After moving to Pasadena, Texas, country boy Bud Davis starts hanging around a bar called Gilley's, where he falls in love with Sissy, a cowgirl who believes the sexes are equal. They eventually marry, but their relationship is turbulent due to Bud's traditional view of gender roles. Jealousy over his rival leads to their separation, but Bud attempts to win Sissy back by triumphing at Gilley's mechanical bull-riding competition.

Just a wonderful little slice of Texas. Great romance, high stakes drama, and a killer soundtrack

Not sure if you're supposed to be liking Travolta's character or not.... My mom had me watch it and most of the time I was like 😬

Blends romance and country music culture with John Travolta’s strong performance. Engaging and authentic, despite a predictable plot.

A guilty pleasure.To midAmerica what SNF was to NYC, only it's a much better film. Scott Glenn as Wes is 1 of my alltime favorite villains.

50% wife beating, 50% bull riding. A pointless movie with a great soundtrack and authentic style that’s too boring to enjoy.

80s western romantic drama with a young Travolta, worth a watch
