Saturday Night Fever is much more than a disco movie. It's a powerful story about dreams, identity, and finding your place in the world. Seeing it with an audience, surrounded by the music that defined a generation, is an experience every movie lover should have." note Debbie Higgins, Co-Founder of Marquee Classic Movie nights.

Featuring one of the best-selling movie soundtracks of all time, Saturday Night Fever remains a cultural phenomenon nearly 50 years after its release, with unforgettable music from the Bee Gees including "Stayin' Alive," "Night Fever," "How Deep Is Your Love," and "More Than a Woman."
