Just curious.
None of them. I would like to be Jules in Pulp Fiction.
I do not understand your point @patsmom. If your point is why is this a thread you can always just pass this one by. I would be one of Danny’s three stooges like friends. I wouldn’t be the coach or the rival gang guys or one of the athletes that Danny hates. I’d nominate the gym scene as the greatest 5 minutes of cinema in Hollywood history.
If you looked at it on the script it might have said they have a big dance or something (and yes I realize the movie was adapted from a stage play musical). They didn’t just dance. Each couple had a little drama going on and, to increase the stakes, Vince Fontain was there and the whole nation was watching. One of Danny’s friends gets into a fight with one of the rival gang guys. Danny knows Chi-Choos or whatever the Latin Bad Girl’s name is and lies to Sandy about it. The energy throughout the entire film is amazing but particularly in the gym dance contest scene it is as good as Hollywood gets and, as a novice screenwriter, I can’t help but admire it.
They don’t just dance.
Danny gets separated from Goodie-Two-Shoes Sandy and ends up winning the contest with What’s Her Face. The school administrators are appalled by the kinds of dancing the kids do.
The moment when Danny and Sandy enter the gym during the contest is just perfection. Danny and Sandy are so perfect together.
I don’t think I fit in the Pink Ladies. I would be the girl who recruited Sandy to the cheerleading!!
I hated Grease, even when I was a teen. The whole “I need to change who I really am and take on values I don’t truly embrace in order to please the other person” ending annoyed me greatly.
Well, I did love the whole school dance part.
Sandy!!! Coolest gal ever! 
Well, I would want to be Rizzo. Really, really want to be Rizzo. But realistically, I am more of a Frenchie.
BTW, as a kid I saw West Side Story and wanted to play Anita. Years later I got to play Anita in our high school production. Of course, I also played Yente in our production of Fiddler on the Roof. I probably fall somewhere between the 2! :))
I actually dropped out of beauty school (to attend college). If I had a nickel for every time someone has sung those three words at me, I’d be retired by now, but I dislike that song and am not a huge fan of the movie. Don’t think I’d want to be any of those characters.
Eugene. I was way uncool back in HS. Glasses - check. Inhaler - check.Skinny and no muscles. Nerd does not have quite the social stigma it did back then, plus I have socialized up a bit.
GREASE, for me, and plenty of other people, wasn’t just about Sandy’s arc from good girl to bad girl although I thought that was handled beautifully. Sandy had to grow up, so to speak. She had to become a women, again so to speak. There was nothing wrong with the way she way but she was too good and she needed to mature to be Danny’s equal and I do not mean that in a sexist way. I mean that Sandy wanted to be that at some level it wasn’t done just for him. Anyone finding heavy misogyny in GREASE probably needs some kind of help.
GREASE touched on all kinds of themes like that without being preachy.
Everyone wants to fall in love. Danny and Sandy fell in love over a summer and then it rekindled later. Everyone wants to be part of the crew. Everyone has rivals although they are not usually another gang but either way almost everyone can relate to that stuff. The tension between the adults and then teens was yet another universal theme that you really don’t have to think very hard about to get. The song and dance numbers were amazing and I am not a musicals kind of guy at all but I certainly wouldn’t might be in theater if I got to be a part of something that much fun.
And, let me add you could not have cast a movie better in a 100 years. Olivia Newton John, even at age 29 when it was filmed, was perfect as Sandy. She was impossible not to fall in love with no matter what age you were.
Travolta was amazing as Danny. No one looks cooler dancing that John Travolta as Danny, in Saturday Night Fever, in Urban Cowboy and in Pulp Fiction. No one is even close.
The supporting characters were excellent as well but it was Newton-John with Travolta, the sizzling chemistry between them, that made it work. They remain friends, close friends, to this day. I believe ONJ had breast cancer and has done some philanthropy work on behalf of that issue.
Sandy, for sure…but mainly because of Danny Z.
Rizzo
That is a really weird thing to say. Who has said anything about “heavy misogyny”? And even if one did see that in the movie, it certainly doesn’t mean they “need help.”
In the film, BOTH Danny and Sandy are trying to transform themselves into who they believe the other one wants them to be rather than being true to themselves.
My D played Rizzo in our local community theatre’s children’s production. As a result, she became junior high best friends “joined at the hip” with Frenchie.
Yes, there’s some sort of bad stuff in Grease, but there’s some good stuff too. I honestly think that singing “There Are Worse Things I Could Do” made my D less judgmental about teen age girls who were willing to “put out” a few years later. I don’t mean I wanted HER to be doing that; I just mean that Rizzo wasn’t all bad. Remember the pregnancy scare? Not a bad lesson either. And Konechi (spelling?) stepping up to take responsibility? Good lesson there too, I think. Yes, he was relieved it wasn’t his kid. Who wouldn’t be? But if we read Aunt Bea’s baby shower thread, I think we know that there’s a lot praiseworthy about the young man who steps up when his girlfriend gets pregnant. And, perfect Sandy tells Rizzo if she can help, she will. That’s the moment I LIKED Sandy.
Community theatre was --for that matter, still is–a really great thing in my community. I think it’s done Grease 3 times. Twice by the “little kids” and once by the teens.
And, for the record, in this very biased mom’s opinion, my D was a MUCH better Rizzo than Stockard Channing 
“Summer Loving” with the dual perspectives of Danny and Sandy has to be one of the most honest depictions of what boys and girls tell their classmates ever. I don’t know…maybe things have changed, but I suspect that, for young teens at least, it’s pretty true to life. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZW0DfsCzfq4
This is a humorous take on some of the film’s shortcomings:
The best thing is the music. We go together like ramalamlamalama dit di dit di do. It doesn’t get better than that.
