I had the Time of my Life!

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2004)

My mother took me to see this movie in 1987, when I was all of 11 years old.
I think the 'Dirty' part of the title was quite fitting for my age at the time. I was mesmerised then as i am still today of DD. The well known fact that Jennifer Grey & Patrick Swazey didn't get along behind the scenes shows you what magnificent acting was portrayed. The sexual chemistry between these 2 characters was binding! I can still watch DD today and feel the same energy as there was in 1987. 17 years ago Eleanor Bergstein brought her beautifully written story to be directed by Emile Ardolino who unfortunately pass away 20 November 2003. Their vision unsurpasses any Dancing Film that has come since. The year was 1963, it was a time where all 'Baby' had in mind was that she wanted to join the 'Peace Core' and her father was the most important man in her life. The first time she sets her eyes on the rebellious dancer 'Johnny', was a moment to change her life forever. A timeless classic, Dirty Dancing will always be a coming of age movie for myself. Dirty Dancing is a film that will not be forgotten, and no other dancing film that has followed, and will follow (in my eyes) can match the intensity that it portrays. 10/10 in my eyes, because I had the 'time of my life'.
