Of course it’s also a movie filled on wrong assumptions, from abortion to theft.
This is the movie which brought everyone’s attention to Patrick Swayze, who had also co-starred with Jennifer Grey in the previous years Red dawn. Although there were problems with the pair’s chemistry off set, the screen fell for their natural, all American style looks and charm.
Now, although this review is rather short, IF you’ve never seen the movie, give yourself a break. I promise you “The time of your Life.”
TRIVIA:
Delays in the shooting schedule pushed filming into the autumn, which required the set decorators to spray-paint the autumn leaves green. The uncooperative weather then took a different turn, plunging from oppressive heat to down near 40 °F (4 °C), causing frigid conditions for the famous swimming scene in October. The crew wore coats, gloves and boots. Swayze and Grey had to go barefoot once again, strip down to light summer clothing, and repeatedly dive into the cold water. Despite her character's enjoyment, Grey later described the water as "horrifically" cold, and that she would not have gone into the lake, except that she was "young and hungry".
It was the first film to sell over a million copies on home video.
The film's soundtrack started an oldies music revival,] and demand for the album caught RCA by surprise. According to Previte, before a single had even been released, there were a million albums on back-order. The Dirty Dancing album spent 18 weeks at number 1 on the Billboard 200 album sales charts and went platinum eleven times, selling more than 39 million copies worldwide

A romantic comedy western satire. Also, a tale of mistaken identity.

Now there's a good (obscure) one, though I'm still not completely sure what it was about (even after reading a bunch of on-line "interpretations").
Dragonheart
Dragon Wars
Day After Tomorrow (pathetic)
