My favorite is Pulp Fiction. Vince was cool.The dance with Uma is a classic. And it was his comeback role.

responses and comments:
GREASE is the word! Still his best performance. So cheesy yet lovable. "Sandy oh Sandy" And Broken Arrow. It never got it's due but he was a great villan. [nicolec]
John is a good villian. Casting against type is fun. [sarahruthbeth22]
I do love that role. I have to say though that Michael would be my favorite. Though my soon to be sis-in-law would kick my butt. She is the ultimate Grease fan. [geekwidow]
I love Grease too but I thought John did more acting in Pulp Fiction. [sarahruthbeth22]
Grease. That's one of the few musicals I actually like. [hitzphillygirl]
I like him in Face Off with Nicholas Cage and Be Cool with Uma Thurman [coco526]
Pulp Fiction and Broken Arrow. Though i don't love romantic movies I loved his romantic comedy "Two of a kind" with Olivia Newton John. [astroo13]
I loved Two Of A Kind. I went to see it. And right after seeing it , I bought the soundtrack. [sarahruthbeth22]
My favorite movie with john travolta is Pulp Fiction. Just love the movie. "Do you know what they put on their fries in Europe?";"Mayonnaise" [FishStick]
Oh yeah."what do they call a Quarter Pounder with cheese? A royal with cheese." [sarahruthbeth22]
I really like Phenomenon. It's such a sweet gentle movie, and I love the way he changes when he starts to get so much more mental capacity. It's amazing. I think he and Kyra Sedgewick do very well together in the movie. Also, they are pretty corny, but I really enjoyed the Look Who's Talking movies, particularly the first. [tentwo67]
My favorite was Grease and also all of the Look who's talking movies. [Shaun72]
John Travolta is one of my most favorite actors so I watched all of his movies including the boring ones. My most favorite is FACE OFF where he was the protagonist as well as the antagonist. The one that I dislike most is "Battlefield Earth" where he was cast as a hideous alien. Looks like Travolta is not doing any good movies nowadays. Do you have any idea why? [Jemina]
There must be offering him really bad scripts these days or roles that he has already played and he is turning them down.Or he could be too busy with his second love, flying. [sarahruthbeth22]
I think in general John Travolta has been in a lot of bad movies. He has put in a few above average performances though. I think Pulp Fiction was probably his best. Some other good performances of his would be Grease (naturally), Michael and Be Cool. I honestly have a hard time sitting through any of his movies, and believe it or not I actually like him. [filmbuff]
John has been in so mant different types of movies it is hard not to find at least one you would like. [sarahruthbeth22]
I think my favorite John Travolta movie would have to be Grease. I do like alot of his movies but I really liked grease. Take care, Terry [twils2]
I really liked him in Broken Arrow and Face Off. Best quote from Broken Arrow: Will you please stop shooting at the thermo-nuclear device?" In Face Off he and Nicholas Cage both got to play bad guy Castor Troy. They both gave Castor that manic look in different ways. [ORyansBelt2012]
The show that made John Travolta famous of course I love the movie Grease! I have loved that show since I was little! No one can play the part of Danny the way John Travolta did! [hip2bemom]
i like watching all his movies because i love the way he acts ...i recently saw BOLT and i think his voice brilliantly suited Bolt the dog's character [carnations]
John Travolta is a good actor who has done a wide range of work but I think my favourite film from him is fac off,I really liked the way he was able to switch roles in the same way he switched faces [ronnyb]
Wait..it is either Grease or Saturday Night Fever..which one do I like the best? I guess I would really have to pick Sat. Night Fever, as this is when I first fell in love with him! I fell out of love with him later on though LOL Sarah..lolhappy [OceanTiara]
I had the biggest crush on him when he did Grease and it increased when I saw Urban Cowboy but in the 90's I didn't have my crush anymore. I still love his work but it is different. [sarahruthbeth22]
Saturday night fever!! hands down.wub i first fell in love with him when he was on the sitcom Welcome back Kotter. or was it cotter? most people probably dont even realise it as im much older here than most. when he was Vinnie Barbarino i thought he was so hot. what a crush i had. [bunnybon7]
I saw welcome back Kotter but I didn't have a crust on him then. It took Grease for me to have a crush on him. By the time I saw Urban Cowboy, I had fallen for him hard. [sarahruthbeth22]
Mine's Pulp Fiction, too. I liked his stories about Europe. Le Mac. [lizavm]
There are so many classic scenes in Pulp Fiction. I like the speech he says in the mirror. [sarahruthbeth22]
Oh, I can't believe that you posted this discussion three years ago:) When I just noticed this title, I thought it was a new discussion from you:) I think my favorite movie of John Travolta is Face Off. I think it is a nice movie and John Travolta can act both good and bad man quite well. Sometimes he is so innocent, but sometimes he can be very evil. This is the quality of a good actor. I love China [youless]
Wow.I didn't noticed the date of this post either. [sarahruthbeth22]
I would have to say the classic Grease is one of my favorites of all time. His acting was superb there and he still is acting awesomely. He is a talented actor and the sudden demise of his son was a sad news.. [zed_k4]
I liked Pulp Fiction well enough, sarah, but I think my favorite is Michael. I think that's the title. It was the one where he played an angel. I love that one.rolleyesMaybe my reason for liking it so much is because there was a lot of talk about pies in it.lol [worldwise1]
That's Michael. [sarahruthbeth22]
Grease is my favorite one out of all of the movies that he has been in. In fact my 6 year old autistic daughter loves watching that movie. I can calm her right down when I have that plugged in. I have it on DVD as well as VHS so I let her take it in her room and watch it some nights before bed. Because she has her own VCR in her bedroom. lets put it this way it beats listening to spongebob or donkey kong any night. [angreme]
I agree.Of all the things to hear over and over,I'd pick Grease.In fact I had the soundtrack way before I saw the film.I was the last of my friends to see the film. [sarahruthbeth22]
Travolta really has played some iconic characters in some great movies as well as a few turkeys. My favourite Travolta movie would have to be Phenomenon as it is such a touching storline and shows that Travolta is more than adept at handling roles which don't rquire over the top, bravado performances. But then I also enjoyed him in Face/Off especially as it also stars Nic Cage. [thedailyclick]
