think? How old were you?

Early 2000's I seen it and was at my relatives house and was shocked my dad knew the movie. We all sat and watched it. I was probably about 11. Then I seen it in 8th grade during music class and I knew all about the movie and the teacher was impressed.

I first saw it when it came out in the summer of 1978. I loved it! I was nine years old and my father took me to see it. Years later I asked him if he was concerned about the grown-up content with nine-year-old me sitting beside him. He said that he wasn't because he knew it would all go right over my head.
I have seen it countless times since then and it's my second favourite movie, after The Wizard Of Oz.
I saw it when it first came out. I was very disappointed because they jerked some of the plot around and dropped some of the songs and replaced them with modern songs. Also, I felt that the actors were not only too old, but they seemed too "self-aware".

Saw it in like 1st grade~was a fan ever since!
shareI was 16 or 17 when I first saw it, and was so horrified at all the adults playing kids MY age that I didn't enjoy it at all!
I only learned to appreciate this film when I was much older, in my thirties like some of the cast.
Sometime in the mid to late 90s when I was in elementary. Probably 6 or so. Thanks to the 40th anniversary screenings I have also seen it on the big screen as of last night. Surprised no one is on here talking about that.
shareI saw it in '78 at a theater, with my girlfriend, Jean. On the way home I mentioned that the title song, "Grease", was anachronistic and didn't fit in with the other more period-authentic-sounding songs. She wanted to argue about it and was really pissed at me the rest of the afternoon. So glad I didn't end up married to her.
shareYou were right. I admire you for taking a stand.
shareI admite you, as well, even though I like it a lot and bought the record. I was re-released in 1998 in theatrs and I saw it there. I also sdawe it on TV (my first time), 1980s, and it's been often re-released as if it were new..
shareI didn't say "Grease" was a bad song. I only said that it doesn't sound like a 1950s song, and as a result sounds out of place in a musical set in the 1950s.
shareYou're right about that..."Hairspray"'s "Without Love" had that same problem,too, grat sdong, but also set around the same early 60s time period,too!
