I was a kid when those movies came out and I saw how people's behaviors changed, I'd never seen anything like it and haven't since
Saturday Night Fever (1977) was not a "cultural phenomenon". I was a teenager in those days. The movie only parroted what was already going on. We were already wearing the long hair, the flared pants, the shoes with heels, etc. It was the film music that became the phenomenon, because it fit so well into the existing culture. In 1974 songs like The Hustle, Love to Love You, Disco Duck, Get Down Tonight, Love Rollercoaster, Boogie Fever, Disco Inferno, Shake Your Booty, Fifth of Beethoven were changing the culture, a few years before SNF was released
Same with Grease (1978). Music was captivating, but we werent running around with slick back hair, leather jackets, and driving old model cars. In fact, Grease piggy-backed off a huge hit movie and TV show of the day. American Graffiti (1973) and Happy Days (1974 to 1984), because of the resurgence of the late 50s, early 60s music
However, Urban Cowboy did create a massive trend. The western wear, boots, the bull rides, pickup trucks, live band in clubs with huge dance floors, etc became a instant thing everywhere

Hes listed even before someone on the poster. Also in 1997 they re-released the film with new posters. Notice anything?

The first 2 I could see more of an appeal to some but he won an Oscar for the 3rd as best actor and I think was a very good film.

Yeah all it did was take advantage of the current climate. Still a great movie but not culture changing by any means.

Not sure how others claim this was a cultural phenomenon. And American Graffiti represented that era better and by far was a greater movie.

I like the other two movies but this was one to me was alright. I really like JT but for me one of his weaker films. Again just for me.

People might dismiss this but nobody ever talks about Anthony Michael Hall's run before he was 18.
National Lampoon's Vacation
Sixteen Candles
The Breakfast Club
Weird Science
And says John Hughes wrote Ferris Bueller for him and offered it to him but turned it down with parents agents over money and that severed his relationship with John Hughes.
