Dirty Dancing

1987. 100 m. Emile Ardolino. Lionsgate. US. English. Rated PG-13.

Series

Bracing for another boring family vacation at a Catskills resort, 17-year-old Frances “Baby” Houseman (Jennifer Grey) finds herself unexpectedly immersed in the resort’s underground dance scene and falling head over heels for the lead dance instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze).

One of the most iconic and vital summer camp movies ever made – with show-stopping choreography and an endlessly quotable screenplay – Dirty Dancing is a rousing coming-of-age tale that forever changed the pop culture landscape.

“The dancing here brings out the sensual dreaminess of the songs. Dirty Dancing -- what a great title! -- is such a bubbleheaded, retro vision of growing up in the sixties (or any other time) that you go out of the theatre giggling happily.”
Pauline Kael, The New Yorker
