, and - in the comments - people are stumbling all over themselves with enthusiasm.
Me, I never understood the attraction.
Worst decade ever. Bad music, bad hairstyles, bad clothing.
I'm already having nightmares about this movie.

There was a Grease sequel, it was set in the 60's and starred that guy from TJ Hooker, the T-Birds were bikers and this Austrialian (I think it was Sandys cousin) came to Rydel and wanted to hook up with the TJ Hooker guys girlfriend but he was a nerd but he decided to become a biker to win her over and eventually he did and became friends with the TJ Hooker guy.

Oh and Grease is to females what any Rodney Dangerfield movie is to males.
I've got the Record, Tape, CD, and Video. I just have to go get it on DVD now.

Could be worse. Could be a disco movie, set in the seventies...

The 80's rocked. Of course I graduated HS in 92, so I was pretty young in the 80's. But that was my childhood.
Gebiv, A disco movie could be cool. Especially if it's done like Boogie Nights... Anything the see Heather Graham Nekked!

It was NOT the worst decade. In 1980 I was at Ole Miss. We wore pink izod oxford shirts and straight leg levis with penny loafers. VERY PREPPY. I Did roll my long hair pretty curly, but it looked good! No disco, just Animal House music. It was awesome! so don't be dissing the 80's!!
Merry Christmas btw!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, but I just received a copy of James Lileks' book "Interior Desecrations."
This is documentary evidence that the 1970s were the
worst decade ever.
Anything that produced Elton John, Jimmy Carter, the Bee Gees,
and Bell Bottoms as a fashion trend is not doing much right.
The Eighties at least had Reagan, New Wave, Punk, and
The Empire Strikes Back.

Maybe it has something to do with my upper class redneck upbringing - but I like 80's hair on women. Something about the long haired feathered look.
And in Grease, how can chicks in tight leather be a bad thing? Maybe the title was meant to imply the amount of lube needed for wardrobe?

I'm with J. Fielek. The 70s were the worst. Everyone looked sloppy. Blech.

Ok, I admit it. I'm just bitter about the 80's because, when my hair gets more than a couple inches long, it starts to kink up a little, and it absolutely will NOT feather.
Made me an outcast, it did.
That, and I rejected the assertion that synthesizers and electric drums were musical instruments.
