Hungry Eyes...

Do you remember that song?
Do you know what movie it was from?

This one sillly!!!

This has to be one of my all time favorite movies. Besides the hungry eyes song, because when I was little I actually thought eyes could be hungry or that someone would want to eat eyes...ewww, but I understand it now...he likey what he see! :) Anywho, enjoyed all the  songs and dances in this movie.

I don't know what my mom was thinking letting us watch this at a young age, but I remember me and my older sister would watch this and try to recreate the dance moves. Shit, how do you think this white girl got the sweet ass dance moves I got today? One of the stupiest dances we tried was the run, jump, and throw in the air move. Obviously we crashed and burned trying to do that, it is not a dance intended to be done but elementary/middle schoolers..FYI! :( We also tried the one where Johnny and Penny first get to the members only club and they have their big dance solo. Again having my sister throw me around while I violently shook and shimmied was not a pretty picture.

I don't know why but I def. heart this movie and I wish they made movies like this today....and whoever thought to make Havana Night's....I give you a big middle finger. Sorry if anyone liked that movie but their is no way you can make a sequel (was that even considered a sequel?) to Dirty Dancing!

Here's some of my favorite parts:





And of course THIS

Do you like this movie....what's your favorite part?!

(P.S. God rest Patrick Swayze's soul..he will forever be Johnny to me!)

I used to LOVE this movie...probably watched it over a hundred times in middle school! I actually have it on DVD now but haven't watched it once since it always seems to be on TV! :)

I am SO ashamed to say I have never seen this movie! I know, right? Am I human?! Haha, I need to get on this, and quickly.

I loved that I only got all the innuendos, etc. once I watched it when I was older. As a little kid (I watched it wayyy young, too) I didn't catch on to everything! How naive!

Gotta love dirty dancing! Definitely a classic and all time favorite!!

Ohhh yes - I use to watch this movie ALL THE TIME and mom and I played the soundtrack in the car (ON TAPE) ALL THE TIME! So classic!

I like when Baby is learning the dance and is dancing on the bridge and up and down the stone steps. Her clothes get more and more skimpy. Too funny.

I remember watching that on TV when I was younger thinking oh man if mom catches me watching this I am gonna be in sooo much trouble! haha

This would honestly have to be my all-time favourite movie.

I have secret fantasies about something like this:

Brittany said...

I actually haven't watched this movie in quite some time, but my mom used to listen to the sound track all the time when I was younger. So when i was about 4 or 5 I knew all of the words to every song! We even have video of this...it's too funny!!

My neighbor and I used to invite all the neighbor kids to our garage and force them, I mean let them watch us dance to Dirty Dancing songs. Oh, how I wish I was kidding. Our Hungry Eyes moves were quite...um, interesting.

I literally spit tea when I read this. OMG, too funny!!!

I do love this movie. I remember not understanding why Baby's dad was so mad at Johnny or what the bad doctor did. My mom was like, "Just enjoy the dancing, honey."

I have to say, I didn't get into Dirty Dancing until I was older. And yes, it still has great music and makes me want to dance.

ThoughtsON said...

Love it. It's one of those few movies that I Always watch when it comes on tv. Nobody puts Baby in the corner. :)
And now that song is stuck in my head. Thanks. lol

I remember watching this again in college and being totally horrified that my parents let me watch this in like middle school. What were they thinking?!?!?!
