Really AWFUL Travolta movie is on in 2 minutes.
On American Movie Classics.

"The Devil's Rain."

Travolta is only a bit player, it's from 1975.

But! Even! William! Shatner! Is! In ! It!

1. Ever seen the L. Ron Hubbard Sci-fi with Vinnie Barberino?

I had to turn it off after about 15 minutes. Travolta is a giant sized alien that rules the earth.

3. Shatner looks like he has a bad hair dye job.
And his movie "father" just melted.

This movie should have been MST'ed.

It was featured in the "Golden Turkey Awards."

11. One great Travolta film. "Primary Colors"
Based on the book by Joe Klein.

Playing a thinly disguised Bill Clinton, Travolta is simply excellent. This is a terrific film...directed by Mike Nichols, with a great script and wonderful performances throughout. Emma Thompson and Kathy Bates particularly shine.

Lord, I'm no fan of Travolta, but he's superb in "Primary Colors"

Remember, Scientology saved him from a life of Gaydom.

Him and Tom Cruise.

10. The Devil's Rain is terrific!
Especially for all us Borgnine fans. Travolta was at his dubious best in Blow Out, back in 1981. Shatner hit his peak back in 1966 in an all-Esperanto horror movie called Incubus. Really. "Kira! esto! mundo! Furie... abundo!"
