Dirty Dancing.

[DawnCt1]

I dvr'd it the other night. I usually do when its on. I just watched it again. Do you get that sharp pang of sadness when you see Patrick Swazey when he was young and healthy.

 

[720L]

Yes! He is such a handsome, talented man. I just bought the anniversary edition DVD of Dirty Dancing. It's one of my favorite movies.

Dirty Dancing and Roadhouse are two of my favorite older movies to watch!

 

[NEVERENOUGHWDW]

It was on the other night & it was strange because I always watch it & then I realized how sick PS is....very sad.

I have to say it seems he is putting up quit a fight, he & his wife must be very strong.

 

[Serena]

I know Patrick Swayze has done most of his stunts, he's a daredevil and I figured one day something would happen.

But cancer? It makes me angry actually. But I guess cancer makes me angry anyway, it's insidious.

 

[PattnFmly]

Absolutely one of my favorite movies! DH always seems to come in the living room when I'm watching it, say ..oh that movie again?.. and walk out again! He just doesn't get it!!!

 

[Mickeyistheman]

Oh yes, I watched it the other day and I just love the movie, but it does make me very very sad. Ghost was on too and I can't watch it right now.

I just pray and hope he can beat this somehow, wouldn't that be such great news if he went into remission. I know its probably a long shot but one can hope right

 

[Planogirl]

I had such a crush on him when I saw him in that movie. He was just amazing to me.

 

[Sandy51]

I watched it the other night, also. Yeah, it made me sad. On another note, I noticed that most of the clothes that Jennifer Grey wore in the movie are in style today; peasant blouses and flowered skirts, tank tops and jeans shorts.
Not the mohair sweater, though.

No matter how many times I see "Dirty Dancing", it's hard to turn away. I don't want to think of Patrick Swayze as a frail man battling cancer... it's better to think of him in "Dirty Dancing".

I recently lost an uncle to cancer. I'm not remembering him as someone who lost to cancer. I'm remembering him as a strong man, a good husband to my aunt and a good father to my cousin, a good brother to his siblings.

I made Dh watch it recently. It is one of my favorites and it does sadden me to see how he looks today. Dh didn't know he got his start in dancing. Dh love him in Black Dog???? or something like that and it has been on quite a bit recently.

I love Dirty Dancing and DH loves Roadhouse!

Yes, I am sad for Patrick Swayze.

Yes...absolutely...it was on a few weeks ago and that is exactly what I felt/thought I lost a dear friend to pancreatic cancer in 2007. Six months to the day from when he was diagnosed....

 

[Serena]

My mom died of pancreatic cancer too. It's hard seeing the same things happen to him. My mom lasted 6 months after they finally figured out what was wrong. The doctor didn't think she would make 6 weeks.

I was never a big Patrick Swayze fan - we have a "history" - but I feel so very bad whenever I see his picture in print. He really looks so thin and frail.I hope he is one of the few who is able to beat this horrible cancer.

ps - Our history is that when he was in SW Va. filming Dirty Dancing, I was hit by his limo while I was on my bike. I was ok - but, honestly, he wasnt that nice to me (maybe he thought I was going to sue him ....) It WAS really fun going to the Marriott where the dancers all stayed - they would dance at night in the club there, just like in the movie! (Maybe even a bit more 'dirty"!!) Several of my friends were extras inthe movie - its always fun to see them in it. (I could have been, but my boss wouldnt let me have the time off )
