Grease

You and you partner'd better shape up for your next funny couples fancy dress party by donning a couple of these impressive Grease outfits. One of the most famous movies of the late 1970s starring John Travolta as the cool bad boy Danny and Olivia Newton John as wholesome Australian Sandy, this was the romantic feel-good comedy featuring one of the most famous couples of the decade. With the backdrop of 1950s Rydell High school and the reprisal of a 'Summer lovin' holiday romance, it turned out to be America's most successful musical ever - in a league of their own - and was second only to monster shark movie Jaws during the same period. Even if you don't know the movie, you'll recognise the tunes - and probably the DIY couples fancy dress costumes too, drainpipe jeans, black t-shirts and leather jackets for the blokes while the girls wore long skirts with petticoats and bobby socks. Other notable characters in the colourful cast of Grease included candy floss pink-haired beauty school drop-out Frenchie with her ubiquitous neck scarf and the tough talking chain smoking Rizzo. A definite feel-good movie with songs that went on to hog the number one spot in the charts for months, making stars of the two leads.
