But there was more to Danny than being a bad boy who danced. Inside he was romantic and kind and wanted a good girl.

And we all know that only good girls get the guy.

Cha Cha was such a dirty unladylike slut though.

But in order to get Danny Sandy had to go all out with the sexy clothes etc so maybe he was more suited to Cha Cha.

RIP Annette Charles and Cha Cha Digergorio. Sad I can see her face in my mind!

Now I'm sad about Cha Cha, but also my favorite movie of all time ever (that, unbelievably I never really thought about) is kind of ruined as I realize how much it promotes the whole 'good girls are the ones to marry' narrative.

Still, didn't we all really prefer Rizzo to Sandy anyway?

She always confused me, in my 8 year old head I couldn't work out why there was a (what looked to me) like a 40 year old woman at this kids dancing competition.

I now know none of them were even near their teens.

Rizzo got Kenickie in the end too. But she had to sing a sad song first, acknowledging that she was a ho Sad

A ho with a heart, therefore she was allowed 2nd prize.

I can never watch it again, can I?

Rizzo the ho with a heart. I like that.
I always liked Kenickie more than Danny anyway.

To be fair, Danny did meet her halfway with the sports jacket stuff.
Rizzo was supercool, and kenickie. Plus he offered to support her so think you can still enjoy it

The older I get the more I prefer rizzo to sandy, but I always had a soft spot for frenchy... Poor beauty school dropout with her pink hair...

Am sad that several cast have since died...

I liked Rizzo's song, I didn't see it as confessing to being a ho Grin I saw it as her standing up for herself, just like she did with the suspected pregnancy and positively comparing herself to more washy washy girls just waiting for life to happen to them.

And yes, sandy always annoyed me.

But I suppose both Danny and Sandy changed for each other and met in the middle. Though it seems much more reasonable for him to work harder at school and be faithful, than it does for her to dress more tarty, drink and smoke!

I reckon they got married, had a bunch of kids, and she made him give up his mates and the fags.

It also annoyed me that everyone thought jan was fat. And there is no way Marty and jan would have been friends.

(Rizzo)

There are worse things I could do,
Than go with a boy or two.
Even though the neighborhood thinks I'm trashy,
And no good,
I suppose it could be true,
But there are worse things I could do.

I could flirt with all the guys,
Smile at them and bat my eyes.
Press against them when we dance,
Make them think they stand a chance,
Then refuse to see it through.
That's a thing I'd never do.

I could stay home every night,
Wait around for Mr. Right.
Take cold showers every day,
And throw my life away,
On a dream that won't come true.

I could hurt someone like me,
Out of spite or jealousy.
I dont steal and I dont lie,
But I can feel and I can cry.
A fact I'll bet you never knew.
But to cry in front of you,
That's the worse thing I could do
