Mojo Filter's Top 10 John Travolta Movies

3. THE EXPERTS
(Directed by Dave Thomas, 1989)

I know. Most of you have probably never heard of this film, or have and thought it was corny and pretty much an example of bad filmmaking. I loved it, though. I watched this movie probably a hundred times as a teenager. This is the film where John met his future wife Kelly Preston. John stars as a loser who, along with his friend, gets sent to the Soviet Union thinking he is in rural America with the goal of introducing the people there to the 20th century. It's a hilarious film, but only if you have the right kind of humor to see through the corniness of it all.

2. SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER
(Directed by John Badham, 1977)

One of the greatest and most influential movies of the 70's, Saturday Night Fever introduced the world to John, a sensational young actor who had incredible dance skills, and featured some of the best songs of all time that were mostly written and performed by the Bee Gees. The movie is also considered the ultimate disco movie, but it's theme is mostly about teen angst in the mid- to late 70's. John's performance as Tony Manero earned him his first Oscar nomination.

1. PULP FICTION
(Directed by Quentin Tarantino, 1994)

One of the greatest, if not the greatest, films ever made, this is the film that brought John back to the public interest after many years in a slump. Legendary director Quentin Tarantino has been credited for reviving John's career after insisting on casting him as Vincent Vega, a hitman with a drug problem, who takes his boss's wife out for dinner -to take care of her -and almost causes her death. His performance earned him his second Oscar nomination, his first being 17 years prior.
