Guest C.H.U.D. Report post Posted February 7, 2003 Just watched Fever and Urban Cowboy a couple weeks back. Those are two of the worst, most pointless movies ever made. How they turned that guy into a star is mind-boggling. No story, no plot, no characters, no reason to exist. Heh, I kind of thought the same about Saturday Night Fever. I didn't like any of the characters, Travolta's acting was horrible, there was no real story. I didn't despise it, but I was left wondering why it's considered a classic? I guess it was a different story back when it was released, when disco was big. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted February 7, 2003 Both Saturday Night Fever and Urban Cowboy were about hooking into an underground cultural phenomenon and breaking it huge. The soundtracks sold them more than anything else. They capitalized on a fad and that's all they were really meant to do, but just enough good elements were sewn into them to get them decent reviews and notice at the time and it carries through today. I find myself laughing at both of them more than anything and I actually like Urban Cowboy better than Saturday Night Fever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Urban Cowboy has NO right to be 2:15. It's only got about 1:30 of movie in there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
