A seven. It is a brilliant beginning. I watched half of it. A commentary, before, after and during would have made it better.

I saw the trailer for this movie at the Benson theater in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. You could feel the audience reaction when we realized that the movie was filmed literally outside the theater. People couldn't control themselves and broke out into spontaneous conversation and applause. I decided to return to the Benson to see the film when it opened there. The effect on the audience was electrifying.

i turned 11 in the summer of 77 so no going to any disco for me, but i loved music since i was 6 so i loved the soundtrack and got to see the movie years later because it was not suitable for young kids. Anyway i grew up with 60's and 70's music and my best days were in the 80s, so in the disco 2.0 era, and is because i grew up from a older teenager to a young adult in that decade, so those were my best days and i'm glad that i ws at the right time and place and age because the 80's were the best times the western world has ever seen. The 90's were also okay but from 2000 until now the world has gone insane and now i'm glad that i'm no longer a young dude, because i don't want to be a part of today's young people because they all are weak, woke, feminized, political correct idiots. So to hell with the modern world, i lived my best years in the best decades, and that was worth more than all the money in the world!

I lived in the city too. Queens. But I drove a taxi all over - I drove through the Bronx the night of the blackout. That was an experience. But I loved those pizza joints all over the city. I was trying to remember how much a slice was back then. A lot of the pizza places I know closed, and the new ones don't seem as italian, or as good. In the old days there was a fresh pie coming out of the oven every fifteen minutes. I never saw anyone eat two slices at once like Tony did in this opening scene.

Mine also .But now i Love my Lord and Saviour The Lord Jesus Christ I know He died for every ones sins past present and future And All you have to do is put All your trust in him personally and in him alone to save you He died on the cross to save all humanity. I have so much peace Now that i have put all my trust in him and him alone to save me from Hell for ever. This will be the best news you will ever hear EVER.

That sort of charisma you either have or you don't.

Truly one of The Most Drop-Down GORGEOUS men of the 70's...and to this very day! 💝😍🌹

It goes from sunshine to a rainy day in less than a minute !!

There may not be a film that better captures the mood, culture, music, and feel of an American decade.

John Travolta really gave the new meaning for the word cool.

I was 6 years old when the movie came out, those were last few years of 70's fashion style. I remember, mostly because of photos my uncles and other family members dressed like him during my Bday parties as a child. I remember staying alive soundtracks played even during my child parties. When 80's came, a lot of changes happened not just in the music culture but the fashion culture. Sneakers and Casual shoes quickly replaced those high heel man shoes and bell-bottoms pants were a thing of the past.

AWESOME!!!!! Movies now a days don't have a dust of magic like this movie right here!

Not the NYC we have now…..

​@Heygoodlooking-lk9kg what about their 60 stuff ?

Thank you. Wonderful, what a beat! I was so blessed living thru the 1960s and 70s.

I was 15 when I saw this at the Cinema in 78 and although it had an 18 rating, wearing a jacket and a tie did tend to get you in as long as you didn't look like a child. I was very much into rock music but there is no doubting the toe tapping beat of a classic song, regardless of genre. It really does give you the best start to a film that was quite dark in a number of places. Coming out of the cinema, it was hard not to do the 'walk' yourself, even if you ended up looking like an idiot lol

Ah, Barry Gibb…so many great songs, but this one is his immortal contribution. It will never get old.

@callmesceptical9114 never saw Barbie either. Does it turn all dark and sinister too? If so I might steer clear of it.

Opening release of the movie: my high school friend and I sat through every single showing from morning to evening. I was transfixed, and still have to watch it if it appears on television. The dancing and music is flawless. ❤❤❤

I was 19 when I saw it. Been kicking butt on the dance floor ever since. Thanks John and Bee Gees ♥

Filmed on 86th street, in the Bensonhurst section of Brooklyn ... my home turf. Some of the dance sequences were filmed at Philip's Dance Studio, on the corner of west 7th street and Bay Parkway ... Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Next door to Simon's Autorama. My block. Ya hadda see all the film crews, extras and all. Crazy. Before Philip's it was Jamar ... bowling alley and pool room. Played there and set up the duck pins, too. Cleaned the tables for a few extra bucks. Yeah ... memories.

I love that intro! That music always makes me move!

I saw this in 1977 and was stunned by how good it was. I only went because my girlfriend talked me into it. She hated it due to the grittiness but I was blown away. Travolta was amazing.

This movie was a sensation, like Star Wars. Nobody had HEARD a movie soundtrack this popular this since "The Graduate" of 1967 with Simon & Garfunkel's hit sound track. People all saw the movie and the next week EVERYONE was signing up for Disco Dancing lessons. Seriously. I was 15 and after some pleading from my widowed mom, she dragged me to those lessons for 2 years, dancing with all the white-haired ladies !!

Ok! Absolutely, NO ONE, TO THIS DAY, can walk like John Travolta!
