Dirty Dancing

Expecting the usual ennui that accompanies a summer in the Catskills with her family, 17-year-old Baby Houseman (Jennifer Grey) instead finds herself in love. The object of her affection: the resort's free-spirited dance instructor, Johnny Castle (Patrick Swayze). But Baby's disapproving dad soon steps in to keep Johnny from putting the moves on his artless daughter. The film earned Oscar honors for Best Song ("I've Had the Time of My Life").
