Saturday Night Fever

Tony Manero (John Travolta's most iconic role) has an unsatisfying job at a paint store but on weekends he's the king of the dance floor at the local disco. There he finds Stephanie, who represents what he is looking for: a better lifer and a way out of Brooklyn. Familiar Disco music from the Bee Gees and other artists help make this a quintessential film of the '70s.

Nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role (John Travolta) at the Academy Awards. Nominated for Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical and Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical (John Travolta) at the Golden Globes.

"These are among the most hypnotically beautiful pop dance scenes ever filmed...Travolta gets so far inside the role he seems incapable of a false note; even the Brooklyn accent sounds unerring...At its best, though, SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER gets at something deeply romantic: the need to move, to dance, and the need to be who you'd like to be. Nirvana is the dance; when the music stops, you return to being ordinary." - Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
