I will go to my grave rambling about the vast superiority of Grease 2 over OG Grease. Sure, “Summer Nights’” is a classic song, but is it as informative as “Reproduction”? I mean, that manages to teach sex ed and maintain a catchy refrain! Besides, watching Michelle Pfeiffer’s smoking-hot bad girl fall for nerd/secret biker Maxwell Caulfield is a delicious gender-bending twist. It proves a guy can be a “Cool Rider” and a bookish nerd. Bowling, motorcycles, and a climatic luau decrying the dangers of smoking cement this as a weird and wonderful film for those hot summer nights. – Cat McCarrey
