What I don't get is, why the hell did it take this guy seven years to get treatment? And what was going on in the meantime?

Another Movie Adapted into a Broadway Musical

(...it's Xanadu).

I wonder if it'll go full circle and be turned into a new movie a couple of years from now.

I had the hots for Olivia Newton John back in the day, and I was also an ELO fan, so Xanadu the movie didn't bother me much. But I don't know if I'd like it that much now. (Olivia still looks hot in "Grease" though.)

Me, too, Mike. I sat through Xanadu several times, just to see Olivia all aglow on the screen. [Cool] And I've always been a Gene Kelly fan.

Somewhere, I still have a mint condition magazine/comic book combo on that movie and its behind-the-scenes photos.

Somethingawful, hands down greatest fo... second greatest forums in the universe.

No matter what anyone says Xanadu wasn't that bad. Starring the late, great, beautiful Pan Pacific Auditorium R.I.P.

I actually liked Xanadu, except for Michael Beck who should have been shot and left for dead...he would have given a better performance as a corpse.

I had a 16mm print of it once I sold to an independent cinema in Texas for their late shows when they couldn't get a print.

Fine music....but really, without Livvy or Gene, what's left but for the music?

Take some celebrity faces and put them on common folks bodies. This is some very good Photoshop work, and very clever.

Xanadu featured the first animated work (that I am aware of) of Don Bluth after he left Disney to form his own animation company.
It also featured the Tubes in one segment.

XANADU is one of my great "guilty pleasure" films. When I want to astound someone, I just run the last 15 minutes of that film, starting with the final roller skating sequence. It just keeps getting stranger and stranger and more and more fun.

The animated sequence just comes out of nowhere and really makes no sense, but that's part of the beauty.

It also leads to a great trivia question: Name 2 movies where Gene Kelly dances on Roller Skates. (Xanadu & Its Always Fair Weather)
