It\u2019s like Spice World for the Village People. We watched Can\u2019t Stop the Music (1980) with our friend Jackson Cooper and we want to stay at the YMCA! Producer Allan Carr was at the top of his game after the success of Grease (1978) and the next story bursting forth was the pseudo-biography of disco\u2019s greatest novelty act - the Village People.\xa0 This movie takes place in a theme park version of Manhattan where go-go boys roam the streets in a full Native American headdress, a man can roller skate down 5th avenue without being actively murdered and a leatherman can belt out \u201cDanny Boy\u201d standing on a piano and not be the weirdest thing in the room.\xa0 The filmmakers missed the mark when they predicted disco to be the sound the 80\u2019s would be remembered for, but they wisely called multi-million dollar marketing campaigns backed by big-milk. Can\u2019t Stop the Music tops our list of \u201cbest worst movies\u201d for its utter watchability - not to mention he full frontal male nudity in a PG movie. Come for Steve Guttenberg looking like a whole a$s snack, stay for the Village People serving the whole meal!
