Saturday Night Fever (1977)

I know it isn't exactly a film you may expect me to post about on here but I felt I needed to voice my opinion on this film. Saturday Night Fever is a favourite of mine for its rebellious style, drama, costumes and yes the dancing. This film was a hit with its fantastic Bee Gees soundtrack and toe tapping dance routines. It is vulgar, but in its own little way it is charming. It reminds me of the film Fame (1980) quite a lot with all of the dancing and drama.

A Few Things I Love About Saturday Night Fever

1. How effortlessly cooooool it is I mean the beginning with John Travolta walking down the street with a tin of paint and an effortlessly cool walk is just perfect.
2. The suit. Yes the "everyone's heard of it, everyone's seen it and everyone will still be talking about it in 20 years" white suit. With a garish collar and bell bottoms what could be any cooler than this suit. Its the kind of suit that you either only see in this film or on a drunk uncle impersonating John Travolta (without success) at any of these events, weddings, stag nights, hen nights, 18th birthday party, 21st birthday party, new years eve etc. Yet they wont wear it at any of their special occasions because it will embarrass them (fair, I think not).
3. The Bee Gees need I say more. They are to cool for school.
4. (**spoiler**) When Bobby died I cried my eyes out.

My Saturday Night fever Pet Peeve

The ending oh the ending. They end with the repulsive "let's be friends"

I sat there like...

Then the credits started to roll and I was not a happy little munch-kin


Then for no apparent reason I just burst out crying


That ending was just disappointing  The entire film was built up and then gone within a second, they waved goodbye to romance and with it went my soul...goodbye

In the end I rate this film a ........................7.0 on the abbyometer
