Product: Dirty Dancing (1987)
Rating: 5.0
"Excellent Film From The 1980's"
"Dirty Dancing" has always held a special place in the hearts of its audience ever since it was released in 1987, but perhaps with the death of Patrick Swayze in 2009 from cancer, the movie holds an even deeper place in those that know and love the film. One of the biggest hits from the late '80's ( the film has grossed so far 213 million dollars), "Dirty Dancing" stars Jennifer Grey (Joel Grey's daughter) as a young girl who falls in love with a good-looking dance instructor (played by Swayze) in 1963 much to the chagrin of her father. The movie is notable for its amazing soundtrack and the fact it won the Academy Award that year for Best song for "(I've Had) The Time of My Life". The film would be the first ever sell a million copies on home video. Kenny Ortega, most famous now for choreographing "High School Musical", got his start in "Dirty Dancing" creating the dance steps. This deluxe 2 disc 20th Anniversary Edition is filled with bonuses including extended and deleted scenes, audio commentary, videos, and original screen tests.
