16th JUNE 1978

On this day in America, in 1978,  the movie Grease opened in cinemas for the first time.



The film, directed by Randal Kleiser and which is based on Warren Casey and Jim Jacob's 1971 musical of the same name, follows the love story of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta as they make their way through the ups and downs of their final year of high school.

I love this movie. Not to the point where I watch it every year on the same day, but it is a good movie to watch. I 100% recommend it to anyone who has not seen it. And also offer you a slight sarcastic comment of "and why have you not watched it?!" Because it really is one of those classic movies, where you remember the lines to the songs because they're easy and catchy, you know what happens at the end but you still yell at the bad guys and cheer for the good guys.

I think that everyone should watch this movie. Even if you aren't a fan of musicals, just watch it for the hilariousness that is young John Travolta.
