 Swayze is hot. As always.Mar 20, 2010
This movie first came out right about the time I should have been scandalized by it's contents. All my friends loved it. I think now I can actually appreciate it. Swayze truly knows how to move.
Great Film!Feb 11, 2010
I cannot believe I waited until my 20's to see this movie! I think it's a classic and a must for any dance enthusiast. :)

 ultimate is not 20th anniversary editionJan 31, 2010
i wish id known there was such a difference between the versions, so beware. i got the ultimate--but it is not. saw the newer one in a store and it has many extras that ultimate does not. i am ordering the 20th ann. one--NOT on blu ray--and donating the ultimate to the library.

If you're a "Dirty Dancing" fan, this Anniversary edition has it allJan 24, 2010
Fans of "Dirty Dancing" seem to get hooked on it, and if you're like me, there's no such thing as watching it too many times. There's a reason why this sleeper took off, and has remained a staple in the coming-of-age genre since its release.
This film remains my personal favorite, and the 20th Anniversary Edition has it all in terms of what was going on behind the scenes, screen tests, different versions of some of the scenes, some with additional footage that was edited out, as well as scenes that were not included in the film. The extra information on this edition highlights what it took to come up with the final version of the film, and watching the extra footage enhances our understanding of the characters we've loved, as well as the story, while showcasing the expertise of the editors in knowing what to leave out. It's an engaging, entertaining view of what gave us the final version of "Dirty Dancing" that has endured.

 AVOID THIS BLU-RAY~Jan 18, 2010
First, the movie, the story, the characters are all wonderful, they get 5 stars. This Blu-ray, it gets a 1 star (I wish I could give it less). A common issue with early blu-ray discs are lack of qualtiy. The color, graininess and "WIDESCREEN" on this Blu-ray are all a joke. Talking to the people who did the work on this Blu-ray; if you're going to transfer garbage then all you're going to get is 1080p, hi-def garbage! Whoever did the work on this Blu-ray release does not know what they are doing and most likely did not care. The skin tones go from just OK to bright pink and even orange (we're talking skin tones that would make an Oompa-loompa jealous). The transfer is also dark, lacking all the great details that the movie is known for, leaving those of us who watch this film with a less than full (forget about "BEYOUND HIGH DEFINITION") experience. The graininess on every version of this film is bad and this Blu-Ray is no exception, it is very distracting. Then, finally, the "WIDESCREEN" part of my review, the back of the Blu-ray tells us that it is 16x9 or 1.85.1 - DUH! The thing is Blu-ray, of course it is widescreen! Not to mention that they stretched the whole thing, the people look like they've all been on a mid-evil torture device.
My advice is to stick with the "Ultimate" version of the movie on DVD and watch it though your Blu-ray player's up-converter feature. You will end up with a much more enjoyable experience
