GREASE & GREASE 2
January 9, 2018  | By David Bianculli

Encore, 8:00 p.m. ET

 
Grease is the word, or at least the 1978 movie, that has charmed more than one generation of audiences. It was adapted for film from the slightly more raunchy Broadway musical, and hit casting nirvana by pairing future film icon John Travolta with Australian pop star Olivia Newton-John. Encore is showing the oft-televised Grease tonight, but is following it with the much lesser-seen sequel, 1982's Grease 2, starting at 9:53 p.m. ET. Taking over the male heartthrob role is Maxwell Caulfield, but the new Sandy later emerged as a film icon in her own right: Michelle Pfeiffer (pictured).
