How good is this? One of the best films EVER

Having difficulty explaining its finer points to chocolate-saturated DS though. And DH has gone to the pub. Is it me?

It's great! Though I am sure whenever I've seen it before (many times) I have never seen the bit of the scene with Kenickie and Rizzo in the car before when she asks if he 'has something' and he does but it breaks because he 'bought it in 7th grade'. Am I wrong or has this been cut in the past?

I am enjoying singing along with the help of the subtitles

Oooh, missed that bit (am cooking "lunch" as well as watching it).

I bet DH'll switch it off when he gets in, no doubt some important boring programme will take precedence.

I can't complain as I am the one who says she "never" watches TV

My DH has kindly waited till it finished to watch his recording of Fringe I really enjoyed that!

I wish I could be stitched into those leggings at the end. Sadly though, it wouldn't have quite the same effect if I did it.

Back to the dinner then.

I know I am a square but I always feel uncomfortable with my dd watching this, when the message seems to be unless your loose, smoke and dress like a hooker, no-one will like you!! Still, love all the songs though!!

Yes, the sexual politics are a bit dodgy... It's a shame that to begin with, in that final scene, Danny does make an effort to be bit more respectable for Sandy, appearing in his letterman's cardigan, but then he can just chuck that off once he sees that Sandy has pimped herself up in leather. If I had a DD I would feel the same. All this went over my head when my friends and I used to act it out and sing the songs in school break times [nostalgic emoticon]

Have a nice dinner Tiger!
