RIP, Patrick Swayze, 1952-2009. He made this one of the sexiest movies ever made.

R.I.P. Eric Carmen, who passed away these days, and sang here the famous and great song "Hungry eyes". Also R.I.P., of course, Patrick Swayze, who died years before in 2009. This is a fantastic movie, iconic for me, with an OST simply amazing.

Actually, Jennifer Grey didn't know how to dance before this movie. What you're seeing is him ACTUALLY teaching her.

Such a joyful reaction to this movie! Baby coming out of her shell and Johnny dropping his tough guy armor makes a great arc for them - loved how you pointed that out.

Please watch more 80’s movies .. Provocative was the theme of the 80’s!! Kids are so soft now. I am 55 . I was about 18 when this movie was released . Please check out more older movies . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I don't remember there being much controversy over this movie at all. It came out at the end of August so the timing was perfect. It really just played as a nice coming of age story. The music and Patrick Swayze drew people in and the movie that cost less than $7 million made over $200 million. I didn't go to a resort in the Catskill area but my family did camp there for a number of years in the late 70s and early 80s in a mobile home park just a few miles west of the City of Catskill.

"I'm pretty sure she just called her sister a communist" 🤣 we've all been there with our siblings

I was a kid when this came out. It was considered provocative but it was also very popular. Enjoyed your reaction !

Great reaction, thanks. Such a pleasure to share watching with you.

Bravo that was a great reaction and it’s funny to say about her dancing she could not dance. She learn how to dance through the movie and had probably each other all went through the movie, but then they became good friends afterwar And Jerry Orbach played play her father, he was in law and order for years and also I’m being and the beast Lumiere great actor he played a heart surgeon. That’s why he saved Max‘s life why he got anything he wanted to kill him he took a vacation before, and Patrick Swayze hurt himself at the end, when he jumped off, the stage hurt his knee, given him pain all the rest of his life, his knee, his mother, his mother ran a big dance school in Texas and real life so he’s been dancing for most of his life time used in the film was the first time Star Wars people came back again to the theaters to see the movie word-of-mouth there was no Internet yet that’s how people get seen over and over again Movie 87 I think or at least one of the top 10 the prequel movie it wasn’t good they’re supposed to make a sequel but then he died so never did the way you described. Everything was great. You made a great movie even better. Thank you for that. Thanks for the fun until next time.

I have watched a ton of movie reactions, and rarely have I come across someone as observant as you. You really pay attention. I must have watched this movie 30-40 times during the same amount of years, and you caught details I've never seen. Definitely like and subscribe!

Patrick’s mother was a dance teacher. He’s been dancing since he was pet young. Met his wife at mom’s dance studio.

Every summer my family, my cousins, my grandparents and a bunch of friends from our church rented cottages at the Pelican Shores rental community in Englewood Beach on the Florida Gulf Coast. We lived in Orlando but went there every year. Yes, Baby's dad, Jerry Orbach, was in Law And Order. Also I have to agree with the others who say you don't have a good understanding of the 80's.

Well that was the best reaction to this movie I've seen and I wasn't expecting it to be lol well done ;)

🙌🏼1st time on your channel:…your observations were spot on. Thank you for appreciating such a masterpiece. You are the epitomy of what movie reactors should be like🥳

Now, watch Patrick Swayze again in Point Break, Red Dawn & Roadhouse. Awesome movies for you.

Thank you for your smiles throughout the movie.

We had a loooot of sexy movies in the 80s.. and sure also in the 70s.. ! ;o) ...there was always sexy movies late at night on the cable, also !! ..today kids are outraged easily, it's funny!

Thank you for your reaction! I especially appreciated your comments on the development of some of the minor characters, as well as your reminiscence on musical theatre and your experience with dance. Thank you for not forgetting the time period: so many reactors are confused by the dad's anger because they don't remember that abortion was illegal. I've been dancing 17 years now and I still love it.

There was a series of sultry mainstream films in the 1980s. "Fatal Attraction" came out that same year. "9-1/2 Weeks" was the year before this, "Jagged Edge" and more. This movie started a big trend and it was all in the middle of heavy 1960s nostalgia. The two soundtrack albums were really popular with women and girls. There was a prime time network TV special on it.

So glad you loved this movie, it’s one of my favourites and I rewatch it at least once a year. Great reaction too, very insightful. I might just have to subscribe (there goes my ambition to reduce my screen time😅).

This movie was a huge summer hit…and it wasn’t considered scandalous, in fact there was an instant popularity in dance classes. Eta: lol the ‘80s were crazy….drugs & sex abounded.

Such a good reaction! The pure enjoyment and excitement you had watching this film was greata 👍🏾

Loved all your comments. So insightful. I also like your professional background where you showed the film. So many of these “first time watching” presenters have trashy backgrounds and tiny windows for the film. You have nice clear voice, too. You may not know but Patrick Swayze wrote and sang “She’s Like the Wind” that played during the scene where Johnny drove away from Baby in the Chevrolet. I look forward to seeing your forthcoming videos, especially “Ghost,” my other all time favorite movie.

This is the first time I've seen a reaction of yours, and I'm hooked. Great job.

31:23 That gorgeous lake doesn't exist anymore. :-/ The whole place was so beautiful. They should've kept it and make a real life "Dirty Dancing" experience with it.

1987! Oh-my-god, what a f*cking nightmare!😁... You make it sound like the 50s. Kids today are way more sheltered than then. I could buy cigarettes and alcohol from any shop with a note from my mum(sometimes forged 😉) when she was bedridden after an op. Maybe it's because we all want to think our parents never did the stuff we did, but they did! And as for film, try watching some 80s teen movies and don't forget porn was still being shown cinemas. Could you possibly be reflecting on your own, modern ideals?🤷🧐😁 Oh, almost fogot, the song "She's Like The Wind" was wtitten and performed(?) by Patrick Swayze👍

PS Momiwbed a dance studio when was growing up .He is classically trained and took Ballet . EG learned for this film I think. She also won Dancing with the Stars 30 yrs later.Patrick would’ve been proud of her I remember thinking.⭐️

Me lol’ing at you being shocked the first time you saw them dancing provocatively thinking, he forgot the name of the movie 😂 I was 7 when this movie came out and I guess we had liberal parents cuz they let us see it. Again, because of the title they knew what they were getting into so they didn’t cover our eyes lol. Also, ab*rtion was illegal in 1963 so that’s one of the many reasons why they probably wouldn’t have made this movie then. This was a great reaction! Glad you loved it so much 💗

This is my first time seeing one of your videos, and I loved your reactions and commentary on the film! I'm subscribing. 😊

LOVED your reaction as much as the movie, which I love and have seen dozens of times. You’re the first reactor to this movie, so far, who hasn’t felt compelled to make snarky comments either out of embarrassment or just idiocy. Also, you understood the history and context of the era. 1963, before the Kennedy assassination and before the Beatles, was still a hangover from the 50s for most of America. “The Sixties” as most know them didn’t set in until after the Beatles arrived in the US. It was funny to hear you be surprised at this being on screen in the 80s. I guess you had to be there lol-the 80s were wild underneath the conservative politics-cousins cowboys, Miami Vice, the last gasp of free love before AIDS fear set in in the general community. I was there as young adult, I remember it all. The 70s were even wilder in some ways-I was there too as a teen lol-but the 80s had their own kind of wild. As far as cinema-wilder stuff than this was onscreen in the 70s and I don’t mean X-rated stuff. But anyway-great reaction to great movie, I really appreciated it and was grateful that you didn’t feel it necessary to make it a snark fest. Thanks:)

I have to say , after seeing your reaction and commentary to " Brokeback Mountain" , it seemed so very genuine and sincere that I'm now a fan of your reactions!

Hmmm 1987, means I would have been 7 when I first saw this movie. Patrick Swayze was my first actor crush.

The thing l like about this movie is that it is so much more than just dance movie!!

It was somewhat provocative, but you have to remember things were a little more racey at this time than you might think. Look at all the heavy metal bands, rock bands, and other movies from this period. I was born in '63 so yes, we were kind of wild

I loved your reaction and commentary throughout the movie. Patrick's mother was a ballet teacher - and he learned ballet at a young age. He's an amazing dancer. Penny was played by the incredible Cynthia Rhodes who was married to singer/songwriter Richard Marx. If you want to see more of her awesome dancing - check out Staying Alive. It's the sequel to Saturday Night Live with John Travolta. Pretty cheesy - but the dancing and soundtrack are incredible. Cheers from Ontario, Canada! :)

The late great Jerry Orbach was the father. Yes he was on a cop show. Not sure I spelled his name correctly.

I watched this quite young maybe 11 but it was my favourite and obv over time understood so much more in the dialogue. though my mother explained to me the abortion scene and the significance of what that meant in the 60s. I also love Patrick Swayze he learnt dance from his mother she owned a dance studio and I believe he also attended ballet school Joffery?

Believe it or not before they genetically altered watermelons. That is what they normally looked like, they also were filled with black seeds that you had to spit out.

I suggest looking up the actors who played the mom and dad. There's some Broadway royalty to be seen... ahem, Tony award winning Broadway royalty. I figure you might dig that info as you seem to be very passonate about the craft of acting and movie making. I really dug your passion and perspective on the movie. "Joyful" is one of the reasons why the movie is so beloved. And an apt description. Yet, one I really don't hear being said about this movie. Feel good yes, but to actually pinpoint "joyful" is pretty observant.

Rest in peace to our Cleveland guy Eric Carmen

I was 7 when this came out in theaters. I remember some of my friends talking about this movie when it came out on VHS. So, I had to beg my parents for the longest time to be able to watch this movie. They watched it first and they liked it but my mom said, just last summer actually, she no longer liked it after my Dad decided I could watch it. Eye roll! I'm 43! Once I was allowed to watch it, I watched it all the time! Most of the non age appropriate things went right over my head. Which I told my mother so she'd know I wasn't screwed up because I watched this at 8 or 9 years old. I'm pretty sure my dad knew why I wanted to watch it and that a lot of it would go over my head. I had the soundtrack and I'd dance along to the dances as best as I could without a partner. I just liked it for the basic love story but mostly for the dancing.

Patrick's mother was a dance teacher and had her own academy. Because in the 60s they were fight about the abortion and some women die because they went to illegal centers. I think the 80s were more explicit in the sex and nudity than today...

This is one of my favourite movies and I loved your reaction to it. ❤️ Great commentary about Baby's character arc and you noticed so many details! Other great 80's movies you might enjoy are Grease with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta and Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere or for a great thriller The sixth sense. Hi from New Zealand 😊

You kinda remind me of a young Anthony Perkins. And that's a compliment btw 😊

I would love to see you react to Closer if you haven’t seen it!

No one expected much from this movie - a nice little B-movie... Man, it was like a earthquake - I remember staying for tickets in a line that went out from the theater nearly down to the bus stop 😅. It has something magical that draws you in emotionally. Btw. Johnnys frustration while teaching Baby dance was actually very real - Patrick was a professional ballet dancer (he had to quit because an bad injury of his knee) and he was a perfectionist Jennifer was neither and as well much younger than him, not to mention he was in often in a lot of pain because of his knee.

I think your idea of the 80’s is a little off 😂 There was a lot of nudity and sex in both 80’s and 70’s films.

this was not so provocative in 1987.

Hmm, let me think 'Dirty Dancy". Seem like a dance movie. Hmm.

People never get the classism and supremacy in this movie. The owners and guest are all rich Jews. The waiters are all at minimum upper middle class Jews. And they look down on all the non Jews as trash. The owners son and probably the waiters are only going the the freedom ride because it will look for for jobs, school and small talk with the right people. Some people count. Some people don't.
