1. Dirty Dancing is a 1987 American romantic film written by Eleanor Bergstein, produced by Linda Gottlieb, and directed by Emile Ardolino. The film was based on Eleanor Bergstein's own childhood. Filming took place in Lake Lure, North Carolina, and Mountain Lake, Virginia, with the film's score composed by John Morris and dance choreography by Kenny Ortega.

💕 Read a book set in North Carolina or Virginia
💕 Read a book published in the 1980s.

2. The movie starts with Baby's voice saying “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.” Kellerman's was a resort owned by Baby's father's friend Max Kellerman.

💕 Read a book where a character goes by a nickname.
💕 Read a book set in the 60's or published in the 60's.

3. The movie is not only a great forbidden love story but it is a movie about prejudice and classes. Max Kellerman lecturing the waiters who are "college guys" to romance the guests' adolescent daughters even the ugly ones. " During Max's lecture, Johnny Castle and his musicians enter the restaurant, and Johnny mocks Max's lecture, remarking "Got that, guys?" Max tells Johnny and the musicians that they are governed by different rules. The Entertainment Staff is prohibited to socialize with the female guests.
💕 Read a book where there are two sets of rules for different characters. (Your interpretation)
💕 Read a book with a character who is in college.
💕 Read a book that you find entertaining.

4. The movie has characters that you really love and the ones you really dislike. Three of the most dislikable characters in the movie are Robbie Gould, Neil Kellerman, and Vivian Pressman. Though they have small parts they add significantly to the plot. Lets start with Robbie Gould. Robbie is a waiter in the movie on his way to medical school. He hits on Baby's sister Lisa, knocks up Penny and won't take responsibility and then sleeps with Vivian Pressman when Lisa won't put out. Robbie " I didn't spend all summer long toasting bagels just to bail out some little chick who probably balled every guy in the place." and "Some people count and some people don't."
💕 Read a book with a character called Robbie, Neil or Vivian.
💕 Read a book with a character who is in med school or who is a doctor.
💕 Read a book with a character who refuses to take responsibility for their mistake. (Your interpretation).

5. Second despicable character is Neil Kellerman who is arrogant, and smug. Neil is after Baby and is condescending to the entertainment staff. Telling a story to Baby he says "I have to say it. I'm known as the catch of the county. But, last week, I took a girl from Jamie, the lifeguard. And he said to her, right in front of me, "What does he have that I don't have?" And she said, "Two hotels."
💕 Read a book where a character is smug and condescending.
💕 Read a book that is second in the series.
💕 Read a book with a character who is a lifeguard.

6. Vivian Pressman is an adulterous wife who sleeps around with all the staff while her husband is working during the week or playing cards when he is at the resort. Vivian tries to get Johnny to sleep with her but Johnny turns her down so Vivian goes and sleeps with Robbie Gould. On the next morning she sees Baby leaving Johnny's cabin and decides to get Johnny fired. She tells Max Kellerman that Johnny stole her husband's wallet and Baby steps in and says Johnny was with me giving him an alibi.
💕 Read a book where a character alibis another.
💕 Read a book where someone steals something.
💕 Read a book where a scorned character decides to take revenge.

7. Now to the characters we love. Baby's full name is Frances Houseman, She is shy, innocent and totally insecure, but she has determination, grit, and a strong desire to stand up for the underdog and what is right. She falls crazy in love with Johnny. Baby quote to Johnny "Me?. I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, about who I am and most of all I'm scared of walkin' out of this and never feelin' the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you." She tries to get Robbie to do the right thing, gets her father mad at her when she asks for money and gives it to Penny for an illegal abortion. Stands up for Johnny when he is accused of stealing and finds her own sense of confidence through dancing and her love.
💕 Read a book with a character who develops their own sense of self. (Your interpretation).
💕 Read a book with a character who is scared.
💕 Read a book with a character "crazy in love"

8. Johnny Castle is a handsome dance instructor who is street smart. He dances gracefully and can sweet talk women. Though, as Baby figures out, he hides many feelings about himself, that he expresses only in private, while they're together. He feels like a product in some ways, and he also feels like he's nothing more than a play toy, for women, who want him for a night. Johnny states that "The reason rich people treat me like I'm nothing, is because I'm nothing." He has a gentle boyish soul behind the tough exterior.
💕 Read a book with a character who is a handsome man.
💕 Read a book with a character who is a play toy for another person.
💕 Read a book where a character is tough on the outside but sweet on the inside.

9. There are so many memorable scenes in this movie but I will tell you a few of my favorites. The first one is the scene with Baby still lying in Johnny's bed and Johnny is getting dressed. This is a scene that sets the scene for Vivian asking Johnny to bed.
Baby Have you had many women?
Johnny Castle: Look, you've gotta understand what it's like, Baby: you come from the streets and suddenly you're up here, and these women are throwing themselves at ya, and they smell so good, and they really take care of themselves, I mean, I never knew women could be like that, you know? And they're so rich, they're so goddamn rich, you think they must know about everything. And they're slipping their room keys in my hands, two and three times day, different women. So here I think I'm scoring big, and for a while you think, hey, they wouldn't be doing this if they didn't care about me, right?
Frances "Baby" Houseman: That's all right, I understand. You were just using them, that's all
Johnny Castle: No, no, that's not it. That's the thing, see, Baby, it wasn't like that, they were using me.
💕 Read a book where a character is being used.
💕 Read a book where a character sleeps with a lot of women.
💕 Read a book where a woman smells good. ( Your interpretation)

10. Another great scene is the scene with Baby and her father Jake Houseman (Jerry Orbach). Jake is upset that his daughter lied to him and has been giving her the silent treatment.
Baby I told you I was telling the truth, Daddy. I'm sorry I lied to you, but you lied too. You told me everyone was alike and deserved a fair break. But you meant everyone who was like you. You told me you wanted me to change the world, to make it better. But you meant by becoming a lawyer or a Doctor and marrying someone from Harvard. I'm not proud of myself, but I'm in this family too. You can't keep giving me the silent treatment. There are a lot of things about me that aren't what you thought. But if you love me, you have to love all the things about me, and I love you. I'm sorry I let you down; I'm so sorry, Daddy. But you let me down too.
💕 Read a book where a character tells the truth.
💕 Read a book where a character feels let down.
💕 Read a book where a character is a hypocrite.

11. Another great scene is where Baby's father finds out who really got Penny pregnant. It is the last night of the season and Jake Houseman sees Robbie and hands him a check for medical school. Robbie thanks him for taking care of the problem with Penny and Jake takes the check and tears it into little pieces. Later that night he sees Baby and Johnny and says.
Dr. Jake Houseman: I know you weren't the one who got Penny in trouble. “When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong. You looked wonderful out there.”
💕 Read a book where a character tears up a check or gets given a check.
💕 Read a book where a character admits they are wrong.
💕 Read a book where someone looks wonderful.

12. And can anyone forget the finale dance scene where Johnny goes to where Baby is sitting with her parents and says "Nobody puts Baby in the corner" and drags her on stage. Johnny “Sorry for the disruption, folks, but I always do the last dance of the season. This year somebody told me not to. So I’m gonna do my kind of dancin’ with a great partner, who’s not only a terrific dancer, but somebody who’s taught me that there are people willing to stand up for other people no matter what it costs them. Somebody who’s taught me about the kind of person I wanna be. Miss Frances Houseman.” Then they dance and Baby jumps off the stage and Johnny lifts her over his head and he sings to her as the song "Time of My Life" plays.
💕 Read a book where a character teaches someone something.
💕Read a book that lifts you up. (Your interpretation.)
💕Read a book that each title word is in TIME OF MY LIFE. (Must be minimum of three words. )
