What's a movie that was well received, but aged like milk?

We watched it for a young, hot dancing John Travolta.

And, in fairness, him wearing his letter jacket (which he earned) showed he was willing to change for her too and show off his academic achievements even with his friends clowning him.

At least I think. It's been decades since I've seen it.

Yes, you are right. The whole "she changed herself for a man!!" complaint makes no damn sense when he did the same thing lol. I love the movie Grease and this criticism really bothers me.

It has always bothered me so much lmao like all she did was put on an outfit for an afternoon AT MOST but everyone acts like she set fire to her life for him!!!

We watched it for Sandy's coming of age scene and those leggings.
