I didn’t like Xanadu very much. I’d like Olivia Newton-John but not in this movie I like her better in Grease.. like more story a little bit less music. Just didn’t really care for that much.

This movie brings back fond memories. Despite the tacky 1980 s clothes and styles and often criticized story plot, this film has classic features and good cast members. Olivia Newton John was the perfect "muse" (and the crush of every boy then) and her voice is like no other. Gene Kelley is a legend. The big band / tap dance scene with Olivia is the highlight of the film. It always brings a warm, nostalgic feeling to me even though I am only in my 40's. For those that have a appreciation of music and dance, Xanadu is a nice getaway from everyday life.
This is a movie that is inspired by both music and fantasy. It is perfect for all ages to watch, and the music brings back wonderful memories. The lost style of the innocence of movies is something that producers are having a difficult time re-capturing in recent films, even with a rating of PG. There is something about the chemistry of the actors/actresses in this film that make it memorable; Music Legend, Gene Kelly, and early 80's pop icon, Olivia Newton John, have amazing "magic" together as part of the cast. It is well worth the purchase, and a shame to have lost this type of art in film; the innocence. Even if the population of the world enjoys being shocked, there is something about innocence that will always be on top, and without the pressure of trends of swearing, blatant sexuality, and explosives to fuel the box office sales. A movie that can inspire a smile and a good feeling from people is worth a thousand box office giants. Xanadu is one of the few that have not lost that ability, and can still maintain the feeling of being totally fulfilled by a story that is timeless.Read full review

I used to watch this movie a lot when I was a kid (It came out in 1980 I think). The "story" of the movie is not what makes this a great movie though. It's the soundtrack that makes this a movie to watch again. ELO has some great songs in the movie, and Olivia Newton-John sings a handful herself including the title song. I found myself remembering most of the words and singing along even though I haven't seen the movie since the 80's. There are many movies from my childhood that I remember being great, but then when I've watched them as an adult they've been a disappointment. Xanadu is NOT one of these. I watched it alone and then with my friend who is 40. It was more fun sharing it with someone else who hadn't seen it since they were young. If you've never seen this you may not enjoy it as much, but watch it anyway.Read full review
