Travolta has had a great run. I can’t think of any movie of his that I didn’t like. ‘Michael’ (where he’s an Angel) is so sweet it makes your teeth ache. Also loved him in the one with Kyra Sedgwick where he’s the Village Idiot, gets struck by lightening, and is suddenly a genius.

You’ve got lots of fun movies/Travolta Factoids to share with your son. ;)

Saturday Night Fever, for it being ‘just a dance movie’ really had some important Life Lessons hidden throughout. I always felt sorry for Tony. You just KNEW the guy would never get out of the Bronx... :(

But now he’s SANTA, so that’s a total Life Upgrade, LOL! :)
