As with Grease (1978) and Footloose (1984) before it,Dirty Dancing was a cultural phenomenon that now plays more like camp.That very campiness, though, is part of its biggest charm. And if the dancing inthe movie doesn't seem particularly 'dirty' by today's standards--or 1987's--itdoes take place in an era (the early '60s) when it would have. Frances 'Baby'Houseman (Jennifer Grey, daughter of ageless hoofer Joel Grey) has beenvacationing in the Catskills with her family for many years. Uneventfully. Onesummer, she falls under the sway (as it were) of dance instructor Johnny Castle(Patrick Swayze). Baby is a pampered pup, but Johnny is a man of the world.Baby's father, Jake (Law and Order's Jerry Orbach), can't see the basicdecency in greaser Johnny that she can. It should come as no surprise to findthat Baby, who can be as immature as her name, learns more about love and life--and dancing--from free-spirited Johnny than traditionalist Jake.
Dirty Dancing spawned two successful soundtracks, a short-lived TVseries, and a stage musical. It may be predictable, but Grey and Swayze havechemistry, charisma, and all the right moves. It's a sometimes silly movie withoccasionally mind-boggling dialogue--'No one puts Baby in a corner!'--thatnonetheless carries an underlying message about tolerance and is filled with thekind of exuberant spirit that's hard for even the most cynical to resist. Notthat they'd ever admit it. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Not quite a camp classic, not quite a musical, but close enough
When this movie came out it spawned a hype unlike anything I'd seen before or since.Full of notable quotables ("No one puts Baby in a corner"), having not one but two successful soundtracks (one even featuring the one and only published vocal talents of Patrick Swayze the star of the movie!), and a semi camp classic that the famous 80s movies would go down in history for.Looking back brings so many memories, and so much silliness.

Rating:  - No one puts baby in a corner
I love this film and this disc, which looks great on my very good HD projector.I don't get why the stars are not listed in the Amazon info, though, and why the older, 2000 dvd is labeled blu-ray.
I was right outa college in 1963, and summered in a similar place. The spirit and sound of the film are period perfect.Swayze and Grey are a perfect film couple; they are sympathetic characters with great chemistry.The standard Hollywood conventions and devices mount up by the end, spoiling ...
