![]() But I WILL mention I have no interest in seeing "Havanna Nights", this one they should have left alone. This movie is always on TV and I will continue to watch it as long as they show it. Dirty Dancing has a nostalgic, languid, summery mood, realistic characters, a relateable honest message coupled with incredible music and dancing, and the one of the best dance sequences cinema has ever given us. I don't think there is one particular element that makes this movie so loved but many things, a lot of which are mentioned by numerous reviewers. It is an instant classic and I've never really seen a movie like it either before or since. The characters, the chemistry between Swaze and Grey, the movie's direction, the INCREDIBLE dancing, the warm summery atmosphere, everything about dirty dancing is absolutely perfect. I think their up there but there is something about Dirty Dancing that just makes it absolutely perfect. I have loved other "blockbuster love story movies" like Pretty Woman and when Harry met Sally. There is something timeless about this movie. This is one movie that I could probably watch every few weeks and still love. I can't even count how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing. This timeless summer love story is a classic and will never be dated. This is no less a classic in its genre than Maltese Falcon or the Matrix. And the brilliant writer/Producer Elenor Bergstein for whom this was a labor of love (there was a documentary on this) also seemed to hang up her spurs when production wrapped. Jennifer Grey, who practically made this role a part of her DNA, had a nose job and (the cynics say) lost a lot of later roles because the casting directors were afraid no one would recognize her. Swayze's career was unfortunately cut short. Nobody puts Baby in a corner? Well, nobody should ignore this film either! Also has an odd note of the "one hit wonder" label about it, which in my view only makes it more of a treat than it already is. This is literally the original "feel good" dance film - which spawned dozens if not hundreds of imitations. As a Prolific Review here on the IMDb, I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of films that improve with age like that. Since 1987 I have seen this film 7 or 8 times. This is one of those rare rare films that needs a 30 year break between the time of production and the time of the review in order to appreciate it. Ps- The soundtrack is fantastic, an absolute masterpiece (classic moment) For all those people who believe this movie is corny and sappy, maybe in a way it is, but it was the penicle of the 80's films, and put Patrick Swayze right on the map his performance was immaculate. and I can't help tearing up a tiny bit at the end, when Patrick comes up to the Houseman family and tells her dad, "Nobody puts Baby in a corner". it makes the viewer enjoy it that much more, to see this passion and commitment. Although Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey absolutely hated each other throughout the making of this film, they possess a beautiful chemistry on the set. ![]() but every time I do come upon it on TV, I am entranced and mystified and sit myself down and there I am, for two hours, loving the movie as if I'm watching it for the first time. I cannot possibly recount the hundreds (yes, hundreds)of times I've watched it, beginning to end. there is some sort of absolute magic in this movie. I don't really know what it is about Dirty Dancing. He bans his daughter from any further association with "those people". ![]() He then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse, that he funded the illegal abortion. It all comes apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby gets her father, who saves the girl's life. She then fills in as Johnny's dance partner and it is as he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love. Baby lies to her father to get money to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny's dance partner. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle, a man whose background is vastly different from her own. Baby has grown up in privileged surroundings and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. In 1963, Frances "Baby" Houseman, a sweet daddy's girl, goes with her family to a resort in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. Dirty Dancing (1987) is considered one of the best Drama,Music,Romance movie in India and around the world. Patrick Swayze,Jennifer Grey,Jerry Orbach,Cynthia Rhodes are the starring of this movie. ![]()
