Early Signs of Fascination
The next two movies that come to mind go hand in hand because of the people that starred in them. I know it should probably be one entry at a time, but it can't be cheatin' if I made up the game.:) "Grease" and "Two of A Kind" are my next choices. Both movies starred Olivia Newton John and John Travolta as the star crossed lovers. Being a young kid at the time, I think I assumed on some level that these two were a couple because, in my limited exposure to movies, they were in two of them. I think these movies are so significant to me because they were my first true acknowledgment of a couple. I also wanted to BE Olivia Newton John at one point as her Sandra Dee persona. Even as I got older I always identified with the struggle Sandy had to be accepted despite being somewhat of a "goodie goodie". Of course, now I can look back on it and realize that "Grease" was by far the superior film, however, both still hold special place in my hearts regardless.
