re: Saturday Night Fever

Great movie at the time, and to me it still very much stands the test of time. Certainly raw. Travolta was outstanding in his portrayal of Tony Monero.

Someone brought up Urban Cowboy. Also a great classic movie, raw and Travolta was epic as Bud.

Realize this, John Travolta changed pop culture twice with these 2 movies. Discos and Honkey Tonks both exploded after each were released. A whole new mainstream fashion was created both times. This kind of phenomenon does not exist anymore. The internet, cable TV, netflix, etc have produced so much entertainment content that movies no longer have the impact they once did.
