Doesn't get any dirtier than this!

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2005)

The 60's are something to live by, and this movie brings some important nostalgia there. The cast of this movie are memorable. Patrick Swayze(The Outsiders, Steel Dawn, and Red Dawn) puts on a spectacular role as the cool Johnny Castle. Jennifer Grey(Joel's daughter) plays the naive Baby Houseman, who learns the ropes of dancing. These two main characters build a chemistry so hot, you wouldn't bother neutralizing the two elements. The musical soundtrack is really the bomb, several classics like Bruce Channel(Hey Baby!) I danced along to the song dozens of times. It's funny when Baby and Johnny keep splashing in the water when maintaining their balance. Solomon Burke's "Cry to Me" is memorable all the time. I always shudder when Johnny removed Baby's top in that scene. Gives me the rush every time. Not only does Swayze acts and dances, he sings. "She's like the Wind" blows your mind every time. At the dancing finale Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes "I've Had The Time of My Life" will leave everyone singing and dancing at the same time, and the lift is PERFECT! After seeing this movie I said to myself, "This movie really deserved 3 stars!" Now it gets 2 more because it's a classic!
