1. I thought Baby's sister did a better show.

Her dancing was heavenly and her singing was like the voices of angels.

2. Can somebody build a time machine, go back, and tell her not to fix her nose? nt

5. Agreed.

Loved her old nose.

11. She looks better with the new nose. Her old nose was not only large, it didn't fit her...

it didn't fit her face and was kinda funny shaped. She is much more attractive, now.

If you had never come to know her with the old nose, you'd think she was pretty as she is.

3. Funny. It involved an illegal abortion. Interesting timing.

[LynneSin]

4. They talk about doing a remake of the movie but it would be nothing like the original

You think they could get away with a movie geared towards teenagers and young adults that include an abortion (legal or illegal) in it.

And it's funny that the douchebag waiter who knocked up the girl and then refused to help - he was reading Ayn Rand. (he was reading 'The Fountainhead' and said he bookmarked all the good stuff. As someone who has never read that book I have no clue what 'good stuff' was in there)

6. There are a lot of movies you can't remake now - "Blazing Saddles" for example.

"Dirty Dancing" was pretty damn clean overall, but it did deal with some rough subjects. Hell, I doubt you could even remake "Driving Miss Daisy" now.

7. Too bad Patrick did not live long enough

to appear on Dancing With Stars. He would have been a shoo-in winner.

8. One of my FAVORITE movies EVER!

Especially all the dance parts...but the story line is great too!

Nice escape from real life.

9. I was hoping 25 years would make it better, but...

no such luck.

10. DAMN that man was hot.

Jesus.
