I would normally write more, but honestly, I’m a little at a loss for words here. While he has been sick, it’s hard to imagine him being gone. He has been such a part of pop-culture since Ghost and Dirty Dancing. In a year when we’ve already lost Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, it’s hard to lose another icon – and Patrick Swayze cemented his place as a pop-culture icon the moment he uttered the words “Nobody puts Baby in a corner. He will be dearly missed. Let’s keep his family in our thoughts at this time and appeal to the press to let them deal with his passing in private.

This is my favorite love scene of all time. So much love and tenderness – real intimacy without being smutty. This is a beautiful scene, so I’ll post it here to send off an incredible actor and a pop-culture icon.

Rest in Peace, Patrick.

Legendary line from a legendary movie. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Gray had a special kind of magic that rarely happens on screen. She was adorable and innocent. He was hunky and rugged – were the perfect on screen couple.

Dirty Dancing will go down in history as one of the best chick flicks ever made. It’s the perfect date movie because, secretly, guys like it too. They might not admit it, but it’s a proven fact. Proven by who? Who cares!

There are so many things to love about this movie it’s impossible to list them all here. Just watch it and love it as much as I do!
