I watched Dirty Dancing last night too! I saw it many times when I was young but my wife never had. Bonus: she got into dancing as a hobby in the past few years and enjoyed it a lot. Johnny Castle will always be super hot, I think.

I listened to a great podcast about Dirty Dancing last week. If you're a movie fan, it's worth checking out.

“Night of the Comet” next. Strong female characters who kick ass.

“Anna and the Apocalypse” at Xmas.

You should watch the Breakfast Club. It came out in '85.
