Classic Films
Hollywood has entertained us with films that have had us singing, tapping our feet and even signing up for ballroom dance lessons. A couple of the all time favorites are " Dirty Dancing" (1987) with Patrick Swayze & Jennifer Grey, the Japanese film "Shall We Dansu (1996) and "Shall We Dance" (2004) with Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez. We've tried to compile a list that might have you checking a few of them out for the first time or in other cases enjoying them for a time that is too numerous to count. The obvious places to track them down are on line, the local video store, even your library. Enjoy....
