In the 1960s, Frances "Baby" Houseman, a sweet daddy's girl, goes with her family to a resort in upstate New York's Catskill Mountains. Baby has grown up in privileged surroundings and all expect her to go on to college, join the Peace Corps and save the world before marrying a doctor, just like her father. Unexpectedly, Baby becomes infatuated with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny, a man whose background is vastly different from her own. Baby lies to her father to get money to pay for an illegal abortion for Johnny's dance partner (Johnny is not the father). She then fills in as Johnny's ... dance partner and it is as he is teaching her the dance routine that they fall in love. It all comes apart when Johnny's friend falls seriously ill after her abortion and Baby gets her father, who saves the girl's life. He then learns what Baby has been up to, who with and worse - that he funded the illegal abortion. He bans his daughter from any further association with "those people". In the first deliberately willful action of her life, Baby later sneaks out to see Johnny - ostensibly to apologize for her father's rudeness - and ends up consummating her relationship with Johnny. A jealous fellow vacationer sees Baby sneaking out of Johnny's bungalow the next morning and in an act of retribution, tells management that he is responsible for a theft the evening before, knowing he would not furnish his real whereabouts. In an act of bravery, Baby states that Johnny is innocent, and alibis him by confessing that they were together all night. This revelation causes a huge rift in the family and Baby makes an impassioned speech to her angry and bereft father. At the closing night performances, and although he has been fired and banned from attending, Johnny returns and takes the stage to tell everyone about the woman whose faith in him and whose courage changed his life. They do one final show-stopping dance together. Baby's father learns that Johnny was not responsible for his partner's pregnancy and learns to accept that although his beloved daughter is transitioning to womanhood, she will always love him.

Wonderful
As this is my favourite movie of all time I can honestly say it is fantastic!!! A magically heart warming, love story with a fabulous soundtrack and Patrick Swayze's dance moves to boot! At the same time touching on a number of emotive issues thoughtfully and with sensitivity which lifts this movie above the rest - sit back relax - see it MY WAY !
Toe tapping great
I remember seeing this movie at the age of 17 in 1987 and it has become one of my favourite films of all time and I have a copy on video but I am now buying on DVD. The music and dancing is electric even after 17 years since it was first made. The two main characters were made for each other.
This film has not aged at all and for a gal of the ripe age of 34 it is timeless and can be watched over and over again. To be honest I have lost count how many times I have watched it.

Set in the summer of '63, Dirty Dancing is the story of Baby (Jennifer Grey), an 17-year-old little girl who loves her daddy (Jerry Orbach) and wants to save the world, one starving Southeast Asian country at a time. While vacationing at a ritzy summer resort with her family, Baby meets Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze), a dance instructor who teaches the mambo by day and does his own kind of steppin' by night. She is instantly attracted to him. He is slightly annoyed by her. But when Baby takes a risk to help out one of Johnny's friends, there begins a powerful romance, one that must be hidden from both the girl's father and the resort owner.

Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that put you on the dancing mood like Saturday Night Fever, Flashdance and others. This is a really feel good movie and I loved it.
Patrick Swayze never failed to make my heart go a-thumpin'!!!! I think I've watched this movie about ten times and I always love it!! Makes me want to do the mambo!!!! Don't think anyone can lift me like that though! LOL.. 10/5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this movie is the greatest of all times. Every since the first time i saw this movie in 1987. I've watched twice a day. My friends and i gather together on Patrick Swayze(Aug. 18) and Jennifer Grey(March 26) birthdays.
Music is life the beauty of dancing and the joy of experiencing the vibe expresses feeling and emotions and this movie really grasp that context to the point of seduction and what sensuality is all about rate it a 10/10.. RIP PATRICK SWAYZE..
