You’ll have “the time of your life” at this romantic crowd-pleaser, set at a summer resort in 1963. Jennifer Grey (Ferris Bueller’s sister) plays Baby, a rich girl attracted to a working-class dance instructor (Patrick Swayze). Tough guy Swayze’s experience with the Joffrey Ballet (who knew?) prepared him for the role. We dare you to sit still during the film’s big finish.(“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.”)
