1. Andy Gibb....

Sigh....

2. Michael Beck, who ended up playing Sonny instead of Andy, had...

An amazing resemblance to him. I don't remember if Andy could act but it wouldn't take much to be an improvement on Beck in this.

3. A bit cheesy but..

Gene Kelly and Olivia Newton-John combined with it's soundtrack still makes Xanadu one of my favourites to watch for fun.

4. That's a great number.

Always loved that. The soundtrack is excellent. IIRC it was released prior to the film and generated a lot of excitement, particularly the song "Magic." I didn't think much of the film, but the music is great.

6. It was a 90 minute music video but so what?

It's not the greatest movie but it's fun and not as bad as people say it is. Believe it or not this is the movie that introduced me to Gene Kelly. I began watching his other films and have been a fan of his ever since.

8. Like I said it's one of my favourites. I grew up

watching Gene Kelly's old movies and always had a bit of a crush on him I think.

Olivia was increasingly very popular back when I was a preteen/teen and I could still listen to her sing all day.

I find light fun movies and musicals help me relax and de-stress and goodness knows I need a whole ship load of that lately.

9. I liked Singing in the Rain too

Gene was so talented and very handsome too.

I've always liked Olivia Newton John as well.

10. That was one of his best although my favorite dance scene...

of Kelly's was in "It's Always Fair Weather". The man could even dance on roller skates and make it look natural.

5. I loved that... so very 80's! Wonderful!

The shoulder pads! The hair! The makeup! The attitude! (We were all about that!)

7. Oh man this takes me back

I loved this movie as a kid and still have a soft spot for it.
