The Saturday Night Fever and Staying Alive DVD's were really enjoyable to watch. I threw a 70's theme party for my husbands 50th birthday and I played the DVD's while I played other Disco music during the party. We watched Staying Alive later that night and got a kick out of the styles.

Saturday Night Fever was filled with dancing and energy. It is a video time capsule to the Diaco scene. Filled with the music of the Bee Gees, this film made you dance and still does.

John Travolta made his starring debut as Tony, far away from his Barbarino character from Welcome Back Kotter (season one of Kotter is on DVD). Tony lived for his club dancing, until he made a girl and fell in love. In Travolta's first starring vehicle, you can see the star power coming through

In the sequal to Fever, Staying Alive, Tony is now a dancer auditioning like a gypsy for Broadway dancing roles. The film starts with song "Far from Over" over the credits, foreshadowing the overlong and overdrawn sequel.

Travolta, whose dance was a marvel in Fever, seem to prance around like a deer lost in the headlights. The script written by Sylvester Stallone (who also directed) tries to do a dancing Rocky, but this vehicle tanks on the ropes. The dancing seem uninspiring and over rehearsed.Tony does take the lead on Broadway, but loses the films audience. We tend not to care in the long run

The highlight of Alive is Steve Inwood, in the role of Broadway director. He has a flair with his intensive to the play. His role is in a few scenes of the movie, but he steals everything when he is on the film.

I give this double feature three stars for fever and None for Alive

You can't beat the soundtracks in these movies. John Travolta was a great dancer and these movies, especially Staying Alive, did not get the credit it deserved. Finola Hughes and Cynthia Rhodes were amazing and their dancing was the best. I'm a fan...always will be...

The movies were great. Both in wonderful condition. We all really enjoyed it. Brought back a lot of memories. Thank you.

Two great John Travolta movies in one, how can you go wrong. Quick shipment.

Never received this item, contacted seller who told me that it must have been lost in the mail. My account was credited. Would not recommend this seller.

You MUST love John Travolta for having the nerve to
squeeze" in those tight pants of the '70s!
the purchase went very smooth, the dvds are in perfect condition!
as for the movie itself - do I have to say more!?!

Watching, exercising to both movie soundtracks of "Saturday Night Fever" and "Staying Alive" with John Travolta would definitely make the change of many lives.

If you danced to one of the songs "per day", any individual would not need any "weight loss" (OTC-over-the-counter) medications/supplements, etc.

I watch this & having lived those days, it's amazing how "Music was the Cure" to seemly about everything. Overall, great health!!

Many obese persons would never have weighed in heavier than the normal mascular body-mass of which one is structurally built.

It's a "fun" dancing experience, may help with depression.

I would send a major recommendation that work out to just one of these songs by dancing (when you have a few moments alone, or not) daily.

That's all, amazing results would come about naturally. (Possibly try to treat your body as what you expect from it-"overall terrific health"). What would it hurt to try?

Great movies -- even the sleeper Stayin' Alive. While the second was not the best, John Travolta is Hot. Lighting up the screen with his amazing dancing ability. Glad I got it!

I have never seen Sat. Night Fever so I cannot comment on it. But for the people dissing on Stayin Alive: I like that movie. I gave a 4 star review because it's john travolta and i think he is still a star. Stayin alive is a good movie. it may not be as good as sat night fever but it is still pretty darn good. My favorite part is at the end when he says "Do you know what I wanna do? Strut!"
