I was born in 1980 and watched this so much as a kid that even though I generally don't like country music and am not attracted to the Texas "Cowboy" persona, I will never not love this movie. I had it on VHS and my husband bought it on DVD for my 28th birthday, and now I own it digitally. I have tried to get my now-adult children to watch it with me to understand the greatness that is Urban Cowboy but they won't sit past the first few minutes. It is totally their loss.
The acting is great from the 4 main characters and the supporting cast is amazing as well. Regardless of your taste in music you will likely know and love most of the songs featured. It is not PC, and there is domestic violence that makes it hard to root for Bud, but there's no way you don't root for both Travolta and Winger. This is a hidden gem for those looking for a guilty pleasure you haven't seen and may not have given a chance. One of my all time favorites. Maybe for nostalgic reasons, but if you give it a chance you will probably love it, too.
