Xanadu is one of my guilty pleasure movies, it is bad in so many ways, but it is good in as many ways. Gene Kelly made Xanadu magic, what other 75 year old dancer would co star in a movie with a pop star? none. He dances he sings he rollerskates. He was hip till the day he died, he even Was dance consultant for Madonna's 1993 "Girlie Show" tour at the age of 76. The music is great. The best scene in the movie is when they mix rock (the Tubes) and a big band, the stages come together, it is a delight. Xandau is pure fantasy and fun, the only message being dont give up on your dreams.
XANDAU!!!
XANDAU!!!
