I would say they are equal to John Travolta's trio of musicals he did. Saturday Night Fever - gritty, brillant music not sure about the plot line but believable. Grease -Flashy, Commercial and just what the public were looking for from John. But then Staying Alive - he tried to copy the firsts concept unsuccessfully and the plot line is far too ambitious.
