John Travolta is just perfection! So Graceful , I was 9 years old when I watched this and till this day it’s still one of my favorite movies, love all the songs!
Watching this just makes me feel so heart heavy. I was in 10th grade when this movie came out, and it was everything. It defined how we dressed ... danced ... cut our hair ... wore jewelry ... our music. I cannot express how much this meant to me at 14 y/o, and through all of high school. So, so fortunate to grow up in this. And this dance scene is absolutely gorgeous ... with the actors expressing so much emotion. That beautiful dip that says so much in perfect profile and then spinning -- nothing else mattered in the entire world at this moment. I can't explain how enthralled this still makes me feel ... and to yearn to go back from 61 to 15...
Yep .... I'm right there with ya .... I was a little younger, but ..... this scene takes ya back to the 77-78 school year in an Instant .... I wish we could go back .....
I was 29 then and enjoyed a lot and danced even more😅...besides fly fishing the world I still dance to this music.. without a doubt my favorite of them all
You explained it perfectly - I was 14 myself when this came out. Went to see it with my friends at the Loews Albemarle on Flatbush Ave. in Brooklyn. Being from Brooklyn, this movie meant something to us. Life changing movie.
The Tavares version is one of my favorite songs of all time and the two of them danced beautifully to it. No disrespect meant to the Brothers Gibb, but I grew up in the Disco Era and have to admit the faster pace of the beat is my preference especially when you dance the Tango hustle. Mr. Travolta and Ms. Gorney nailed it. Marvelous performance!
Have you watch the whole film? The relationships in it are truly awful, with the exception of a few moments like this. The 70s were an appalling time for many women (and some men). Love was no more genuine then than it was in 1940 or 1880 or in Roman Times. Relationships are complex and romance exists in all ages if you want to find it.
1:36 He"had" it, people... He was really feeling it and that's how it has to be at the dance. I am a former dancer and John's movements (shoulders, for example) were more than following a choreography. He was so elegant! And his eyes .... I remember the first time I saw this scene in the 70's and I never forgot it. Disco has to come back! From Argentina with love. (I apologize for my english)
Exactly, great that you can see that, not everyone can. Lucky enough to have that happen twice in small clubs in cuba and Brasil with a natural born dancer.. all night.. nothing like it.
Una muestra de lo que fue finales de los 70 y sus costumbres y q pudimos conocer a los q no habiamos nacido en esa epoca gracias a esta espectacular pelicula!!
God, the way he looked at her - 2:00. You knew he was gone at that point, love is such s beautiful thing. Even though I’ve seen this a zillion times I could watch over and over again especially that part ❤️❤️❤️
2:11 Got me. I seen the movie in 77. I love the way they were connecting to each other. The way they were spinning around. It's such a beautiful scene. Great camera work and great film making. They were falling in love with each other at the same time.....🥰🥰🥰
Did you dance disco when you were 17? And still? In 1977 when this movie came I was just 3 I may have danced a bit already, but I'm not sure if I can call it disco. But I do know that I really want to learn to dance disco. I'm 42 now and I'm more interested in learning new things than ever before. I think we never lose the learning ability, I rather think with practise we may get more and more skilled and fast learners. So I'll begin with the disco and dance to Bee Gees, which I love so deary :-) Greetings from Norway, where the ocean wind blows over our mountains today.
i was 19 when the movie came out My sister saw it ran home and told my mom she gotta see the movie . She said John Travolta looked just like me . Not now pushing 60 no way no how
That is the song I attribute to the first girl I ever fell in love with when I was 11.5 years old in 1978. I don't know if I've ever been in that love since.
John Travolta was made for Tony Manero role, He makes this movie work. Also the cast built around him does it. Anybody else movie would have bombed, plus he filmed most of this around the time he lost his girlfriend and lost so much weight due to it.
I have watched this one more than several times because it was my favorite in the movie. The casting was perfect. They both were only as talented as armatures were in those days. Yet, they were so smooth and perfect together.
Disco music is very beautiful. And those of us who enjoyed the 70's and 80's were very lucky to have been there. But as you contend with the present age, you can find disco appreciation groups on the internet (sometimes they get together and have dances). Some young people will show up or you can hold your own dances. Get a motorized mirror ball and a high powered sound system. Get a bass woofer for your car. Look around the internet for disco lists. Listen to them all------SOS Band, Dan Hartman, Chic and all the others. Rate them. Listen to the remixes---some of them are even better than the originals. Some were one hit wonders. Others had talent that ran for years. And look at all the youtube videos, disco movies and concerts, PBS specials. You have a lot of enjoyment to look forward to and experience------Bill from Pennsylvania
Those years _flew_ by. I can still remember trying to find two seats together for my wife and me inside a packed theater, ironically enough, on a Saturday night in January of '78.
this song brings back so many great memories of partys me & my friends were invited too it was a great time of dancing and being with someone you liked and wanted to be with 🙂👍
Tiempos hermosos aquellos y esa música, la película con John Travolta son inolvidables, nunca se va a comparar con ningún otro género de música, rap y reaggeaton son horribles.
The scene the movie it’s embedded in history and is immortal . Timeless can watch over and over and over again and still love it 😍 childhood memories 🙌🙌
Best romantic part in movie cinema! Tony knows deep down inside he can never have Stephanie cause she portrays herself as a sophisticated business woman and Tony a street guy, blue collar worker who knows he doesn’t have a chance in hell with her but all that time they spend together, the more he respects her and that’s when he starts to fall in love with her cause she is different from all thee other girls he’s been with, a classy woman and not some slutty disco chick & that’s why this song goes PERFECT with this scene!
This was my favorite song from this movie it made me cry thnking of my college years I had in the late 70's and into my personal work life that started in the early 80's living in NJ and going to discoteques. I was dragged once by a few friends to go to Staten Island across the staten island bridge from Perth Amboyt that was once of lifetime experience going to a NY like discoteque even just in State Island. NY was NY no matter if it was Brooklyn, Staten Island or the Bronx. never mind the city of NY itself. Brooklyn seemed the heart of it. I have also the behind the scenes of this movie the full DVD uncut movie and als the directors narration and it was very interesting listening from the director how they shot this movie and that they used most of the people that danced from that neighborhood in Brooklyn.
I didnt know she was already 33 years old when she danced in this movie. Definitely the cougar. Thats why she appeared to be so worldly. Now it makes sense. He was only 24 to her 33....more than a woman, indeed!!!
Try watching the ending by rewinding it back and forth when they are spinning, it will actually get you dizzy lol.. What a great song and movie, John Travolta has to be one of my favorites, they do not make movies like these anymore, Greece was good, and Staying Alive which is part 2 of Saturday Night Fever was okay, but nothing beats the real deal Saturday Night Fever, and add the Bee Gees to the mix makes a great soundtrack...
