1979, Directed by William A. Levey

Patrick Swayze’s first acting job! And what a job it was too, in this holy grail of disco movies.

The clothes and hair on display are nothing short of legendary. But no matter how bad it looks, at least it isn’t Xanadu…

Despite a cult following this movie remains unreleased for home viewing. There must be problems with the rights to it, or the original film has been lost, because it’s never been shown on TV either. (UPDATE: A low quality 16mm print was found and transferred to VHS, then DVD. You can order a copy from here, apparently.)

Favourite bit: Despite my fascination with the idiot who inexplicably fires a gun in a disco, it’s got to be the chap with the glittery beard.
