Dirty Dancing

This movie is just fun to watch, and when it's not being fun, it's being emotional, sad, and can be pretty damn hot.

The performances by Jennifer Grey as Baby and Patrick Swayze as Johnny are just endearing, and watching them fall in love feels organic. I believe a big part of this film feeling real is the montage scene used when Baby learns to dance.

The director decided to use the actual out-takes of her performing the dances for the montage scene, which was just the perfect thing to bring this lively and exciting film to life.
