Utterly brilliant in every respect, an absolute masterpiece in the Golden Age of TV. Listen to the official HBO podcast after each episode, and then rewatch with a new perspective.

Congratulations to every single person involved in making this. It simply does not get any better.

Reduced a 56 year old man to a blubbering mess (not easy to do!). Loved every second of this wonderful movie....utterly brilliant tribute to 2 men that made millions smile and laugh. Fabulous Fabulous Fabulous.

Watched this as a 15 year old in 1977 at the local cinema - and like many of my friends it was a watershed moment in my life. Opened our eyes to a whole new world - nightclubs, disco music, women, dreams - there was a whole world out there which we;d never seen. In my small town, mobile discos sprouted everywhere - and we all wanted to be John Travolta....and it was one of the catalysts for me to leave home and explore the world.

Watched it again last night, and as a 50 year old it all came flooding back - melancholia obviously setting in because I felt like a 15 year old again - the memories came flooding back. And whilst some of the movie is obviously dated, it still after all these years gives a sense of joy, hope, youth and dreams. The opening scenes are timeless classics, the music is still sensational, and the film really does have some great characters and some brilliant sub plots.

Stil magic - a timeless classic, and personally probably the most influential film I ever saw.
