Disco is a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States' urban nightlife scene. Its sound is typified by four-on-the-floor beats, syncopated basslines, string sections, brass and horns, electric piano, synthesizers, and electric rhythm guitars .
This movie is probably the biggest homage to disco movies ever. It's similar to Saturday Night Fever or Disco Godfather by how it constantly plays 70's music or it's constant use drugs.

Famously adapted from Nik Cohn’s New York magazine articlethat Cohn later acknowledged was fabricated. This enormously successful film spawned millions of tacky fancy dress costumes and helped push disco firmly into the mainstream which was for a time its undoing. Despite that it’s a tremendous movie; far darker than many remember with Travolta and...
Thank God It’s Friday was a co-production between Motown and Casablanca records, and features two of those labels’ biggest stars of the time, The Commodores and Donna Summer. It’s a semi-comic tale set around fictional LA nightclub The Zoo, and stars Jeff Goldblum and Debra Winger. ‘Last Dance’, Donna Summer’s big number in the film, went on to win...
A seedy, trashy depiction of the goings on around a ‘Tramp’ style nightclub in London, based of course on Jackie Collins’ novel and starring 70s icons Joan Collins and Oliver Tobias. It’s all very soapy and very British, but with a soundtrack including the likes of Odyssey, Rose Royce, Baccara and Hot Chocolate. Joan followed this up with sequel ‘T...
Whit Stillman’s film made stars of Chloe Sevigny and Kate Beckinsale. It’s entertainingly talky and philosophical as his movies tend to be, and centres on an unlikely group of WASPy twenty somethings who frequent a Studio 54 type club in 1980, as disco approaches its decline. Whit Stillman and Kate Beckinsale were recently interviewed in The Guardi...
“We are gonna attack the wack.” A terrifically terrible vehicle for Rudy Ray Moore, Disco Godfather is a late-era Blaxploitation flick with its tongue firmly in cheek (well, occasionally). Moore plays a former cop, now a nightclub owner/superstar DJ who sets out on a mission to clean up the neighbourhood of PCP dealers. Blaxploitation staples crook...
A highly fictionalised account of height and fall of Studio 54 this aimed to be the king of disco movies but fell short somewhere along the way. 54 is told through the eyes of the bartenders and bit players, with Mike Myers playing Steve Rubell and a cast that includes Salma Hayek, Neve Campbell and Ryan Philippe. As should be expected, the soundtr...
“She’s still in the disco business – just…” The follow up to The Stud retained Joan Collins and many of the supporting cast, and added a transatlantic gangster element, possibly inspired by The Long Good Friday. That supporting cast are all faces known from British TV and add to the sense of a hastily thrown-together sequel to a surprise hit. It’s ...
“The movie that moves in your grooves!” Another wonderful Blaxploitation effort, with nightclub owner Fass Black (John Poole) being leant on by big business in the form of a record label run by the crooked Bellamy. Typical of low budget movies of the genre are the wildly mismatched shots in the club and no attempt at syncing the music with the danc...
Not a disco movie as such, but The Nice Guys is set in 1977 Los Angeles and has a long sequence set in an amazing house party. A masterpiece of styling and interior design, it even has Earth Wind & Fire playing live on one of the terraces. It’s the kind of party you definitely would want to have been at.
DISCO is a 2017 comedy/drama film written and directed by Brad Jones. Set in a time where The '70s have barely evolved, three sisters, Emily (Sarah Gobble), Crystal (Bianca Queen), and Lana (Laura Luke) spend one night in a downtown discotheque as a means to rebond after years of separation and heartbreak.
