Dirty Dancing
The great classic among summer movies, the romantic and the musical. You’ve probably seen Dirty Dancing once or maybe you even know it by heart. Or not, but surely you have seen some of the most repeated or parodied scenes in the history of cinema. Johnny is a dance teacher and Baby is a young woman who has gone on vacation with her family. Both (Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey) they will meet at a vacation resort and they will feel an obvious attraction that they are capable of demonstrating when they dance, although Baby’s family will not approve of this relationship and will impose itself on her… A romantic classic that you can watch as many times as you want on Netflix and that has been an absolute success for already fifty years.
Another of the striking aspects of Dirty Dancing is the number of issues that it deals with and that were considered controversial at the time the film was released, such as women’s sexual freedom or that they were the ones who took the initiative in relationships In addition to abortion. Despite the fear of its creators for these issues, Dirty Dancing is one of the best summer movies if you are looking for something romantic and full of music, dance, love.
