Dirty Dancing & Valentine’s Day… A Card
Today’s Valentine Post features a phrase and a scene from the massive box office hit from the 80’s.
Valentine’s Day and this legendary hit go together like… well… they just go together!
How popular was the movie Dirty Dancing?
It was one of the highest-grossing films of 1987, earning $170 million worldwide. The film's popularity continued to grow after its initial release. It was the number one video rental of 1988 and became the first film to sell a million copies on video.
From its release in 1987 to 2024, the movie "Dirty Dancing" grossed over $214 million worldwide.
Soundtrack: The soundtrack was also a major success, with the album spending 18 weeks at No. 1.
It’s safe to say this pivotal 80’s film took the country by storm… and left a little Johnny Castle & Frances "Baby" Houseman lingering in all of our hearts.
So whether “kids were doing it in the basements back home” or not the storyline brought with it a cultural revolution to the era, a lesson in the importance of embracing our unique voices and values, and one of the most popular love stories of all time…
While the most famous line of the movie tends to be “Nobody puts Baby in a corner”, it’s also highly possible that it may have been “I’ve had the time of my life… and I owe it all to you”

“Just Remember”
Maybe you have a romantic dinner and a dance floor waiting for you this Valentine’s Evening… or maybe you don’t, and if not grab your popcorn and M&M’s - load up Netflix or perhaps you have your own copy of the movie ( I most certainly do! ) and indulge with this timeless classic…
I’ve had the time of my life…
