THE BEST OF THE BEST MOVIES EVER!!!!! Patrick & Jennifer was the greatest love story ever...I have watched this movie at least 50 times... I... play the music in my car all the time. Jennifer was fabulous on DWTS. So sad Patrick had to die such a horrible death. He left his mark on dancing! Dirty Dancing forever! Full Review
