This month we are celebrating the career of Patrick Swayze with two bookend perennial favorites from his career:

DIRTY DANCING

That was the summer of 1963 - when everybody called me Baby, and it didn't occur to me to mind. That was before President Kennedy was shot, before the Beatles came, when I couldn't wait to join the Peace Corps, and I thought I'd never find a guy as great as my dad. That was the summer we went to Kellerman's.

That was also the summer that people found out just what it meant to dance dirty. Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey star in this classic. Come to dance, come to swoon, come to sing along:

I look in the mirror and all I see
Is a young old man with only a dream
Am I just fooling myself
That she'll stop the pain
Living without her
I'd go insane

dir. Emile Ardolino, w. Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, 1h40m

DONNIE DARKO (original theatrical cut)

Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical.

So, some would say, is this film, but thousands more disagree. Come see it and decide for yourself. If it is already one of your favorite films I don't need to tell you any more, just come celebrate Patrick Swayze's career with one of his last performances.

dir. Richard Kelly, w. Jake Gyllenhaal, Patrick Swayze, Drew Barrymore, 1h53m
