It's Greg's turn to pick the film this week and he takes the opportunity to screen Robert Greenwald's roller disco XANADU for Jackie. Topics of discussion include the film's camp factor; the incredible music by Electric Light Orchestra, Cliff Richard, and The Tubes; a debate on whether it's better than GREASE; the animated interlude by Don Bluth; and how it makes for a fitting final bow from the great Gene Kelly. The team is joined by Greg's fiancée, Molly!
The continuation of our "Personal Prints" series where Jackie and Greg venture off the Sight & Sound “Top 100” list to explore films that are special and/or formative to them.
