[QUOTE=Scarlett67] But the soundtrack (to the movie) is great! (Full disclosure: I paid to see Xanadu in the theater TWICE when it came out – back when seeing a movie twice was a big thing (at least for me, as a kid in a family without a lot of disposable income), and you had to do so in the theater because VCRs weren’t really common yet. But I was a 14-year-old girl, their target demographic! I know better now . . .) [/QUOTE] Yeah now you just pop in your DVD of Xanadu, close all the curtains and turn out the lights so the neighbors won’t see and sing along. 😛 ---

My first feud and I come in third. I can live with that. I was --\> \<-- this close to putting down Hairspray instead of Legally Blonde. I talked myself into Legally Blonde since I think it was more of a commercial movie success than Hairspray. I also thought of Xanadu first, but decided on South Pacific since I thought a Tony winner would garner more votes. I guess my lesson is I should stick with my first thoughts and not talk myself out of things.
