I remember when that movie came out.

I was young enough to enjoy the music and the movie, and not quite old enough to totally understand all the words to certain songs. (Greased Lightning, in particular)

It was one of those movies that you fall in love with and enjoy forever...kind of like Star Wars. You can see it so many times that you know all the lines of every actor. (Star Wars and Grease are the only movies I can really do that with...altho there are whole scenes in Dances With Wolves that I know too. Seen all three of those movies a zillion times...)

I've seen a couple of productions of Grease...mostly high school plays. I went to a few showings at the high school I graduated from when they used to do Grease every year for a few years. Funny to watch my old science teacher playing the part of the gym teacher (dont know if the school used the original play or the movie version)

In the movie, I used to hate the character of Rizzo...didnt like Stockard Channing for some reason. Now she's one of my favorite characters because now I'm old enough to really appreciate what an excellent singing voice Stockard Channing had in that movie.

I wonder if I still have the vinyl records of the two Grease albums...I had the John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John version AND the original score from the play in the 1950s (or was it in the 60s?) I wonder if we still have those now.

I should go see if I can download them on iTunes! Now I have an urge to listen to Sha Na Na and Frankie Vali.
