Dirty Dancing

The movie is 20 years old, and for the anniversary it was released, for two nights only, back into select theaters. I was not old enough to see it the first time it was released. I was then only able to see the censored version when WPIX (the now CW)11 was playing it on a random Saturday. I wanted to see it on the BIG screen.

Who better to ask to join me than KDP. She does not know names of movies, names of actors, or lyrics to songs, but this she would know & we'd have a blast. So I ordered tickets & we made a plan.

It. Was. Awesome! Picture watching your favorite movie in your livingroom with 200 of your closest friends who all also happen to love the movie. The theater was sold out; the seats packed a half hour before the show began. Amazing! People sang the words to every song & said every line. And when Johnny says "Nobody puts Baby in a corner" the applause was thunderous. I oouldn't believe people would get so worked up over something they have seen hundreds of times, but they did.
