I liked him in the gangster film where he got shot going to the bathroom. I forget the name of the movie - it was well done. what was "Micheal" about?

#1 - Grease


Pulp Fiction - crazy gangster movie - top cast

Michael - angel back among us humans

I don't think there is a movie he is in that I don't like. In fact if I'm flipping channels and suddenly drop in the middle of one of his films, I will end up watching it.

Pulp Fiction is that gangster movie with Bruce Willis as kind of the hero.

Michael is about a rather crude person who says he is in a reality an angel.

Yes thank you....... "Pulp Fiction" that is actually a GREAT name that I should have remembered. And I vaguely remember John Travolta with angel wings. I may have just seen a movie advertisement about it. I used to go to movies like that and pay serious money for the experience. Today I get Prime and 2 others and there are more movies than I have time to watch. Many are average, but some are excellent......like "Territory" a present day Western like "Yellowstone" but filmed in Australia. "Queen's Gambit" is very good. "Ragnarok" is a good Norwegian sci/fi film. "Cowboy Bebop" is good and combines humor and sci/Fi and action. "Sense 8 " is good with a complex plot.

Pulp Fiction. Vincent Vega....

I have to give it to the man… three of his movies started some really cool social trends. Maybe he was just riding the wave and saw the trend coming, but…

Urban Cowboy
Grease
Saturday Night Fever

He lives around here. I seem to remember him coming to one of his openings at the Barnstorm Theater. Not one of his better movies though. Extremely bad. The Fanatic .

There were 2 movies that I liked "Phenomenon" & "Saturday Night Fever".

He's a good actor I'm just not that big of a fan. I actually thought face off was the best.
And yes he does live or has a home in Ocala, he owns jumbowl Air, and yes I'm sure my spelling is not correct but it's an airport in Ocala that he owns and there are several houses there. He flies in and out I'm sure part of it has to do with horses, I have been to the half mile drags there. ( 1/2 mile dragstrip, speeds reached over 200 mph by street legal automobiles ), his home is really cool, he flies in and parks his jet in a hanger at his home.

My 1st cousin played Travolta's double in the movie "Michael " . He still gets a Christmas from him all these years later.

Nice to hear.

And, he can dance.

.... and smells like cookies.

Love Travolta! All movies except Pulp Fiction. Didn't like that one.

I worked on Saturday Night Fever and for those who are Travolta fans he was one of the nicest and most profession actors I ever met.
That movie made a ton of movie and was made on a shoestring budget.

DonnaNi4os 02-20-2025 10:05 AM

Didn’t he play an angel in Michael? It was ok, not my favorite

Especially with Princess Diana.

And he dances even when he walks.

Every now and then I look up the dance scenes from "Pulp Fiction" and "Michael" to watch on YouTube.

I love the line in "Michael" when he says, "I'm not that kinda angel."

I remember dragging Mr. Boomer to see "From Paris with Love" because the title made him think it would be a chick flick and he did not want to go. :) That movie was fun -- but, as I recall, Travolta did not dance in that one. (sigh)
