And that’s why it was genuine. Because that friction was there and it was real and then the chemistry grew. Classic movie for a reason. That connection resonates and is forever captured in the hearts of so many.

[melissat]

There’s actually never been another another movie made where there was this much chemistry!

[kathrynt]

There's something special and sweet that used to happen on summer vacations. This movie captured it perfectly. This movie was magical, and the "chemistry" was perfect.

I’m watching Dirty Dancing now with tissue in hand! Dancing and crying and laughing in my living room! Ohh such a classic film bringing back teenage years! The 80’s were awesome. Miss you Mr Swayze 😢😌

[JanneteLopez]

He was everyone's cup of tea!!!
One of the saddest days when we lost him, amazing man!

[KJ-oon]

As amazing as he was, not only he made it work, he sold us all a love story. RIP great guy. X♡

[MarelisaFabrega]

I've watched Dirty Dancing so many times, I've lost count. I love that movie, because of Patrick Swayze.

[MountainGyspy]

How could anyone not have chemistry with Swayze?!?!

[britth]

This is only part of her interview. She goes on to explain how they end up making it work. Which they did.

[sarsarsvintagejewelry]

Patrick Swayze was everything. Just everything.

[BigBoyJesus]

Patrick knew she was uneasy around him because of their time in red dawn, but one day while they were rehearsing he told her, "I will not let anyone or anything hurt you here, I will put my body through the ringer, I would throw myself in front of a train, I will do anything and everything to keep you safe." And after that, we got the movie performances that we know and love now.

[ruthrodriguez]

The chemistry needed, was there. It just took the whole summer to gel. Thank you Jennifer and Patrick. Thank you. This movie made my entire family happy. Living room family time. Thank you.

[jamiemiesler]

No chemistry? You had me fooled! Still one of my favorite movies💘

[lilymoon]

The fact that Patrick wasn’t your typical slicker, he had this genuine moody darkness and earthy charm, that’s what made it work! Their initial adversarial relationship came across so real on screen- because it was. And with the director being a documentary man, he knew how to pick up on genuine, interesting dynamics, no acting required. All of that makes this movie so enduring in a way that transcends it’s apparent limits (having an outspoken feminist screenwriter probably helped too!)

[libbyrn]

I’m 58, she’s 63. So seriously THIS was freaking the BOMB when I was 22. I wanted to be Baby. Patrick Swayze was totally my cup of tea.

[emesass]

I would never have recognized her, she looks like another person.

[ellarobertson]

Hi Jennifer. Sometimes actors who are opposites and who don’t have chemistry end up having a rough chemistry when acting together, which makes magic on film. Your character was amazing and your active was superb and magical. I love this movie.

[jac-attack]

Patrick Swayze's mom had a dance studio in Houston and my English teacher's claim to fame was that his mom made him dance with all the girls while he was living there so she got to dance with him haha. Apparently he was a gentleman and his mother raised him right.

[julietteoscaralphanovember]

When my son was very little, we had to watch this movie over and over, I've seen it hundreds of times

[dontdiscriminatehateeveryo]

Still one of my favorite movies. Awesome soundtrack and great performances. Patrick seemed like a great dude and I wish he was still here making the world look better. Jennifer has aged well and looks great.
