Movis You like but you Probably shouldnt

I have seen Dirty Dancing all the way through, once. Awful film. Not seen any of the others.

My one guilty pleasure may be Grease, if that's comparable, but I'm in no hurry to actually watch it again.

I don't think I saw the entire Fame. I didn't care much for Footloose and I don't remember much about Flash Dance. I went with Dirty Dancing.

My only (not so great comment) is that all of them worked on making a "musical" more valuable with a story, since the history of American musicals, specially in movies, is just horrible. A veritable 7 Brides for 7 Brothers, if you ask me, where at least the choreography is outtasight! Fred and Ginger were special because he was such a smooth and great dancer. And their work came at a time, when the American public, if not the world, really needed some inspiration. And they delivered. But we should not leave behind Gene Kelly, who also has one of the most famous pieces of dancing in film! Not to mention a song everyone can hum the first bars of!

and not to overlook Dick van Dyke of Marry Poppins fame, whom is stil alive, very good singer and dancer

 I went with Fame here. I actually watched it again a couple of years ago. Still enjoyed it. Plus the final musical number is pretty epic.

Fame, as a movie was 'so-so' at best but I still watch it.  Probably more for the seens of New York City of the 80s (which I really miss).

Movies that does not shy away from the tropes of teenage angst, tallent school, the underdog prevails and wins, as a prog fan these movies is not on the bragging list of films you like, more in the guilty plessure or not for your taste. But once they had an appeal, a marked and are movies that stil garnes attention. I have enjoyd FAME whenever i have watched it and stil like it,the music of Flashdance is cool i think, and Dirty Dancingis a cult classic imortalized by the very handsome Patrick Swaysey. Whos your choise
