I saw the trailer for this movie at the Benson theater in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. You could feel the audience reaction when we realized that the movie was filmed literally outside the theater. People couldn't control themselves and broke out into spontaneous conversation and applause. I decided to return to the Benson to see the film when it opened there. The effect on the audience was electrifying.

i turned 11 in the summer of 77 so no going to any disco for me, but i loved music since i was 6 so i loved the soundtrack and got to see the movie years later because it was not suitable for young kids. Anyway i grew up with 60's and 70's music and my best days were in the 80s, so in the disco 2.0 era, and is because i grew up from a older teenager to a young adult in that decade, so those were my best days and i'm glad that i ws at the right time and place and age because the 80's were the best times the western world has ever seen. The 90's were also okay but from 2000 until now the world has gone insane and now i'm glad that i'm no longer a young dude, because i don't want to be a part of today's young people because they all are weak, woke, feminized, political correct idiots. So to hell with the modern world, i lived my best years in the best decades, and that was worth more than all the money in the world!

I lived in the city too. Queens. But I drove a taxi all over - I drove through the Bronx the night of the blackout. That was an experience. But I loved those pizza joints all over the city. I was trying to remember how much a slice was back then. A lot of the pizza places I know closed, and the new ones don't seem as italian, or as good. In the old days there was a fresh pie coming out of the oven every fifteen minutes. I never saw anyone eat two slices at once like Tony did in this opening scene.

I was 6 years old when the movie came out, those were last few years of 70's fashion style. I remember, mostly because of photos my uncles and other family members dressed like him during my Bday parties as a child. I remember staying alive soundtracks played even during my child parties. When 80's came, a lot of changes happened not just in the music culture but the fashion culture. Sneakers and Casual shoes quickly replaced those high heel man shoes and bell-bottoms pants were a thing of the past.
