    I cried when Julia Child died.
    I cried when Les Paul died...and then Ted Kennedy
    And now I've cried for Patrick Swayze.
    It's like we're losing the best of us.
    I'm afraid I'm becoming a sentimental old man. And yes, 2009 is really sucking.

    For me, the respect began when I saw him in Donnie Darko. Actors who play against their own type are secure in their selves and know how to have fun.

    I admit it: I watched that scene, and I cried, but I was smiling while I was crying. There's something profoundly sweet and joyful and life-affirming about that scene, and Swayze is the catalyst for it. It made me feel as if his presence there were a small but real defiance of death. It's a lovely memorial.

    This is really sad. "Dirty Dancing" is one of those movies I will watch whenever it is on, no matter how many times I've seen it. He was genuinely a really talented guy who always seemed modest and grateful for his success.

    In what universe was Dirty Dancing a sleeper hit? That song was EVERYWHERE in 1987.

    @yourfriendandneighbor: In every universe. You seem not to know what a sleeper hit is. "Dirty Dancing" was a small independent film released by a distributor that prior to this film had done mostly video sales. Its huge success was a total surprise. It was the epitome of a sleeper hit.
