It is on Turner Classics now, this is such a feel good movie.  Great music and fun dancing.  This is the original that is showing with Ricki Lake and Devine

I bought that. Back when music wasn't trashy.

LOL, I only listen to music in my car on Siriusxm.  I listen to older music and I never have to worry about inappropriate language or subjects.

I only listen to oldies .. but I guess the new music is quite inappropriate ....

I've seen the remake with Travolta and Walken.  I had rented it and after watching it, I immediately watched it again--I liked it that much.  Great story, music, acting--their dance together was super.  Don't think I've ever seen the original.

Wasn't Travolta in drag? Isn't Divine a drag performer? Surprised the movie hasn't been pulled for being inappropriate. Children might see.

We are talking about the older version ...

The older version stars Divine who is a drag performer. No difference. Either drag is evil and tries to influence kids or its not.

Surprised there is no protest of TCM!
