Guilty Pleasure #1 - XANADU

I have no explanation for this one. Saw it as kid. Had a boner for Olivia Newton John after Grease.

It's actually a really ridiculous movie with cheesy animation from Don Bluth, an emasculated Michael Beck from "The Warriors", but it was also Gene Kelly's last movie.

The soundtrack always kicked ass...

I'd see it if they got ELO to do the music as well...

Wow...Greek muse helps some shmuck build a roller rink. How that one ever got past anybody I'll never understand.

But it does have one of the best soundtracks ever.

Oh right, I forgot...clearly the execs in charge at the time were doing the Tony Montana thing with mountains of coke and the Xanadu script on their desks.
