Saturday Night Fever

Saturday Night Fever  (1977) directed by John Badham


“While the strength of the production process is entirely absorbed in and exhausted by the end product, the strength of the action process is never exhausted in a single deed but, on the contrary, can grow while its consequences multiply; what endures in the realm of human affairs are these processes, and their endurance is an unlimited, as independent of the perishability of material and the morality of men as the endurance of humanity itself.” -Hannah Arendt
Tony Manero (John Travolta) escapes his Brooklyn blue-collar surroundings by spending his nights dancing to disco and meeting girls.  This classic is remembered for its signature disco style and Bee Gees soundtrack.
