Summary: Great hits of the 80"s
Review: I grew up with this movie it was one of the first and one of the best movies that Patrick Swayze has ever done. People who were old enough to remember when it came out will always remember it.

Summary: Everybody's Hero
Review: Everybody's hero is called 'Baby' in this movie. People who try to make themselves into heroes by clinging to a system which attempts to demonstrate that it has values like the Kellermans, who are constantly trying to control the situation here, end up being like "the big creep" when they have to fire people who have emotional outbursts about this kind of thing. Curiously, as I remember this movie, there is a doctor who says, "When I'm wrong, I say I'm wrong." This must be pure fantasy.

Summary: I loved this movie
Review: Rarely has a movie a great story line as well as wonderful music. I saw this movie when it first came out and when it is on cable, I watch it all over again even though I have the tape. It can always cheer me up. The dance moves are spectacular. It truly is a masterpiece in the way it shows the budding relationship between Johnnie and Baby. The innocence of the time allows the relationship to progress at a more leisurely pace than would happen today. The sense of position also puts a restraint that most of us cheer to remove. We all like to see the underdog win. Especially if he looks as great as Patrick Swayse does in this movie. It is nice to see the great looking guy falling for the not as great looking girl for a change. This movie may not be factually correct as far as the music of the time it is portraying, but who cares. A great movie and one you finish with a smile on your face and a dance in your step.

Summary: Absolutely WONDERFUL!
Review: This movie was my favorite movie of all times. They have such wonderful dace moves on this movie, i know it must have taken them soooo long to accomplish those complicated dance moves. I was absolutely stunned at their dance moves. I LUV penny's shoes when she dances (the silver ones) and i luv all the songs on there, there isn't one i don't like, or know all the words to, since i have seen the movie a million times (and the first time a saw it was about 12 days ago!) I have asked around and found out it's a lot of people's favorite movie. This absolutely tops the list of ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!

Summary: EXCELLENT EFFORT
Review: Superb effort on the part of Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey and Cynthia Rhodes. Full marks to the director and choreographer in an absolute master-piece - Emile Ardolino and Kenny Ortega. Great movie. Only one observation though. While the movie is recorded 5.1 surround which allows you enjoy it to the core, the addtional features, which are truly collector's worth, have been recorded in Prologic mode, with the result you are forced to listen to the songs in the main film so that you get the theatrical feeling. In any case, since they are a bonus to the collector, I guess one can't get too wishful. The DVD is an absolute must buy for all music and dance lovers......

Summary: Average Movie, GREAT DVD Showcase
Review: This isn't a review of the movie - the coming of age story about Baby, an uppity girl on vacation in the Catskills who learns about love, life, and how to dance while visiting a resort - but rather a review on this DVD's ability to transform any non-DVD-believer to the new format.This DVD's featurettes were recorded in 1987 - long ago enough that they realized the marketing potential to have many Making Of and Extra Bonus Feature abilities, and by including these original 1987 films on the DVD you can *easily* compare the quality differences. This alone makes you realize why you opted to buy the DVD over another VHS. It's fun to see the directors and actors, in their full 1980's VHS quality, commenting on the movie. They intercut the dance scenes as well as the dialouge without digital conversion, and when you watch it, you notice just how much of an improvement DVD is. Listen to the sound in the cutscenes and then replay the same scene in the DVD, and anyone who hasn't switched to DVD certainly will. The DVD contains all the music videos from the movie - again, in relatively low-res VHS/MTV quality, as well as some animated backgrounds. A great DVD for the simple fact that it's so easy to switch between what you've seen on VHS for years (and even on at the theatres) and what is available on DVD, quality-wise, today.

Summary: Down on Dirty Dancing DVD
Review: I'm assuming that if you are looking to buy this title on DVD, you have seen it before or at least been told a lot about the movie... So, I'm not going to write about the story or anything like that. This is geared more towards a movie collector. The description on Amazon.com and the box itself indicates that this is just a great DVD for collectors. It has tons of extra features (which I know we all go for) Some of the features listed are featurettes, music videos, commentaries and the like. It, of course has all these, and more. However, Artisan apparently wanted to boost sales by printing a new DVD collector's title but didn't want to put the money into it. ALL of the special features are of VERY poor video quality (most looking like they were encoded from a VHS tape) and the audio quality on these extras isn't much better. Very disappointing to say the least! To top it off, the movie itself is of less than good quality. Especially seeing that this film was "remastered" and rereleased a year or so ago! The video quality is better than VHS, but no better than SVHS and it seemed to me that the contrast of the transfer was way to high. Things are blurry when they shouldn't be and the transfer, at times looks digitized (LOW bit rate to save space! ) The only decent things about this disc are the movie itself (I suppose I would still rather own this DVD copy than a VHS copy) and the AUDIO for the film sounds pretty good - not great, but pretty good. Basically, what I am saying is that if you really like this movie and are a DVD person like myself, buy it - but don't expect to be awed by the presentation!

Summary: Corny, but still one of the best '80s movies!
Review: This is one of those movies that gets cornier and cornier every time you watch it, but I love it anyway. The first time I saw it, I wanted to cry at the end, and it wasn't even sad. I would have to say that the best things in this movie are not the acting (Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze are attractive, and they have great chemistry together, but they aren't Oscar nominees by a long shot); the music and the dancing are what make "Dirty Dancing" worth watching over and over. It seems like every time I watch it, I notice something else about the plot, the music, or the dancing that had never occurred to me before. This movie is not for everyone; if you're looking for action, or award-winning drama, or slapstick comedy, look elsewhere. But if you want a romantic comedy with great dancing and music and a wonderful ending, look no further!

Summary: A great glimpse of the now played-out "Titanic" Syndrome
Review: I loved this movie. I saw this not too long ago. I had seen the movoie Titanic and thought "poor boy meets rich girl, how cozy." But now I see where the inspiration was! The movies music makes you want to dance, and the coreograpy makes you could dance like that with Patrick Swayze. I loved it and I give it 5 stars.
