Just because it's not art doesn't mean it's not fantastic

Rating: Null/10 (6 November 1998)

Dirty Dancing is often slated because it just doesn't have much intellectual content, okay so the lead is called Baby, and the guy who teaches her about life is that old cliche, the tough guy who's vulnerable beneath the macho exterior, but that really doesn't matter because this movie isn't about serious matters, it's about two young people falling in love to the rhythm of sexy dancing, and it remains brilliant even after countless viewings. Oh and Patrick Swayze is dead sexy in this, he hasn't been the same since.
