Who puts Baby in a corner?

The answer, as any girl who ever wanted to make out with a boy at summer camp, any girl who ever wanted to tango with a man from the wrong side of the tracks, any girl who felt like her father just didn’t understand, and any girl who practiced moving her hips to the rhythm in a suggestive and “dirty” way could tell you, is a resounding NOBODY!

Nobody puts Baby in a corner. Why? Because Patrick Swayzee, aka Johnny, said so. And he’s still saying so, twenty years after Dirty Dancing was first released in theatres.

I’ve watched this movie dozens, possibly hundreds of times in the last two decades. Some may disagree, but try as I might, I can’t find one single flaw with the film. It’s perfect beginning to end.

If there’s anything better than watching your favorite film on it’s 20th anniversary, it’s watching it outdoors on a lovely New York night next to the Hudson River with hundreds of other fans that agree with you.

I give you the best scene in the best movie ever:
