One of the best movie of all times. I think I have seen it over a hundred times honestly. I watch it when I am blue or having a bad day. It takes me back in time to when I first saw it when I was a kid. Thinking I want to be like Stephanie have a man like Tony admire me and fall in love with me. Its a classic yes. You have to have grown up in that era to understand the movie, Kids these days just don't understand how life was back then growing up in a strong catholic italian family and all. I Love this movie so much and I Love John Travolta when he was young and dreamy. Thanks Amazon for putting this out on Prime it makes people my age feel good.

One of the worst movies i have ever seen. This was not some moving story of self discovery or triumph over adversity. It was a movie about a selfish, single minded creep, who struggled to see beyond his own petty ambitions. There were several rape scenes that really impressed upon me how shallow Tony really was, and the casual racism displayed in this 'classic' makes Breakfast at Tiffany's seem...no, that's still garbage. Garbage is garbage, regardless of how you dress it up. The main rape scene is titled "The boys goof around".

Nostalgia..youth on the brink of realization.I saw it opening night..Travolta perfection on the dance floor...raw and bold..tall, endearing. It woke me up back then, and seeing it today ..reminiscing teased my imagination..I put myself there..alive with hope, no cares about anything but my own sexuality, the powerful allure of physical beauty ...longing for and indulging myself in recollecting my own hey day. I wonder if Barham, Travolta, the BeeGees experience this when they see it today ..2019...young love, lust, good times in bad times, and most of all, the people we were back then- agile, moving to the electrifying music with no inkling that the day would come when we could only dream of youth's vigor ...of losing the flawless physical image we would one day only yearn to recapture. This movie makes it easy. ..easy to, for a few hours, become a part of that world where the world was at our feet. Thank you ...your work on this music, this story, this film made a difference. Today I'm 70 but for a few hours, I'm 20.Life is too short, but your magic brought back a glorious, explosion in time. Marcia in Modesto

This is one of those movies that is a touchstone of a certain era that ,ay not hold up when you see it again. But Saturday Night Fever really holds up and is just a wonderful movie that has a great story and also has some moments of brilliant filmmaking (the dance sequence with Night Fever may be on of the best choreographed dance sequences I have ever seen. Brilliant filmed and executed that is easily equal to the MGM musicals in many ways).I watched the restored/revised edition and it is terrific. The film looks far better (though not perfect - such is the tragedy of the 70's film stock) and the excellent soundtrack sounds better than ever, and the soundtrack may be one of the best curated soundtracks in film history.I guess there two different versions (I had only seen the PG rated version) and this has a grittiness that is added (though definitely not for kids!).Yeah, this movie was such an unexpected hit, and has been often imitated and mocked. But the film, viewed in context, is pretty original. The story is not original. A kid born under a cloud, wants to escape his circumstances and realizes his life needs to change. But the execution here is what sets the movie apart.All in all, a real time piece capturing New York on 1977-1978, disco music and a culture. Well done. Worth watching.

I remember going to see this film way back in 1977. I was a wee-bit younger then! and so was the star of this movie himself : John travolta .This was his break out film after having spent years in our living rooms playing vinny barberino , a member of the sweathogs in welcome back kotter. For those of you who were teenagers , like me, when this film came out, and familar with that part of brooklyn, will quickly recognize many of the buildings and the general infrastructure that existed in brooklyn at that time. I was just in ft hamilton brooklyn in 2017, many of the structures look the same. The film takes me back to my youth , when I was running kinda wild and having a good time chasing girls and partying. But as with life, we get older, have responsibilities. I was 16 when this movie cane out, now I’m 55 ! . Anytime I return to New York, I can drive across the varrazano bridge and listen to the Saturday night fever CD as I cruise along and remember the days. Enjoy the film .....

Some film!!! Travolta is mesmerising, a sugar puff in Grease this film has a dark tone. As a kid I the 70s (born in 72) I remember the poster on my brother's wall, I remember the tunes. But I didn't know the story, this film deals with hope, family abuse, aspirations, hopes, dreams, religion, loss of faith, friendship, death, and even a disturbing gang rape . The dancing is merely the ONE thing he is good at, an escapism, adored by the ladies envied by the lads... It distracts him from the dull 9-5 . Honestly I applaud this film for dealing with so much, New York looks unsafe and grimy, a lack of opportunity, Travolta excels, not only in the dance moves but as an actor, very believable and although flawed very likable character Tony. An outstanding film.

The new Blu-ray edition of Saturday Night Fever is excellent. The picture quality is first rate but what really earns the release its five stars is the sound quality. During the dance scenes, the music really blasts out clearly, like you are listening to a CD of the Bee Gees. The sound I have heard on TV broadcasts or earlier releases has been flat and background in quality. This must be a definitive version. The 18 version is certainly not suitable for younger children but the dance scenes are definitely worth sharing with all the family.

loved the music and storyline, excellent film in its day, my young granddaughter heard one of the songs from the film and I told her it was in this film and said I would get it for her to watch, she hasn't seen it yet and I haven't watched it again yet, not since it first came out years ago.

A great movie brightened up on Blu Ray. The "extras" are mostly 10 years old from the 30th anniversary edition but there are one or two bits. The main thing is the transfer to Blu Ray is nice. Not had time to do an A B comparison with an older copy but first impression is good.

John Travolta gives a sensual and intelligent performance as the troubled Tony Manero - Brooklyn paint store clerk by day and undisputed king of the dance floor by night. Every Saturday, Tony puts on his wide collared shirt, flared trousers and platform shoes and heads out to the only place where he's seen as a god rather than some young punk.But in the darkness, away from from the strobe lights and glitter ball, is a tragic story of disillusionment, violence and heartbreak. Without a doubt, Travolta's performance made him a Hollywood legend, but 'Saturday Night Fever' is more than just a movie that defined the music and fashion of a generation. It's a powerful and provocative urban tragedy that carries as much significance today as it did in 1977.WHAT CAN I SAY?Saturday NIGHT FEVER is. Quintessential film about the Seventies'the disco craze that made Travolta an American icon (Best Actor nominee) and superstar as Brooklynite Tony Manero, a free-wheelin' Italian kid who loves to dance but doesn't know what he wants from life despite his talentIn one of the finest scenes in the entire movie, and certainly one of the most touching, Tony has lunch with an older girl (who later becomes his dance partner) and tries to impress her by acting mature. But his immaturity shines through--he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about half the time, and when he tries to act smart she counters his moves with true brainpower. In a way, this is the first time Tony realizes that women aren't as dumb as he thought they were.Saturday Night Fever is a far more professional film than one might expect, it has intelligence as well as entertainment, which is something that makes a more than just admirable achievement Directed on location with gritty realism by John Badham(((Saturday NIGHT FEVER))) is A working class tale but The movie's power is enhanced by the excellent acting and timeless music that together with a compelling story make this movie something special, not just another commercial product but a work of art, a true classic.watch it on Saturday NIGHT it will give you a FEVER...the FEVER will make you feel that"YOU SHOULD BE DANCING...
