I figured what with all the Swayze Pride going on, this would be a fitting poll.  But it's also for a selfish reason.  My next article for HoboTrashcan, the e-zine I write for, is a tribute to the Swayze.  I just want to see what of his movies people love most.  So pick your Pat and tell us why! 

Mine is Dirty Dancing, natch.  As though any ballerina who began dancing in the late 80s/early 90s could choose otherwise.  I still think it's a great flick with an awesome soundtrack and some great dancing. 

Your turn!  And if you have the interest, the article will be up on the site on Thursday, so feel free to click my sig then.  I'll probably post it when it's up anyway.

Gotta go with Outsiders.  He's the badass in that movie, even though he's only 4 foot tall.
Kind of a bit part, but he does a great job.

Not to be too pedantic, but the full title is To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar.

Believe me, I know (I love that movie.  And your avatar!)  But I got lazy.  I figured people would know what I was talking about.

My cheesy favourite would be Road House (though I'd have to check out Next of Kin again to be 100% sure), but hands down, his best movie is Donnie Darko.

Speaking of which, where's the love? I'm the only vote for To Wong Foo so far.  :(

Wow, If BTA doesn't vote for Red Dawn who will? (Not me, i actually haven't seen red dawn (dodges the inanimate object BTA throws at her))

Wow, BTA has thrown so many inanimate objects at me for having never seen Red Dawn that I can successfully dodge them. Uh Oh looks like he's picking up a wrench ~runs~



(ps: i voted for road house)
