I have seen this film more times than I can count. I can't explain why I love it so much, most memories of my childhood are of me, the sister and the not quite sister waltzing around the house in our nighties, on our tiptoes, channelling Baby.
For the longest time, the majority of the plot was lost on me. I knew Penny got knocked up by Robbie the creep, I just didn't know what knocked up was. I knew that it was bad for Baby to be in Johnny's room all night, I just didn't know why. All I knew was that I needed to find a man that could wear a mullet and a leather jacket, move his hips to the rhythm and sweep me off my feet, possibly in a lake.
Dirty Dancing is my feel good film. One of my go to happy places. A film that I will always watch if it is on the telly, a DVD I will dig out any chance I get.
It may not be the greatest film ever made, but to me it is perfection.
Just don't call it a musical.
