the first, I rate it as bad, because it could have been better than what they gave us. Why they let Patricia Birch direct this, who was the choreographer for the first, I have no idea. Poor choices were made with story concept and production management right from the start and it deserved to fail. Technically it is excellent though. Pfeiffer has no charm to her Stephanie and just comes across as bitch with a carrot stuck up her arse and Caufield is way too pretty. Who were they selling this to, with 2 unknowns in the lead. Yes, I agree with you about Frechette and his music number in the bunker is perhaps my favorite one.
Had a discussion recently with some lesbians acquaintances and we were talking about s<>t and it was brought up if we could only watch one film for the rest of our lives and no other what would we choose. My choice was Grease.
So, you picked "Grease" as your go to "stuck on a desert island" movie? Wow! Well, that is as good a choice as any, because if you are allowed to watch only one movie for the rest of your life, it should be something that makes you feel really good and energized, and "Grease"definitely does that. I do like that movie a lot. But,That is such a hard pick. What did some of your lesbian acquaintance choose? Anything interesting? "Carrie" is my favorite movie, but that could never be my pick because it is too intense, and ultimately, it is a very sad movie.  I am going to have to get back with you on that one! Yes, it was a hard call to make, but what you have mentioned here, is also the reason why I chose it. Plus I doubt if I said something like 3 Women or Amadeus, I doubt they would have that reference. I didn't have the mind reference for their millennial choices, films I'd hardly heard of. Actually, one come to think of was quite popular, but it hasn't come to mind yet. The 15yr old brother chose something obscure to me as well.
Mr. Dirty, have you seen the musical version of Hairspray with John Travolta and Christopher Walken? I love this, but perhaps adore Water's 80's version just a tad more.
I will look forward to hearing your choice. I almost said Up In Smoke or Elvira: Mistress Of The Dark, but I think Grease is a better choice for a desert island film. If there were more people stranded on the island with you, we can get to see their choices as well. They would be projected in the sky at night, like a mirage.
