Dirty Dancing

“Dirty Dancing—what a great title!—is such a bubbleheaded, retro vision of growing up in the sixties (or any other time) that you go out of the theatre giggling happily.” – Pauline Kael, The New Yorker

Dance movies were never the same after the world witnessed Baby and Johnny’s electrifying “dirty” dancing back in 1987. A love story for the ages about a young woman who falls in love with her dance instructor, Dirty Dancing was a box office sensation no doubt in part to its elaborate choreography, catchy tunes (“(I’ve Had) The Time of My Life” won the Oscar for Best Original Song), and – let’s not kid ourselves – a shirtless Patrick Swayze. Its fluffy exterior belies a poignant tale about women’s rights so it’s no surprise that the empowering film is a hit with female audiences of all ages. So grab your maracas and get out of that corner because now’s the time for some dirty dancing.

After Hours is the best films you never saw on the big screen (or maybe you did) from late-night cult classics to foreign favorites and even summer blockbusters on weekends. Please note that unclaimed pre-ordered tickets will be sold to the rush line 30 mins after showtime.
