What made it so appealing? Was it John Travolta?

honestly, i watched the movie just recently. my boyfriend introduced it to since he is a grease fanatic. basically, i love the songs in the movie. i sing with them. the story is not that complicated but i really like it a lot. probably another factor is that i get to see olivia newton john so young and thin. of course, this is the movie that put john travolta into stardom.

I think it's a little bit of both. I think its danny zuco's attitude and john Travolta's looks i mean he was very very hot. Not so much now though. But grease is one of my FAVS.

I think it was a combination of all that you mentioned. They happened to cast the right people for the roles, wrote some great songs and a fun script. I think John Travolta and Olivia Newton John played a big role in its success because there was no way I was going to watch Grease 2. I never did and I never will and I believe it was a flop. It would be interesting to see how it does on Broadway. Now I won't get to see it on Broadway but if I were lucky enough I would get to see the Toronto cast. I still don't think it would be the same without JT and ONJ.

I think it a mixture of everything you mentioned, I LOVE John Travolta and have ever since I saw "Grease" as a kid, I was about 2 years old when it cam out and I fell in love with the movie and John Travolta at that young of an age, it is to this day my favorite movie of all time, I know it was the actors and the parts they played along with the whole romance storyline and the great music.

Well John Travolta and Olivia are excellent and awesome. I watched it thrice and wish to watch again, never bored of it.
