Urban Cowboy

Think of the run Travolta had between Saturday Night Fever, Grease and Urban Cowboy. All three were major pop culture phenom movies with great double soundtracks of different genres. This one stands up better that I would have thought. Just watched it again for the first time in like 40 years. Good movie, great soundtrack. Great nostalgia. What more could you want?

I saw the movie for the first time yesterday 9/29/24 and I really enjoyed it. It’s really quite humorous at times. They are in crazy love with each other even during the worst of times. I honestly didnt know howmthenmovie would end. The riveting soumdtrack was awesome. I do remember working in a music store when the movie came out and everyone bought it. Now i know why.

One of my all time favorite movies. I know it word for word. The soundtrack is pretty good as well. I have watched it often in the last 20 years.

This movie would never be considered a nominee for Best Picture from the Academy. However it has such a feel good inspiration with a really great tribute to the 80's- When the cowboy look was in fashion and as always John Travolta ruled our hearts and the dance floor.

The overall plot felt predictable, characters were shallow, but the dancing and mechanical bull stunts stole the shoe exactly as they were intended to. Much of the middle of the movie felt dragged out and unnecessary.

Lived down to Blobbo expectations. Way too long, too.

still remembered as one of John Travolta's earliest comebacks Bud Davis played by Travolta is an urban cowboy raised in the countryside but works in the big city of Houston in the oil industry he goes to a bar called Gilley's Club complete with a bull riding attraction and meets a woman named Sissy played by Debra Winger instantly they have an attraction towards one another but when she decides to take an interest in the bull riding Bud won't allow it because she's a woman there's also a rival in the form of Scott Glenn testing Bud's patience and unwanted attention towards his wife Bud then gets injured on the job and it seems that Sissy has had enough of his temper next to his old gender norms the movie shows how good Travolta can be given the right material, Winger plays terrific opposite as the love interest wanting her own ambitions, this soundtrack is soft fitting the cowboy setting, and shows how even a cowboy has to learn to swallow his pride in order to still keep what he loves most the last 15 min maybe could've been shaved off and they did squeeze a bit too much near the climax but the movie is still proof Travolta has the acting chops for drama and romance this was also the movie that set the stage for the Western and country fad in cinema and the music industry 'Saturday Night Fever' is better in many respects but this is still a good staple on Travolta and Winger's resumes

It's a good John Travolta classic. Great soundtrack, decent plot.

Una historia simple que jamás pasara de moda, una fotografía admirable y una musical insupurable

Classic! Travolta and Winger- Bud and Sissy— loved every second.
