    I saw the trailer for this movie at the Benson theater in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. You could feel the audience reaction when we realized that the movie was filmed literally outside the theater. People couldn't control themselves and broke out into spontaneous conversation and applause. I decided to return to the Benson to see the film when it opened there. The effect on the audience was electrifying.

    Only Travolta could look this cool carrying a gallon of paint.

    I grew up in Africa, in the now country Zimbabwe. The 70's was when i was 18, my father owned a club and this is the music we listened to as well as black funk and soul. Incredible time.

    For those who don't know, it was John's real sister who served him the two slices and his mom was the lady waiting for him in the paint store... I saw this movie in the Bronx with my cousin, we loved it so much we snuck in to see the next showing. After the movie, it was hard not to be like Tony Manero... Aaah the good ol days.

    Travolta's strut/swagger in this opening scene is iconic. He just oozed cool charisma in this legendary flick.

    I can't believe how long ago all of this was in fashion. I loved this era because it was unique. The dancing was unbelievable. It kept us from getting in trouble.
  • The film, the colors, the grain, the lenses, the angles, creativity, freedom. When things had a soul and were not programmed.
  • @mayhewfisher62
    Tony is so utterly conscious of himself, how he thinks others are perceiving him, and just complete assuredness that even toting a can of paint, he's a player.

    One of the greatest movie soundtracks ever!! The Bee Gees rocked!
  • The Bee Gees turned this song up, John Travolta dancing to it turned this song up even more, both the group and John made this move and themselves a classic šŸ˜ŒšŸ’–.

    Travolta owned that street! His screen presence was mesmerising.

    I was 17 years old when this movie came out, I was living the disco life. I am 63 years old now but that was me at 17, the hair the cloths the gold chains. Man I had a freakin awesome time so innocent so much fun and everything just came sooooooo easy.

    The Bee Gees, John Travolta, and SNF kicked off the whole disco era. Thatā€™s legendary.

    I was 16 when this came out, my girlfriend and I went to see it at the theater 7 weekends in a row. We were OBSESSED!! The music just blew us away!

    Brilliant opening. So much can be read into Travoltaā€™s character in those few minutes. The sync of his walk and paint can movement exactly to the beat foreshadows his dancing and ability. His swagger and his still boy to man. Thatā€™s 1st class directing.
