I’ve seen it once and meh. It was okay. But my favorite musicals growing up were Fiddler on the Roof, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Cabaret….🤷🏻‍♀️

Also loved Fiddler on the Roof and Cabaret and especially All That Jazz, rewatched recently and the final number is amazing.

I’m currently obsessed with Queen of the Universe, even though it’s already been cancelled. If you like drag queens, you’ll LOVE IT!

And how to climb over a ladder while doing jazz hands. Important skills here!

The most trouble we ever got in was when we dragged my grandmother's ladder out into the driveway, and my sister climbed up top to do that bit.

This was Michelle Pfieffer's first singing role, until years later when *The Fabulous Baker Boys* came out, then she was on the talk show circuit about how FBB was her first singing role.

Fabulous Baker Boys is another favorite. But definitely not her first singing role! I think she expected this to fade into the past, utterly forgotten. And then there was HBO. And millions of little girls lost their damn minds over it

HBO Summer 1983! Saw it 200 times at least!

The first time I saw this was on a Betamax, of all things!

I was in high school and a HUGE Stray Cats fan when this came out. More than once I was mistaken for this guy, that never happens anymore.

This may be blasphemy but I prefer Grease2 over Grease.

Such a great movie, I’m up there with ya, loved it since seeing it in the theaters back in the day and numerous times since, always get some laughs when chilling with friends and listening to my playlists and Charades or Girl For All Seasons start playing!

It’s Uncle Sam who’s asking, so your mother will approve.

I’ve not seen this film since the 80’s. I didn’t really care for it that much, but my sister loved it. Somehow I remember so much about it.

“Uncle Sam is calling, your mother will approve”. Not manipulative at all.

We missed the date rape all while being patriotic. Those were the days.

WHAT? First, hand over your Gen X membership card. Next, go fucking watch it right now. Better than the original.

I was vaguely aware of it and saying "better than Grease" is really a low bar for some of us.

Really? That’s got to be up there with Caddyshack 2 and Blues Brothers 2000 for the most disappointing sequels of our generation.

M.C. was one of the few people pictures I had on my bedroom wall. All the other people were wrestlers :D Otherwise I liked nature stuff as decoration.

VH1 used to run this movie constantly in the early 00s. If I happened by it while channel surfing, I had to.stop and watch for a bit. It's like passing a bad car wreck on the highway, you can't resist looking.

I was like 7 or 8 and this was me and my sister's absolute favorite movie because it showed on HBO 5 times a day. We would act out all of the scenes and dances, and sing all of the songs even though we had no idea what "reproduction" or "let's do it for our country" meant. It was just inappropriate fun.
