Patrick Swayze — a man for all reasons

Dirty Dancing Climax
Reflecting over the last day, it struck us how just how amazingly unique a pop culture figure the late Patrick Swayze really was. The guy pretty much defined heartthrob in both the dangerous bad boy role (DIRTY DANCING) AND the romantic ultra-faithful husband role (GHOST) for several generations of women….but guys and nerds loved him for his two goofy, over the top action films, the great Kathryn Bigelow’s wacky POINT BREAK and the deliriously so bad it’s good ROAD HOUSE.
