Dirty Dancing-A++++++++++++++

Rating: 10/10 (13 September 2006)

I am soon to be 58 yrs.old. I can't recall when I first saw this movie, but I do know that until I purchased it on Video, I watched every time it came on TV. Which, TV does not do the film justice, because it has to edit too many scenes to make time for commercials. Getting the DVD Ultimate Edition was the best thing I did. I recommend everyone who loves this movie, like me, to get it. There is so much more insight into the movie, the characters, the making of the movie etc. I can't count the number of times I have watched the movie with the commentaries of the writer/producer Eleanor Bergstein all the way through; and then Kenny Ortega and the other assistant choreographer Miranda Garrison, and others who are listed in the commentary section. I love watching the music video section of "She's Like the Wind", 'I've Had the Time of My Life" and "Hungry Eyes". It is a great way to enter a stress free time. I love this movie and I don't believe it would have been such a success with anyone else than Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Music is terrific, story line is exceptional, all actors are wonderful and believable. For such a limited budget, it outshines many high cost popular movies of today. It is a classic and I'll never get tired of watching it. I pop in "Dirty Dancing" whenever I just want to shut the world out and go back to the 'Summer of '63'. It is a better substitute for antidepressants.
