Dirty Dancing (1987)
'Nobody puts baby in the corner.'
Dirty Dancing has been a cult classic, and I can see why; it is an inspiring, iconic, musically superb story about dancing and love amongst breathtaking locations.
The film, which explores the progressing relationship between a wealthy but kind girl nicknamed Baby (Jennifer Gray) and a dance instructor(Patrick Swayze), develops in a luxurious holiday resort in America in 1963.
The film above all has excellent moments of music (including the Oscar winning song 'Time of My Life') and dance (various iconic moments).
While the film never delves deep, it has dramatic elements, most notably revolving around class divisions which is a barrier between Grey and Swayze's characters (Baby's father is not accepting of the dance instructor).
Never dramatically intense, however the film manages to strike a few powerful and even emotional moments, which elevates it to a 7/10.
Falls short of a masterpiece, but a minor classic.
7/10
