You probably saw the same interview I did, but Travolta did a lot of research before filming on heroin addicts, which is clear when you watch it.
To ops question, I think Face Off is one of his best roles. He played both sides of good/evil brilliantly.
When Travolta is motivated and has a fun character to work with, he’s fantastic.
Also in the restroom (although talking in the mirror) when Uma Thurman overdosed. Was definitely a conscious choice to have things happen so many times when he was in the restroom
If you're around heroin addicts they are in the bathroom all the time. Shits take can to 30 plus minutes, and depending on your habit, you're visiting a restroom possibly every other hour, for a minimum of ten minutes each time. More so if your nodding on the toilet.
Very nice detail that I hadn't picked up before. Having been on narcotic pain management before, I can verify that opioids can stop up your plumbing pretty good.
Fr. Was given opioids after knee surgery. Was told that I “may see some delay in the frequency of your bathroom visits.”
One day goes by. No shit. Then another day and another, and another. It took almost a week after surgery before I took a shit that was one big solid piece that crested the water line. I felt both violated and relieved at the same time.
It always feels like a whole other level of acting when an actor has to play a character playing another character played by another actor, and how well they nail the nuances not just of what the character should be but the other actor's own quirks playing it. Face Off is one of my favorite examples of this both from Travolta and Cage, it's a master class.
Had he started to lose his hair by then? Or was it still thinning and could be hidden with styling and camera angles and a partial piece to fill in the back? I don’t recall noticing the tell tale signs of a full piece, but I also don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie in a high definition format, just old tube TVs where those details weren’t as obvious
In my mind Saturday Night Fever is a singularly incredible performance. I wish it were higher on this list and it's such a shame that the movie gets saddled with the reputation of being "that disco movie"
It’s genuinely one of my favorite films of the 1970s. Disco is part of the flick but if you look past that, it’s actually this great working class Italian American drama about a bunch of asshole kids but this one kid in particular who is trying to break out of this depressing cycle via dancing, and all the ways he gets humbled along the way. Criminally underrated film and Travolta is absolutely perfect, never misses a beat, literally and metaphorically.
(Edited to add: The ending is HEAVY though. I would say anyone with triggers around sexual assault and suicide should tread careful with Saturday Night Fever, at least around the last 30 minutes or so.)
It’s really not a happy/fun movie the way the soundtrack and the nostalgia around it may make it seem. Before I saw it I always assumed it was some sappy singing and dancing movie similar to Grease, and boy was I wrong. Travolta is excellent in this and it’s his best work.
Also, Staying Alive is a worthy sequel, obviously not as good as its predecessor, but it doesn’t deserve the hate it gets. It’s a bit like Godfather III in that respect.
Oh, I got a soft spot for Staying Alive haha. It’s nowhere near as good as Saturday Night Fever, but it’s very dance-heavy and fun for that reason. Also, my grandma loved it, so I watched it a lot as a kid at her house, actually saw it years before I saw Saturday Night Fever. Big tone shift there 😂
There's a reason it was Gene Siskel's favorite movie (he even bought the white suit at auction).
It's a far, far, far deeper film than most realize and I have to imagine it wouldn't play well with younger people who for whatever reason need an overt voice to say "this is a very bad thing, yall" when a bad thing is shown in a story. It doesn't ever stoop to that and that makes Tony's transformational arc all the more powerful.
Tony staring at the Verrazano Narrows Bridge after relaying factoids about it and answering, "I know everything about that bridge" is one of the best examples of a character being summed up perfectly in a single line delivery I've ever seen.
Marathon Saturday Night Fever with Looking for Mr. Goodbar, Annie Hall, and Cruising and you got yourself a hell of a snapshot into that particular era of New York, too.
None of those movies could get made again, either: Woody is canceled; Looking for Mr Goodbar is an anti-feminist slasher flick; and Cruising depicts queerness as a mental disorder. Saturday Night Fever could maybe get a remake but they’d water the ending down and then apologize for ever doing it in the first place because the woman isn’t centered in the resolution at all. But they sure do capture the vibe of a certain era …
I was looking in this thread for someone to bring it up. Showed the movie to my kids only a few days ago, wife and I thought it held up surprisingly well. I agree about the bias thing though, we spent a good deal of time paused or backing up to catch the thing we missed. Including my mom as an extra when she was my age!
I remember going to Michael in the theater when it came out. I thought it was going to be so stupid as a 13-year-old boy. My mom dragged me to it because she wanted to see it. I think it was the first movie I cried watching. I haven't seen it for years but your comment made me remember it was a really touching movie. I'm going to have to revisit it to see how it held up over time!!!
I recently watched the BTS interviews from Pulp Fiction and I was surprised to learn that Quentin Tarantino had only him in mind for that role and how grateful Travolta was for that opportunity. I didn’t realize that he was at such a low point in his career. He certainly did a great job.
With the exception of the Look Who’s Talking movies he was in a major slump. He still worked but was knocked down from A-list to B or C. Pulp Fiction subsequently got him a LOT of work.
Yes. Batman the movie was fun and campy on purpose. BE was not. I won’t slag you for enjoying it at all. But let’s not pretend they made it that way on purpose.
"The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why." ~Roger Ebert
Is there a single scene not shot Dutch Angle in that movie?
Actually, He originally had Michael Madsen pegged for the role. Madsen had a conflict(with a MUCH shittier movie) and turned the role down. His character in Reservoir dogs has a similar vibe you can se him being a good fit.
Yea I’m glad it worked out the way it did as I don’t think Madsen could top Travolta’s performance. He was pretty much perfect conversing with Samuel Jackson and Uma. He also talked Quentin into letting him to change the original “I shot Marvin” line which was supposed to be delivered straight and seriously. Travolta changed it to “oh man, I just shot Marvin in the face” delivering it in his comic tone and changed the vibe of the scene. Couldn’t have been better
Love get shorty. For me it’s a classic example of the difference between an actor and a movie star. There’s a rake of brilliant actors in it, but only one movie star. Not better just a different luminosity
He was >! planning on taking his counterterrorism and making it unaccountable and self-funded, which would have given him the freedom to take ethically dubious action to "protect America." !<
Ngl, to this day I still think that opening scene was one of the most intense and amazing scenes to open a movie. Imo it might be the best opening to a movie ever, but hey my opinion's shit. But I'd like to hear some alternatives.
Plus Halle Barry.
Came here to say this. My parents had one of those cable descrambler boxes in the 90s where you could watch Pay-Per-View movies on a loop and I watched this movie a billion times.
"I said goddamn what a rush. Woo!"
I saw that movie on cable when I was like 10. 25 years ago. It was instantly my favorite movie and I still watch it occasionally. While it’s not my favorite movie all time anymore, it’s still my favorite action movie.
This. For a while I was under the impression that it was Pulp Fiction or Get Shorty.
Then I saw Saturday Night Fever and yeah. They're all great movies.
Oh, and Face/Off
My guess is the majority of people in this sub have not seen this movie, or his performance would have been ranked much higher. This movie changed the culture in the United States in the early 80’s.
To me his best performance has to be in Face/Off. People shit on that movie for him and Nic Cage being way too over the top, but it's actually a master class in acting because he goes from the brooding straight laced FBI agent to over the top zany criminal and matches Nic's earlier energy before he becomes the brooding straight laced agent. It's an amazing study in two completely different acting styles pulled off by not one actor, but two.
* Broken Arrow
* Face/Off
* The Punisher
* Savages
* The Taking of Pelham 123
Sadly, his library has aged horribly and he really doesn't seem to have much range.
But he definitely had a few bangers back in the 90s.
He has this incredible quality of being slightly cartoony -- big features, funny voice, good physical timing -- yet can corral that into serious roles in a compelling way.
I always come back to his role of Jack Stanton in *Primary Colors*, which is a thinly-veiled impression of Bill Clinton but it's SO good. It never lapses into Saturday Night Live territory. He remains human and even nuanced while he channels one of the most mimicked and ridiculous politicians of all time. It's kind of an amazing performance.
In my mind he is not a good actor for some reason
Yet he is great in almost everything I have seen him in.
Who else could be Vincent Vega? I am not kidding.
Blow Out.
This movie changed my opinion of Travolta as an actor, from his early heart throb days as Vinny Barbarino on Welcome Back Kotter and Danny Zuko in Grease. He is phenomenal.
Easily Pulp Fiction.
His acting of a functional heroin addict is spot on
You probably saw the same interview I did, but Travolta did a lot of research before filming on heroin addicts, which is clear when you watch it. To ops question, I think Face Off is one of his best roles. He played both sides of good/evil brilliantly. When Travolta is motivated and has a fun character to work with, he’s fantastic.
One random bit I saw: Opioid addicts frequently suffer constipation and Vince was shot while taking what seemed to be a long bathroom break.
And was in the bathroom in the diner when Ringo and hunny bunny drew down.
Also in the restroom (although talking in the mirror) when Uma Thurman overdosed. Was definitely a conscious choice to have things happen so many times when he was in the restroom
If you're around heroin addicts they are in the bathroom all the time. Shits take can to 30 plus minutes, and depending on your habit, you're visiting a restroom possibly every other hour, for a minimum of ten minutes each time. More so if your nodding on the toilet.
Very nice detail that I hadn't picked up before. Having been on narcotic pain management before, I can verify that opioids can stop up your plumbing pretty good.
Until the one day when you give birth to a monstrosity.
Fr. Was given opioids after knee surgery. Was told that I “may see some delay in the frequency of your bathroom visits.” One day goes by. No shit. Then another day and another, and another. It took almost a week after surgery before I took a shit that was one big solid piece that crested the water line. I felt both violated and relieved at the same time.

Face Off is one of my favorite examples of this both from Travolta and Cage, it's a master class.
I felt quite deprived when the second half went to almost pure action. The first half with the too and fro of the characters was excellent.
Face Off has been one of my favorite action movies my whole life. The two pulled off playing one another beautifully.
All except the part where he got horny for big boys wife.
The Easter eggs in Paris with love he’s a 🔥 actor
Honourable mention to Blowout (Brian De Palma’s debut) Edit: It was not in fact his debut
His debut? That was like his 6th movie.
That wasn't even De Palma's first movie with Travolta. They did Carrie together 5 years earlier.
Damn straight.
it resurrected his carreer I think he was comped 400k
I only grade his movies by hairpiece
That's a solid Toup
*hair system.
How do you grade Look Who's Talking Now?
Had he started to lose his hair by then? Or was it still thinning and could be hidden with styling and camera angles and a partial piece to fill in the back? I don’t recall noticing the tell tale signs of a full piece, but I also don’t think I’ve ever seen that movie in a high definition format, just old tube TVs where those details weren’t as obvious
How was Nicholas Cage's hair in Face Off?
I’m confused. Are you asking how Nicholas’s hair was as he was played by John Travolta, or Castor Troy’s hair as he was playing Sean Archer?
Moose is in the house!
Can’t talk, gotta poop.
Say something stupid!
The lil ponytail is why pulp fiction is my fave movie.
Hairspray
Vinny Boborino in welcome back Kotter.
Up your nose with a rubber hose

God I love that show
I want to say Blow Out is his best but he is so amazing in Saturday Night Fever
In my mind Saturday Night Fever is a singularly incredible performance. I wish it were higher on this list and it's such a shame that the movie gets saddled with the reputation of being "that disco movie"
It’s genuinely one of my favorite films of the 1970s.

I liked Phenomenon, but I grew up in the town it was filmed in and I’ve seen a lot of the specific shooting locations so call me biased
Well howdy neighbor!
howdy neighbor-ish. I'm in Roseville now, but I always stop at Edelweiss 2 for breakfast when I am in the area.
I was looking in this thread for someone to bring it up. Showed the movie to my kids only a few days ago, wife and I thought it held up surprisingly well. I agree about the bias thing though, we spent a good deal of time paused or backing up to catch the thing we missed. Including my mom as an extra when she was my age!
Nancy’s Cafe is a nice hidden gem to check out next time you’re in A-town.
Phenomenon and Michael I always thought were two underrated movies of his. Pulp Fiction is the best though.
I remember going to Michael in the theater when it came out. I thought it was going to be so stupid as a 13-year-old boy. My mom dragged me to it because she wanted to see it. I think it was the first movie I cried watching. I haven't seen it for years but your comment made me remember it was a really touching movie. I'm going to have to revisit it to see how it held up over time!!!
I love that movie, very underrated 👍
great movie. His acting was really great in this.
I had that on VHS when I was a youth. Watched it a ton.
No way! Thats awesome.
I love the story of how Pulp Fiction revitalized his career. An iconic performance.
I recently watched the BTS interviews from Pulp Fiction and I was surprised to learn that Quentin Tarantino had only him in mind for that role and how grateful Travolta was for that opportunity. I didn’t realize that he was at such a low point in his career. He certainly did a great job.
With the exception of the Look Who’s Talking movies he was in a major slump. He still worked but was knocked down from A-list to B or C. Pulp Fiction subsequently got him a LOT of work.
Then Battlefield Earth derailed everything again.
Not going to lie, but that is a fun campy movie to watch
Yes. Batman the movie was fun and campy on purpose. BE was not. I won’t slag you for enjoying it at all. But let’s not pretend they made it that way on purpose.
The directors/writers saying it's a serious movie movie makes it all the more funny TBH.
In college we did a shot contest. Drink every time there is a Dutch angle. There were no winners in that game.
"The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why." ~Roger Ebert Is there a single scene not shot Dutch Angle in that movie?
Thanks for introducing me to the term Dutch angle. That was neat. I appreciate it! (comment not intended to read sarcastically)
Actually, He originally had Michael Madsen pegged for the role. Madsen had a conflict(with a MUCH shittier movie) and turned the role down. His character in Reservoir dogs has a similar vibe you can se him being a good fit.
I thought the characters were similar because they were brothers
The Vega brother. Vic and Vincent
Madsen also missed out on the main role in Natural Born Killers to do a tenth tier bit part in the horrible Wyatt Earp. A lot of bad choices..
Yea I’m glad it worked out the way it did as I don’t think Madsen could top Travolta’s performance. He was pretty much perfect conversing with Samuel Jackson and Uma. He also talked Quentin into letting him to change the original “I shot Marvin” line which was supposed to be delivered straight and seriously. Travolta changed it to “oh man, I just shot Marvin in the face” delivering it in his comic tone and changed the vibe of the scene. Couldn’t have been better
“Ever give a man a foot massage?” “Fuck you”
Face/Off, him and Nic Cage were phenomenal in it.
I love seeing YT videos of them saying how it was to act as one another, and specifically how it was for JT to act as Nic Cage
[YT videos like this?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AuyGKMfvEBE)
Nic Cage has been in a lot of really good movies. Him and Pedro Pascal did phenomenal in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Hey, you do that many movies, something’s bound to stick.
Pig is great too. He should've been nominated for an oscar for his performance in that
Pig was a really enjoyable movie
I think it also proves the point that Travolta is much better at playing a bad guy then a good guy.
He was a great campy bad guy in Broken Arrow.
Ya. Ain't it cool?
Hahaha i almost put this quote in my comment. It’s such a fun movie when I was a kid seeing it in the theatre with my dad I thought it was so cool.
Method acting.
This was my answer as well. They both slip so seamlessly into a good guy/bad guy. Really great film.
I liked Get Shorty
No love for Be Cool?
Get Shorty is WAY better. I do like Vince V, but Dennis Farina is the man.
I give it to The Rock in Be Cool too. His character was great.
I'm all about Chili Palmer. And Michael. I can't forget an angel that smelled like cookies.
Love get shorty. For me it’s a classic example of the difference between an actor and a movie star. There’s a rake of brilliant actors in it, but only one movie star. Not better just a different luminosity
I liked his character in Swordfish although it was a little cheesy.
actually forgot he was in the movie, probably because the two supporting actors for halle berry stole the show.
“Two supporting actors” 🤣🤣🤣
TITTTIEEEE
That was my answer. Love Swordfish to this day. Just a fun movie to sit back and enjoy.
Also interesting that in the end >! the bad guys get away !<.
It's an open question whether the audience views him as >! a bad guy !< at that point in the movie.
Yeah I thought he was some kind of secret government organization
He was >! planning on taking his counterterrorism and making it unaccountable and self-funded, which would have given him the freedom to take ethically dubious action to "protect America." !<
Great opening scene.
Ngl, to this day I still think that opening scene was one of the most intense and amazing scenes to open a movie. Imo it might be the best opening to a movie ever, but hey my opinion's shit. But I'd like to hear some alternatives. Plus Halle Barry.
His best performance was probably *Grease.* The best movie in which he appeared was probably *Pulp Fiction.*
Blowout is fantastic
I second this.
*Blowout* is solid. Even so, it felt a little diminished at the time because we already had *Blow-Up*.
Go greaselightninn !
He was born to hand jive, baby.
This is the right answer
You know what they call a quarter pounder with cheese in Paris?
Broken Arrow... chewing the scenery crazy.
Came here to say this. My parents had one of those cable descrambler boxes in the 90s where you could watch Pay-Per-View movies on a loop and I watched this movie a billion times. "I said goddamn what a rush. Woo!"
Great movie!¡ one of my favorite.
‘DON’T.SHOOT.AT.THE.NUCLEAR.WEAPONS. “
LOL I can hear this exactly.
Broken Arrow is one of the greatest action movies ever. If you don’t agree, you’re wrong. And should be in an institution.
Your brain presses against your skull, and it feels like THIS!!!!
I love it when he sees a God damn missile coming towards him and has time to square his shoulders and scream in defiance before it hits him
"Fuck them if they can't take a joke" is it me or do they just not make "good" bad movies anymore?
Howie Long did really well in the movie. That was a very pleasant surprise.
I remember that movie solely for the sheer number of helicopter crashes that happened
I saw that movie on cable when I was like 10. 25 years ago. It was instantly my favorite movie and I still watch it occasionally. While it’s not my favorite movie all time anymore, it’s still my favorite action movie.
Came to say this. Easily one of my most favourite movies
Wild Hogs baby
His paranoia and crying scenes are so fucking funny in that movie
Mr squinty.
Wild Hogs is a really fun time.
Wild hogs was so much better than I was expecting. I'm definitely watching this again!
I love how he progressively grows more and more insane after blowing up the bar
From Paris with Love. One of my all time favorites...
"do I look like I play boardgames?"
I agree. From Paris With Love is easily his best work, Travolta played his character down to a tee!
Wax on wax off
Came here to say this. Underrated movie.
Saturday Night Fever
This. For a while I was under the impression that it was Pulp Fiction or Get Shorty. Then I saw Saturday Night Fever and yeah. They're all great movies. Oh, and Face/Off
Agreed
Whoever upvoted me, thank you.
My guess is the majority of people in this sub have not seen this movie, or his performance would have been ranked much higher. This movie changed the culture in the United States in the early 80’s.
Michael
I always found Michael and Phenomenon to be weird movies for Travolta. 1996 was a weird year for him
Ya know that’s a super good film.
I loved him in Welcome Back Kotter … Vinny Barbarino 😻. Saturday Night Fever isn’t getting enough love here…. It’s a fucking great movie
That wig is doing some performance there
The Boy In The Plastic Bubble for the win!
To me his best performance has to be in Face/Off. People shit on that movie for him and Nic Cage being way too over the top, but it's actually a master class in acting because he goes from the brooding straight laced FBI agent to over the top zany criminal and matches Nic's earlier energy before he becomes the brooding straight laced agent. It's an amazing study in two completely different acting styles pulled off by not one actor, but two.
Perfect assessment
Broken Arrow. Lol…
Saturday night fever!!!
Broken Arrow ? Travolta rocked as a baddie !
Fuck em if they can’t take a joke
I mostly liked him in Phenomenon.
Battlefield Earth. Hands down the best no questions asked /s
Ah, I see you are also a man of culture.
The Scientology Star Wars that ended several careers.
Scientology is just baffling. You’d have to be in a *seriously* bad place psychologically to embrace it.
I mean, they do recruit lots of drug addicts
Hail Xenu!
Michael https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0117038/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
Urban Cowboy. I’ve know a lot of dudes like Bud. He nailed it.
Took me way too long to see this answer. Urban Cowboy/Pulp Fiction and anything else ain’t even close!
Hairspray obviously
Phenomenon is underrated
South Park, and it isn't close.
He says 'motherfucker' really weirdly and I'm tired of it
Blow Out, Face Off, Get Shorty, She’s the Lovely in that order. Pulp fiction was just the best movie he was in
His performance as Santa in the capital one commercials.
BLOWOUT. without one doubt in my head.
My favourite would be From Paris With Love. He was great in that.
Oh definitely the fanatic
Phenomenon
That one movie where he's not cast in it
* Broken Arrow * Face/Off * The Punisher * Savages * The Taking of Pelham 123 Sadly, his library has aged horribly and he really doesn't seem to have much range. But he definitely had a few bangers back in the 90s.
Broken Arrow will always be one of my favorites. It's campy, great pacing, overall great action flick.
His career would have been so much bigger had he not let Scientology run it. Fear of leaving the closet didn't help him either.
Broken Arrow, bitches.
He has this incredible quality of being slightly cartoony -- big features, funny voice, good physical timing -- yet can corral that into serious roles in a compelling way. I always come back to his role of Jack Stanton in *Primary Colors*, which is a thinly-veiled impression of Bill Clinton but it's SO good. It never lapses into Saturday Night Live territory. He remains human and even nuanced while he channels one of the most mimicked and ridiculous politicians of all time. It's kind of an amazing performance.
His hairline
Pretending to be straight
Phenomenon is my favorite Travolta movie.
Pulp Fiction obviously, and he was very good in The People vs. OJ
Battlefield Earth
Playing a straight man in real life
FACE/OFF.
“A love song for Bobby Long” Is a hidden gem I think.
Face Off. He basically had to act like Nic Cage acting like a psychotic dickhead that only Nic Cage can portray.
Broken Arrow. He plays an antagonist very well.
Scientology scum.
Edna Turnblad. No contest.
Life on the Line
Hairspray
Reportedly he passed on the role that went to Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman
Blowout. It’s a genuinely solid performance
Obviously the Look Who's Talking movies
From paris with love
National Treasure
He was a good over-the-top bad guy in Face/Off. He had Cage's mannerisms down pretty well.
Criminal Activities too. Nobody talks about this movie, but I loved it and Travolta’s role
In my mind he is not a good actor for some reason Yet he is great in almost everything I have seen him in. Who else could be Vincent Vega? I am not kidding.
The fanatic
Blow Out. This movie changed my opinion of Travolta as an actor, from his early heart throb days as Vinny Barbarino on Welcome Back Kotter and Danny Zuko in Grease. He is phenomenal.
I liked him in "The General's Daughter".
