XANADU 1980 (UNIVERSAL)

Easily my favorite musical, this 1980 film stars gorgeous Olivia Newton John as an Greek Muse who comes to earth to help a young man find his dreams and make them come true. Michela Beck is the young man whom she helps and Gene Kelly is a former musician who again finds his love for music.
For some reason this movie failed at the box office, and yet the soundtrack is one of the highest selling ever with music from Olivia, ELO and Cliff Richards.
If you happen to like musicals with a twist of fantasy thrown in check this one out, you might like it.
