Romantic movie

My favorite romantic movie would probably be Dirty Dancing, a plot line that I am sure we are all very familiar with. Basically, a young girl from a well to do family goes to a summer resort with her family and falls in love with the dance instructor there. No one approves of their relationship but they fall in love anyway. This resulting in him getting fired from the resort. On the final night of their stay he comes back to get her though and puts on the end dance performance even though he isnt supposed to. This is my favorite part, and probably favorite line of all time, "no one puts baby in a corner." I think that I like this scene so much because it is very corny. But also, the dancing actually is really good and throughout the whole movie I just sat there wondering if they were going to be able to work it out. Finding out that they were was the exact ending that I was wanting.

I didn't realize that Dirty Dancing also had characters that were from different class backgrouds. Until we talked about it in class I didnt notice how strong and common of a theme it was in romantic movies. I don't agree that I love the ending to this movie. I am a fan of realistic endings and I just don't think this one is. If I really did fall in love over a summer I wouldnt just be able to leave him at the end. It just seemed like they were both ok with going back to their seperate lives. In reality that would probably be one of the hardest things I would have to do, leave my "first love".
