Popular 80s Music

Collection includes "Saturday Night Fever," "Grease," "Flashdance," "Footloose" and "Urban Cowboy." "Saturday Night Fever" - John Travolta gives a sensual and intelligent performance as a local disco kingpin at the peak of his popularity. Once a week, after six full days of work in a Brooklyn paint store, Tony (Travolta) douses himself with Brut cologne, dons a floral bodyshirt, gabardine pants and platform shoes - and ritualistically prepares himself for "Saturday Night Fever." Through the influence of Stephanie - his more sophisticated dance partner - and Tony's brother - a disillusioned priest - Tony begins to question the way he views life and the narrowness of his perspective. The disco dance sequences and the Bee Gee's music make the film an accurate and absorbing barometer for the seventies' generation. "Grease" - "Grease" is definitely the word! John Travolta became the world's box-office king with his unforgettable performance as Danny Zuko in this film version of the smash hit Broadway musical about the fabulous '50s. Olivia Newton-John rocketed to stardom in her American film debut as the adorable and sexy Sandy who's determined to win Zuko's heart. The supporting cast boasts incredible performances from Jeff Conaway, Stockard Channing, Frankie Avalon, Sid Caesar, Eve Arden and countless others! Flashdance" - The visual and musical box-office smash "Flashdance" is the exhilarating story of Alex Owens (Jennifer Beals), a fiercely determined and beautiful 18-year-old woman, who works as a welder by day and dancer at a local bar at night. The film sparkles with the music of the '80s including the No.1 hit song sung by Irene Cara ("Flashdance-What A Feeling") and "Maniac" sung by Michael Sembello. We follow Alex's struggle to gain independence, find love, and realize her dream-to dance at the Pittsburgh Conservatory of Dance.

"Breakin'" -Three aspiring dancers take their best shot - and pop and lock - at the big time in this invigorating breakdancing phenomenon that inspired a sequel ("Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo") and features a cameo by Ice-T! Lucinda Dickey, Adolpho "Shabba-Doo" Quinones and Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers pump up the jam as a struggling trio of dancers - jazz for her, break for them - taking on a rival street gang in a professional dance competition. Packed with fast-paced moves and furious jives and featuring smash hits "Breakin...There's No Stoppin' Us" and "Freakshow On The Dance Floor," this heart-in-your-throat dance movie is a non-stop floor show of "excitingly staged...solid fun" (San Francisco Chronicle)! "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo" - Get ready for an "exuberant soul-train ride that bounces to the topsy-turvy beat of the street" (Los Angeles Times)! "Breakin' 2 Electric Boogaloo" captures the fun and flare of the most popular dance craze of the '80s with electrifying moves and non-stop music! Returning from the first film, "Breakin'", Kelly (Lucinda Dickey), Ozone (Adolpho "Shabba Doo" Quinones) and Turbo (Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers) combine talent and tenacity to save an urban community center from a greedy developer bent on building a shopping center in its place. The developer has city hall's approval, but the kids have heart. And to raise money to keep the center alive, the crew pulls out all the stops, locks and pops in a dance show that will either make - or break - their cause! "Beat Street" - Brash, bold and breakin' all the rules, this powerful and "gritty, streetwise musical" (L.A. Herald Examiner) stars Rae Dawn Chong and Guy Davis.
