Quotes:
Danny McGuire:
Kid can you imagine it?
Sonny: Imagine what?
Danny McGuire: A bandstand. Right over there in that corner. And a big band, like in the 40's
Sonny: Nah, nah, nah. Bandstands went out with running boards. Over there. A great rock 'n' roll band. This is the 80's!
Danny McGuire: Real smooth dancers... wild trombone... the band decked out in tuxedos.
Sonny: Six guys wearing electric orange... synthesizer... heavy precussion... electric guitar.
Danny McGuire: Lots of glamour. Everybody dressed in elegance and style.

Despite all of its critics, I still think this is the best movie ever made. What a great escapism fantasy. The music of ELO, the fantastic costumes, the overall Art Deco feel, the hair, the skating!!! If only the world was as positive and innocent as this movie. I've watched it over 100 times and still find something in it that I haven't seen before every single time I watch it. It is my treat to myself whenever my husband has a "boy's night out." Then I am the greatest singer and dancer in the world, this side of ON-J, of course. When I first watched it in the movie theater (4 times the first week it was out -- LOL!) I never realized what an impact it would have on my life.
