I was a big fan of Patrick Swayze when I was younger. I know he had many big hits, but I even liked his action movies, Point Break, Road House, Next of Kin. Not that they weren't likable but I was just a little girl when they came out. I don't know maybe that was my Dad's influence on me. I also liked Steven Seagal a lot back then too. So, when he dies, expect a post about him.
Once I got into my teen years, my girl crush on Patrick Swayze faded, but I always thought he was a good actor. Though he didn't get too many great parts later in life, he was in Donnie Darko, which I loved.
Still my favorite Patrick Swayze movie is definitely between Ghost, Dirty Dancing, and The Outsiders. I'll tell you, it is a super close race. They were all great.
I mean Ghost had a great cast, a great story, and a great ending.
Dirty Dancing was sexy and light-hearted and made you want to dance.
Then, we have The Outsiders. Also a great, great cast, though no one knew just how great at the time. Also a great story with a solid ending.
In fact, The Outsiders is my favorite. What sets it apart is the fact that I can watch this movie over and over and over and find something new every time. It is a true classic, of which Swayze was a very important part.
