Musicals are always hot. Now throw in John Travolta & Olivia Newton John...a good story line...a popular era in time (the 50's)...awsome characters...fast cars...close teenaged friends...and a high school setting.....you've got yourself a classic hit!
I also loved "Jesus Christ Superstar"...."West Side Story"....and "The Wizard of Oz".

For the same reason "American Graffiti" and "Happy Days" were popular. It's an idealized view of teen life in the 1950s (assuming one is not black). The story is reasonably good, given that it was originally a Broadway musical, and the songs excellent - the songs added for the movie were also very good.

Its just a plain fun movie with lots of pretty good songs in it, nice dancing and great couple with John Travolta, and Olivia Newton John, what's not to like. Hits the spot for a lot of us.

It's the movie version of the dime store paperback romance novel. It's fantasy of good girl who gets to be bad and it works out OK.

I love life in the 50's that's why I like it! It is a really good movie. My favorite is the end!

It's due to the fact that "Grease is the world!"

Talented actors and good songs! It was on today and I watched it again for the twelfth time. Travolta was hot back then.

It's one of those movies people can relate to. We were in school we had our friends and our "groups" of people. Plus the music- who doesn't like music.

i like it bcuz it's funny and the characters remind me of the people i went to high school w/ and even though it's set in the 50s it's pretty universal.
