Need to know which John Travolta movie got the best reviews from critics and audiences? Well you have come to the right place….because we have all of that information.

John Travolta (1954-) is a two-time Academy Award® nominated actor. His career has been one serious roller coaster ride filled some serious peaks and serious lows.  A movie career can not start off any better than how Travolta’s did after the mega success of 1977’s Saturday Night Fever and 1978’s Grease.  After 1983’s Staying Alive was destroyed by critics, his career took a turn for the worse.  From 1983-1993 the only success he had was 1989’s Look Who’s Talking.  Then came 1994’s Pulp Fiction….which turned Travolta back into a huge box office draw.  From 1994 to 2009 he appeared in many box office successes with Get Shorty, The General’s Daughter, Face-Off, Wild Hogs and Michael being some of the bigger box office hits.  Since 2009 things have slowed down for Travolta….can he reach the summit for the third time?….we hope so.

  1. I think he needs another Pulp Fiction to jump start his career again. Although I was glad to see that he has another baby, maybe that will help him rebound

  2. Travolta plays great villains: (Broken Arrow, Face/Off, Swordfish, The Punisher, The Taking Of Pelham 123). Travolta plays good heroes/good guys: (A Civil Action, The General’s Daughter, Domestic Disturbance, and again, Face/Off) and everything in-between. A great hub on a great actor.

    Basic+WhiteMan’sBurden=GARBAGE. Hated Battlefield Earth.

  3. Good job on Travolta. He is a good actor as well. I have enjoyed quite a few of his movies. There is no personal information on him. I believe that his son must now be over a year old. Thanks again.
