Summary: A Movie with A Soundtrack
Review: This is one of the movies from the Late '70 to late '80s that had phenomenal soundtracks with the movies. This movie made in 1987 had two big actors of the time Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze. It grossed 62 million dollars. It is supposed to look'60s but it looks more '80s and they never had the song "I've Had the Time Of My Life" back in the '60s. This is a good movie but for entertainment only not for serious thought. The DVD is good including music videos.

Summary: AFI's Great Love Stories: #93 Dirty Dancing
Review: Every time we get to the end of "Dirty Dancing," and Dr. Jake Houseman (Jerry Orbach) says "When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong," I always end up yelling at the screen because he never says he is wrong! "Dirty Dancing" has plenty of dancing, dirty and otherwise, but the juice for this film is supplied by the contrast between Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. He is Johnny Castle, basically a street punk earning a living dancing up a story at a Catskills resort. She is Frances "Baby" Houseman, saved from being a cute little spoiled rich girl by her social conscience, and once the two of them collide "Baby" starts growing up real fast. You see, Baby does Mombo and ends up having the time of her life. Like John Travolta, Swayze proved that when you add some major hip swiveling to smoldering good lucks, it really, really works. Grey personified sweet innocence and the resulting contrast made this campy little film work. Interesting footnote: originally there were some nude scenes in this film but test audiences did not like seeing Baby naked, so they were cut. Now, isn't that romantic? Most Romantic Lines: (1) "Nobody puts Baby in a corner." (2) "I had...the time of my-y life...and I owe it all to yo-ou." (Okay, nobody SAYS it, but it is the line you all remember.) If you like "Dirty Dancing," then check out these other films on AFI's list: #31 "The King and I" and #30 "Swing Time." Why? Because these are movies where the dancing substitutes for the sex. Actually, is there a hotter sex scene than the dance scene in "The King and I"? Also, for good measure, toss in #95 "Lady and the Tramp" which also features a romance from opposite sides of the track, and #19 "Ghost," because it also stars Swayze.

Summary: A Landmark of the 80's
Review: The 80's. What a wonderful decade for some of us and more over having a film like "Dirty Dancing" to bring back memories of a time full of dreams, expectations, doubts and findings. The story of Frances "Baby" Hausmann and handsom Johnny Castle made me believe in true love, the kind of love that makes you dream, believe, be happy, feel the world in the palm of your hand and, eventhough it elapsed in the 60's, "Dirty Dancing" love story was as true in the 80's as it is now. And no good movie can be complete without a good soundtrack interlacing images and music. This is absolutely clear when you think about songs like "Hungry Eyes" by Eric Carmen, "Cry To Me" by Solomon Burke, such a wonderful love song as "She's Like the Wind" so breathtakingly performed by Patrick Swayze and last, but no less alive in my mind, "I've had the time of My Life", a premium closing song for a movie that deserves to be called "A Landmark of the 80's. Don't miss it!

Summary: The Best in the world
Review: This movie has touched me so much it's great. The movie is about a a young girl who is a little daddy girl and does everything she is told until she met her love Johnny (Patrick Swayze). Baby (Jennifer Grey) learns not only how to dance and stick up for herself but she learns how to love someone and show everyone what she's got. If you want a great chick flick this si the one. Its a movie that will never be forgotton. Grey dances great in the movie and so does Swayze. Cythnia Rodes who plays Penny is a wonderful dancer as will. Its a great movie and i suggest you get it!

Summary: You'll Wear It Out.
Review: I loved this film from the first time I saw it. As a little girl I always sang along with the songs and loved the story.
When I reached my teens, my reasons for loving it changed as my hormones went into overdrive.
Patrick Swayze was SOOO HOT!.
And even though I found someone the female characters annoying (probably because they got so close to Patrick, or Lisa Houseman's awful talent show performance.), the cast fit well together and the result is a combination of poignant lessons and raw energy.
Like 'Grease' before it, 'Dirty Dancing' is a major step forward for musicals.
If you love good music, Patrick Swayze (or Both). You'll wear this out trust me.
