My favorite movie is DIRTY DANCING(1987)

The film, which focuses on the early 1960s, highlights the differences between the
working class and the American average, the beginning of the breakdown of "social
norms" and the awakening of sexual freedom sponsored by music. Warmer and
more inspiring What is fair, what causes him various difficulties, embodies the
American innocence of the moment, an innocence that ends when he discovers that
he is not always proud of being fair.
Johnny Castle is an expert dance teacher and an accomplished lover. Baby
Houseman is an idealistic and innocent teenager. Both coincide in a hotel in the
Catskill mountains during the summer holidays: she as a guest, he as a teacher and
dancer in the center. When the young woman sees the dancer, she is captivated by
him despite the social differences between the two and a complicit atmosphere is
formed between the two. When a committed situation takes her away from her father,
Baby and Johnny begin a journey together in which she discovers sex and he loves
love and trust.
