Dirty Dancing

Not only a classic but one that defies being beaten by any of its replications. Yes sometimes the acting sucks, but mostly that's when they speak and it is clumsy more than terrible. Body language tells the story in this film and while the script is simple, it took to the big screen one of the most memorable and moving father/daughter moments, where a painful chasm is bridged by a few words, even if cliche. The only reason to give this less than five stars would be out of the disappointment that comes from having come of age without falling in love, while helping those who have less...and...with a sexy sensuous man who holds you up over his head in front of family, friends and about-to-break-out-dancing holiday folk.

The feeling of a summer breeze on a Saturday morning is the emission this bears onto your shoulders almost bowing you down.

Nobody puts baby in a corner I member when I saw this and it made my middle school girlfriend break up with me because I wanted to take her to an abandoned swimming hole but her dad was like the dad in the movie, understandably concerned for his kid.

Pretty iconic. Not sure how I hadn't logged this until now, given it's a film I watched quite a bit growing up due to it being my mum's favourite movie. Better late than never! 'Dirty Dancing' is entertaining - cheesy, but entertaining. What helps is the ace soundtrack, which culminates with the classic '(I've Had) The Time of My Life' scene. The film flies through its 100-minute run time and features super chemistry between leads Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, two who give strong performances. Jerry Orbach (Just me confusing him with Jonathan Hyde? Probably.) is good too. As you'd expect, the dance numbers are all on point as well. I've never checked out the 2004 prequel, 'Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights'. It's next up, though high hopes I do not hold - but we'll see.

This was a great movie in 1987. In the context of today's movies it's deserves its legendary status. This story and music are timeless.

The fifties are passing away and in the air there is a new wish of life.

Nobody put baby in the corner. This gets a 5 just for Patrick and Jennifer and the dancing!

One of the best movies ever made!! Perfect!

I've watched this movie so many times, I have to give it 5 stars.

Great movie, loved Patrick Swayze! Not enough dancing!!! >:/
