Dirty Dancing

I have loved this movie since I was 10 years old. I've owned it on VHS, on DVD, and now this beautiful Blue Ray edition.The "feelies" in the Collector's Edition are nice; I like the map/brochure of the resort, and the mock shooting script was a fascinating read. I loved seeing the "emotive"/motivational tips in the story, and now I finally know how old Johnny was supposed to be in relation to Baby! The script includes most of the deleted scenes, and some other information that didn't make it verbatem into the final cut. The "I carried a watermelon" wristlet seems fairly sturdy, but with some fraying on the cut/unfinished edges inside. As cute as it is, I probably won't use it, instead keeping it with the rest of the box. The same for the Kellerman's keychain and the compact. The "vintage" postcards are nice, and all the printed feelies are very high quality.As for the movie itself, I've only watched the Blue Ray disc, not the DVD or the digital copy. The print is MUCH cleaner than the 10-year anniversary DVD I have, which looked like it was transferred from an old VHS. There's still a slight grainy quality to the picture, but the colors have been sharpened (some of the clothing and graphics which looked pink on my DVD are now a much more vibrant red) and the audio is crisp and clear.I have some issues with the closed captions; there are some passages that I know are wrong, some lines that are shortened or condensed (which leave out some of the context of the original lines), and I don't like that they don't at least acknowledge the music cues, as the soundtrack is almost a character in itself. Even a simple "(Big Girls Don't Cry playing in background)" would enhance the captions. I did just use the English subtitle track; maybe the other one is better.I love all the extended/deleted/alternate scenes included, and the "Happy Birthday, Dirty Dancing" featurette is wonderful, covering the original movie, the stage show, and the upcoming television movie. We saw a truncated version of this feature when we went to the Fathom Events screening, and there's a bit in there that just made me sob happy tears.Overall, this is an amazing anniversary collection. The restoration of the film is beautiful, the shooting script adds so much more nuance to the story, and the feelies add just a beautiful look into the past.

I bought this for myself for my birthday! If you are a HUGE Dirty Dancing fan like I am, then this is what you want to own. I love all the stuff that came with it. The poster, makeup bag, key chain and compact mirror are fantastic. I also love all of the unseen footage and interviews with Eleanor Bernstein, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey! Just BUY IT! You will NOT be sorry!! LOVE THIS!! ;)

Title was misunderstood via reviews I read.For years, I had always I avoided movie, mostly because of the title.However, after having read the plot and related reviews, then thinking perhaps I'd misjudged the movie, I bought it.Big Mistake.Such vulgar moves depicted in first few minutes of movie I had to turn it off and trash the DVD.Truly, 'the world' thinks highly of this tripe!Well, so does Satan.

I bought this as a gift for myself. I've always been a die hard DD fan, and I've collected a variety of editions over the years. This one, though, I had the highest hopes for and it didn't disappoint! I opened the box and stepped into Kellerman's. My mom and I used to watch DD together at every opportunity and even though she is gone now, this transports me back to that time. I am able to relive those moments of shared admiration and happiness.

i was so sad that Jennifer Grey got rid of her nose. that is most important ... it was perfect just the way it was. but i guess it is not my nose ... so i would not understand. i mean who is not to love in this movie. great summer flick. i have it so many times i have lost track of the amount of times. i own both of the soundtracks. i have visited the locations they filmed in. i love Patrick S. he will always be a fave. so sad when he did pass. i think it is extremely sad when u start losing folks who were famous in your childhood .. i am only 42 and i keep saying when Madonna passes i will die ... so many singers who were famous when i was a kid ... are gone. life is just so quickly flying by. so quick. there is not one will not good part ... so perfect. watch it. love it. good tunes. dancing. heat. passion. summer love. NEVER PUT BABY IN A CORNER!! i mean what fun.

Great movie and played perfectly. Considering I am only a bit younger than the people portrayed in the movie, I can tell you they do a great job with how the people were back then. as teens and early 20s. Swayze was terrific as the hard guy with the soft heart, and Grey was the perfect naive teenager. The chemistry was astounding, and the whole thing took me back to the days in the mid 60s when we went to dance parties with all the great music and friends dancing for hours. Watch the movie, it's great fun, and don't let anyone tell you it wasn't that way back then, because it was very much like that for sure.

I watched this again to wash the taste of the dreadful remake out of my mouth and remembered why the original was so tough to beat. Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze have ridiculous amounts of chemistry and the supporting cast nails it across the board. The dance numbers are awesome and the movie as a whole has held up extremely well over time. A classic definitely worth watching.

I don't think I am being over dramatic to say that this is film most women place in their top 10 favourite films. The fact when the film was realised the production companies attitude was they made a huge mistake and expected it to flop is now hard to imagine, but many of the executives at the time did not realise there was a sub-plot concerning abortion in the story... one thing the American film industry have always been wary off. So when the figures of how many people where actually coming to the box office and sometimes going again was quite a surprise. And even more so when it was actually the highest grossing films of 1987Obviously since then it has exceeded so much more than just being a popular film; Dirty Dancing has had sequels, soundtracks, stage musicals and even dance competitions and is now considered a classic chick-flick.I think the appeal is the fact 'Baby' is all teenage girls struggling with their identity, along with parental expectation and then meeting the 'bad boy'. Many of the audience is also very familiar with the soundtrack having parents playing that music in their childhood homes but also the end did have a happy ending which any woman secretly yearns for that the 'bad boy' turns in to be their 'hero' at the end of the story. It did truly deserve all the adoration, awards and pure affection and turn Patrick Swazye and Jennifer Grey into stars

Is this already not one of the best films ever made? I genuinely thought that everyone had seen it until I brought this up to my grandmother and she shockingly told me that she hadn’t seen it so I got on amazon right away & ordered this for her! Everything about this film is great - the storyline, the acting & the dancing! It’s just fantastic. I bought this as a gift so I’ll need to wait and see what she thinks of it but for me this film is more than worth the watch. If you haven’t already seen it, where have you been?

Still love this movie after all these years. Patrick Swayze was a wonderful actor and dancer, I could watch his dancing for ever and never get tired of it! And Jennifer Grey was perfect for the part of Baby, an amazing actress, she played that part so well, exactly how a young girl would act when she's fallen in love with a gorgeous guy. And he falls for her generous and selfless 💓 heart. 😄

Bought this a few years ago and it went up on the shelf to replace an existing damaged copy, its been a few years but I finally use it for the first time only to find its just as damaged and wont play, seller has my money and ive have another coaster. yay
