Dirty Dancing


 I have seen this movie so so many times. But I don't mind - there are some films that a person can just watch again and still get the same amount of enjoyment from it. I hope that this is a film that younger generations continue to experience and discover. For me, it is the ultimate dancing movie and I don't particularly like dancing movies. The plot is very relevant for the world today. I won't describe what it is to not spoil it for anyone who hasn't actually seen it but is handled in a very mature way. The film is full of great dance scenes and the iconic line, "nobody puts baby in the corner."  So of course I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it, and I think it should be on a list of must-see in the 1980s. I do have one question though - I had never noticed this scene before watching it with my kids. Baby is intrigued by the dancing of Johnny, so she notices that all the staff members of the camp live in a separate section of the camp and there's music coming from there, so she wants to go and watch them dance, but she's intercepted by Johnny's cousin who is carrying gigantic and oddly shaped watermelons. She goes into the dance carying one of these gigantic watermelons and is confronted by Johnny who says to her what are you doing here, and she says the what should be iconic line but is not "I carried a watermelon."  I guess my question is what is the deal with those watermelons why are they so big where did they get them? So if you know, please inform the rest of the world through one of your reviews of this great film.
