With almost half the vote, "Star Wars for Girls" (better known as Dirty Dancing) trounced the competition in the recent poll in which I asked readers to select their favorite Patrick Swayze movies. Although Dirty Dancing's win was predictable, there were some surprises. I was pleased to see To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar do as well in the poll as it did. Even though it was made after Patrick's movie career had peaked and featured him in an atypical role, apparently a lot of people dug it (I did).
The lack of love received by The Outsiders in the poll surprised me a bit too. Greasers usually come out in droves to vote in my polls, but not this time. Maybe there was a Sha Na Na convention taking place somewhere.
Here are the final results:
Dirty Dancing- 46%
Ghost- 27%
To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar- 21%
Point Break- 19%
Red Dawn and Road House- 8% each
The Outsiders- 4%
Other- 0%
