Ok, Angela, I will shut up and read.
I thought Dirty Dancing was one of the lamest movies ever to become a hit, but I now realize that there is a reason for everything I simply didn't get before.
I don't know quite what you mean. Talk away; we're a community here.
As for "Dirty Dancing", I think you may have to be a woman to really "get it". :bigsmile:
I've heard it described as soft porn for women. I don't think that's accurate. The sex is by no means graphic enough. It's romantic sex, but more importantly, it's a fairy tale love story for women where the tables are turned and the rich but rather plain girl saves the gorgeous, sexy, lower class man. The dancing is also spectacular, especially the "dirty dancing". Are there women who don't love a man who can dance and make them feel gorgeous and sexy while they're dancing? I don't think so.
Patrick Swayze starred in another movie that women love: Ghost.
I could give you a whole list of them off the top of my head, but an internet list is easier.

I would take out Sex and the City, which I hated, and When Harry Met Sally, but other than that I have no quarrel with the list. What's missing is Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, Persuasion, An Affair to Remember, The English Patient, Bridges of Madison County, Lady Hawk, Camelot, and Beauty and the Beast, just off the top of my head. Some are great stand alone movies, others are not. Most show no sex at all, but they all get to most women.
