Dirty Dancing [1987]

starring: Patrick Swayze, Garry Goodrow, Neal Jones, Lonny Price, Jennifer Grey
directed by: Emile Ardolino

Release Date September 17, 2007
What a film this is!!It is a firm favourite with myself, my 2 sisters, and my daughter, and we range in age from 22 to 50!! The film is great, the dancing is fantastic, the sound track is wonderful, it has everything a girl could want. It recently won a poll for the best chick-flick of all time, and I know, because I voted for it!! It is one to watch over and over. Patrick Swayze is SO fine, and yes, we would all LOVE to have been Jennifer Grey.I know that it was made on quite a low budget, but what a success it has been. I think in 20 years time, it will STILL be voted best chick-flick, and what more can I say? The time of our lives? You bet!!

Dirty Dancing 20th Anniversary Collector's Edition [1987]

starring: Patrick Swayze, Garry Goodrow, Neal Jones, Lonny Price, Jennifer Grey
directed by: Emile Ardolino

Release Date October 22, 2007
Dirty Dancing is one of those movies that you either love or hate. Watching it again over 20 years after its first release, it was funny this time around to register a social and cultural subtext and to recognise what a macho thug Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze) really was: after he has beaten up the preppy waiter Robbie Gould, Baby doesn't seem worried at all that he might one day turn his fist on her; in fact she cuddles him tenderly! Baby (Jennifer Grey) was more sexually assertive than I had remembered: it is she and not Johnny who initiates the movement of their relationship onto the next level by laying her romantic feelings bare. Their growing intimacy might have been socially unusual - an unworldly daughter with political ideals from a wealthy, ... Read More:

Pretty Woman Ost

by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date April 23, 1990
Y'know, soundtracks are always just cashing in on a movie, and are usually just a few tracks thrown together at minimal cost. However.......this collection really works! It has a great cross-section of mainly glossy, upbeat mainstream tracks, with a ballad or two thrown in, that provide not only the soundtrack to the movie, but also the soundtrack to that period in time. Favourites for this 80's boy were Go West, Jane Wiedlin, and Roy Orbison. Great soundtrack, great compilation of its time.

More Dirty Dancing

by: Various Artists

Release Date June 01, 1996
I thought this follow up to the soundtrack was even better than than the original one. It really has the spirit of the movie in it,and once played you are literally at Kellermans in 1960's. It has all the tracks as they appear in the film, not the radio version of song like on the first album aswell as the music to the dances themselves, so if u are a true fanatic of the film and have managed to pick up the moves then u will be sorted as you now have the music!

Grease

by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date April 23, 2007
On the one hand, I am strangely drawn to the carefree and rather shallow exuberance of 'Grease', and it's songs, but on the other, I find it completely repellent.

Because 'Grease' and it's accompanying soundtrack fail to chart the lows that a person's teenage years can provide. Somewhat accurately, it charts the lust and the obsession with sex that tends to characterise most teenage behaviour, but this film has nothing for the misfits and the individuals who have never been a part of the popular crowd.

In essence, 'Grease' and it's accompanying soundtrack are a blatant nod to conformity, and the message is simple: conform, be part of a gang, be sex-obsessed, be shallow.

For example, there is the unbearable 'Summer Nights', ... Read More:

Footloose

by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date May 03, 1999
When Footloose came out in 1984, it was an instant hit. Everybody I knew raced out to see it, and a lot of the tunes from it became hits. Well, celebrating the 15th anniversary of the release of the movie, this CD was released with all of the tunes digitally remastered! In fact, as a bonus, this CD has four tracks that were not on the original album.

OK, what can I say? This CD isn't just the soundtrack of the movie Footloose, it's almost a soundtrack of 1984! Among its great tunes are Footloose, Let's Hear It For The Boy, and a tune I really love, Holding Out For A Hero. Yep, I love this CD. If you are into 1980s music, then this is a great album to get!

Dirty Dancing [1987]

starring: Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Jerry Orbach, Cynthia Rhodes, Jack Weston
directed by: Emile Ardolino

Release Date July 02, 2001
Dirty Dancing is a movie that is hyped up to the limit. It is recognised as one of the best chick-flicks and has somehow entered the books as a classic that you simply have to see. With all this in mind I only got around to watching this movie a year ago and have since watched this three times, each time hoping to discover what it is that seems to make this movie special and unique but I am sorry to say that I fail to see what's so great about this movie.

The story is simple. Baby (Jennifer Grey) is on holidays with her parents. She meets local dance teacher Johnny (Patrick Swayze), she learns the passions of dance while also learning a few things about love and life at the same time.

Undoubtedly the best thing about this movie is the music, which ... Read More:

Top Gun

by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date April 02, 2001
Classic soundtrack. This album has everything. Kenny Loggins establishes himself as the master of powerful, catchy 80s cheese with the immense Danger Zone and fun-as-you-like Playing With The Boys. Berlin's Take My Breath Away is possibly THE greatest ballad of all time. Harold Faltermeyer's Top Gun Anthem is about as moving a piece of music can be. A must have.

Flashdance

by: Original Soundtrack

Release Date August 17, 1998
The song Flashdance is of course part of musical history now, so of course you want it...is the album from which it came a gold-mine of similar hits...? Well, nearly.
There are some great songs here, in fact I'd buy the album alone for the two very strange tracks "He's A Dream" by Shandi and "Manhunt" by Karen Kamon" which are SOOOO 80's you just have to love them. Then there are two tracks by major artists (Donna Summer and Laura Branigan) that don't appear on any other album by them (as far as I know). Both pretty good, unusual productions.
The rest of the album is made up of drippy ballads and the WORST power-pop track you will ever hear - "Seduce Me Tonight" by Cycle V (who???). And I'm sorry, but even the celebrated track "Maniac" ... Read More:

Pretty Woman (15th Anniversary Special Edition) [1990]

starring: Richard Gere, Julia Roberts, Ralph Bellamy, Hector Elizondo, Larry Miller
directed by: Garry Marshall

Release Date September 12, 2005
For anyone who hasn't inhabited Earth and missed this one then it comes highly recommended as one of the best fantasy Romantic Comedy drama's with a fantastic soundtrack ranging from Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" from the title and Roxette's classic "It must have been Love"...Richard Gere plays an ultra wealthy business property tycoon Edward Lewis obsessed with the kill but lonely enough to employ the services of an apprentice hooker in Vivian Ward played by Julia Roberts only to find that love can be sought in the strangest places....Welcome to Hollywood and what's your dream...well Vivian wanted all or nothing whilst Edward just wanted a short hire and fire with no strings......what followed was one of the most chemistry based modern romantic comedy drama's of today..it's hard to believe it celebrated ...
