What were we thinking?
Flipping channels this morning, I caught the end of Dirty Dancing on TV. I have a very clear memory of watching this movie at my house on rented video with a bunch of my junior high friends (one boy and the gang of girls). Some of them had seen it in the theaters but I'm sure my mom would not let me go see a film called Dirty Dancing in the theater (she thought Karate Kid was going to be a kung fu flick and got angry when my dad said he was going to take us). My friends had all been talking about it so much I was very anxious to see it but I clearly remember that I just didn't get it - I couldn't figure out what was so great about it. Watching it this morning, I now think that I was right and they didn't get it. "I know you weren't the one who got Penny in trouble." - blech!

Are you crazy? I love this movie!
I clearly remember watching it on my 7th grade class trip to Niagara Falls and Toronto. We drove up there from Hartford in a big charter bus and watched it in someone's hotel room.
We own the special anniversary DVD and even watched it with the director's comments. :)
I have to agree with Adam on this one. Nobody puts Dirty Dancing in the corner. Nobody.
I'm sorry - I just can't take the dialogue! Maybe if I watched it on mute...
