I loved them both, but I also watch a lot of indie films...my sister is really into older classics like Breakfast at Tiffany's (or anything with Audrey Hepburn) and this is kind of embarrassing but last week I came across this documentary on the tv about the making of Saturday Night Fever, and watched it.

I was too young to see it when it came out in the theaters (of course saw it several times later) but learned that John Travolta had several creative differences with the director; the studio wanted them to edit the use of the F-word but the guy financing it originally refused but did so when it ran on tv years later.

Also, Travolta was mad as they filmed his big solo dance only from the head up, so they changed that which I have to agree with. No matter if you loved or hated Disco, that was a great dance scene.

Of course they mentioned the Bee-Gees as they released the album to coordinate with the film...okay, enough of me...sorry! I could talk movies all day long.

Have you at least seen Gone with the Wind?
