No question, “Grease” is the far better movie.
But as the years have gone by, the trainwreck that is “Xanadu” has
developed quite the fan base. The big production number at the end of
“Xanadu” is still fun to watch (ELO after all!), even if the rest
of the movie may drag, and drag, and drag. 😊 Every now and then I
pull it up on YouTube and it always cheers me up.

For some unexplainable cosmic reason, many bad (at time of release)
movies get better, or at least much more fun to watch (and develop a
following) as they age. “Can’t Stop the Music” with the Village
People, Caitlan (Bruce) Jenner, Valerie Perrine & Steve Guttenberg
definitely falls into that category, as does “Moment by Moment”
with John Travolta and Lily Tomlin (a really unbelievable story line
and a really bad script!) Sometimes a bad—but fun— movie hits the
spot.
Any other nominations for the Bad/But Good category?

Agree. She was indeed memorable in those movies although Grease is
much better than Xanadu.

The sad exits continue…. Olivia Newton-John has died at age 73.
Not many film credits, but she was memorable as Sandy in
“Grease” (1978) with John Travolta and as Kira in “Xanadu”
(1980) which featured Gene Kelly’s final big screen appearance.
