Poster for movie "Xanadu" - Olivia Newton-John's face with blond hair blown back in front of a futuristic-looking set of silver columns.

Xanadu

Recommended by: Jen Howell

Release Year: 1980

Runtime: 96 min

Genres: Fantasy, Music, Romance

The Pitch: A must-watch for fans of Olivia Newton-John, ELO, roller skating, or movies that go all out with production and costume design. Some people say it's so bad it's good, others say it's just bad, but for me I've loved this movie with all my heart (admitted flaws and all) since I saw it at 5 years old. Also notable as Gene Kelly's last film!

Ratings
