Product Description:
Movie DVD
Amazon.com:
A wimpy remake of an already anemic movie (the 1947 Rita Hayworth vehicle Down to Earth), this glitzy musical from 1980 improbably stars Olivia Newton-John as a heavenly muse sent here to help open a roller-derby disco. Gene Kelly is mixed up in this well-meaning but goofy effort to fuse nostalgia with late-'70s glitter-ball trendiness, and he looks just plain silly. Directed by Robert Greenwald, the film doesn't even work as decent kitsch.--Tom Keogh

- Still don't have it
I ordered this DVD on May 25 along with an item from another seller. I received the other product, a hardcover book, in less than a week.It's a month today since I placed the order and I still do not have it. I contacted the seller who told me it could take up to 6 weeks to arrive and to contact again if I hadn't received it by June 29. I'm thinking a hardcover novel shouldn't take 1/6 the delivery time of a DVD. I only rated the product one star because I assumed it would register as an error ... Read More

- "Cheesy Wonderfulness"
It is every bit the "cheesy wonderfulness" that I remember from my childhood.Rollar skates, Olivia Newton-John, and random musical numbers-how can you go wrong with a movie that has all of those?If you need a little fluff and fun, then you have the right movie!
Rating: - Xanadu
This movie is about one of the Greek muses inspires an male artist to open up a nightclub called Xanadu.But complications arise when she finds herself falling in love with the human artist which is against the rules. The music and special effects are great.
Rating: - fun and cheesy
I had seen Xanadu only once back in the early 80's.I know, I know...it's a cheesy movie, but the music is amazing, and the movie is fun to watch.It's an interesting concept, and in my mind, a cult classic.The picture re-mastering and the 5.1 sound is pretty good.
The bonus soundtrack audio CD sounds WAY better than the Japanese import I had from a few years back.
Rating: - Awesome movie! It's one of best from the 80's
Xanadu is one of the best of the 80's. Thank you for putting this on DVD. The transaction was smooth. I love doing business with Amazon I find things here that you can't find anywhere else!
