E! True Hollywood Story: Dirty Dancing (2000)
Good info on the making of the movie
After watching this, it surprised me to learn the movie was filmed just a short distance from me in North Carolina. I never knew Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey really didn't get along, the chemistry on screen did not let on. The rainy scenes was actual weather conditions that they endured during the filming. As most of us southerners know, the weather in this area is fickle. They had to deal with temperature extremes, from "seeing your breath" cold, to "pass out" hot. And the Carolinas are infamous for their bugs (mosquitos)which bit cast and crew alike. Also it informed me that Cynthia Rhodes is married to Richard Marks, who is one of my favorite singers from the 80's, and is a full time mother now.
One day I hope to go to the actual location and see the grounds, (if they have it open to the public).
Sing (1989)
Good Movie
I felt the movie was a good movie. The story of a school being closed in a dying area is not always happy. When the decision is made and the community hasn't had any input, it's a shock and a hardship on many.
For the students of the school to want to go out with a blaze of glory and to do just that is what makes this movie enjoyable.
Sure it was in the late 80's and as with all movies, the music in it reflected the current time.
It is one that I have on video and watch over and over again.
