The Bottom Line:
Dirty Dancing, despite being considered a classic in some quarters, is a tepid romance whose screenplay connects the dots in such a way that every part of the movie is guessable from the very beginning; watch it if you're into this kind of movie, but otherwise stay far away.
THIS IS NOT THE BLU-RAY VERSION

Even I love this movie... 2008-09-02
This movie was made in 1987...I was born in 1986... and it is hands down one of my very favourite movies. It's even greater to update it for us, the "microwave generation" and I like that I have it on hand whenever I want to watch it.

Not quite a camp classic, not quite a musical, but close enough 2008-08-14
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.
Jennifer Grey plays Baby, a nice Jewish girl who is vacationing with her family in the Catskill mountains. I can't imagine, even in the times that this movie was set in, that any gal would tolerate being called Baby by her family, let alone be introduced and allow strangers to call her Baby as well, but I guess that was the point. There she falls for Johnny, the sexy swaggering bad boy of the entertainment staff who dances his way into her innocent, sheltered heart. Just a little idealistic, just a little far fetched, but just enough of a fantasy to keep things lite and airy.
There werea plethora of subplots (the sister in her own infatuation with the waiter, Johnny's partner needing the abortion, the inevitable confrontation between Baby's father and Johnny, etc.). The song and dance routines were spaced out in between enough dialogue and plot development to make it otherwise a musical, but not quite. It's just cheesy enough to make everyone like it.

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 the "willing suspension of disbelief". For a while, though, you can forget this is a Hollywood movie. Regardless of its increasing implausibility as the film barrels along, I still felt tears well up at the finale.
