August 8, 2015, is the 35th anniversary of the release of Xanadu – a movie musical starring the beautiful Olivia Newton-John, the great Gene Kelly, and the unforgettable Michael Beck.
Xanadu is one of those cult classics that movie-goers still love to this day, despite bad reviews and even worse box office revenue. Xanadu ushered in the 80’s with its winning combination of romance, fantasy, music, and roller skates.
Okay, so the roller skates and disco music are a little dated, and the dialogue can be cornier than Iowa and Nebraska combined, but there is still a lot to love. Enjoy the title track from the movie, which reached No. 1 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Israel, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and The UK.
