You know, I am so not surprised. About anything.
Anyway, Dan has now seen both and believed. His most common line all evening -- "Wow."

Every time I think I have to decide it's "Showgirls", I remember that the climactic scene in "Roadhouse" involves the unnecessary revelation that the bad guy is a big game hunter whose only missing trophy is taut male dancer/bouncer ass and the resultant giggling leaves me undecided.

This movie was made and released between Dirty Dancing and Ghost and yet is somehow more true to that which is Swayze in the end. As it were.

"Roadhouse" vs "Dirty Dancing"
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link
(...vs. "Ghost")
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
IT'S A SWAYZ-OFF
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:22 (sixteen years ago) link
Dirty Dancing wins because it was years before I figured out that anyone in it was Jewish. I mean, huh? This is what happens when you grow up in Whitehall. But the point is that when I realized it was rly about religion & class it suddenly seemed so much DEEPR, MAN. Therefore win.
― Laurel, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link
"Dirty Dancing" would win if Jennifer Grey tore out someone's throat at a pivotal moment.

These are the bullet items under "Subjects" in the NY Public Library online catalog for the Road House DVD:
Bouncers -- Drama. Bars (Drinking establishments) -- Drama. Crime -- Drama. Male friendship -- Drama. Man-woman relationships -- Drama. Feature films. Video recordings for the hearing impaired.
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 9 October 2007 17:28 (sixteen years ago) link
The best part is when you click on "Bouncers -- Drama," RH is the only title that comes up.

lolololol

"Cocktail" beats both movies.

it's really sad that films like these can't get made nowadays.

I'm addicted to Roadhouse. I've watched it about once a week for the last month.
Also, Michelob is better than a lot of overpriced, overhoppy bullshit microbrew stuff (the brown bottle regular michelob not MGD)
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 March 2008 20:36 (sixteen years ago) link
ugh no
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 20:38 (sixteen years ago) link
roadhouse or michelob??? they are both great!!!!
― M@tt He1ges0n, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:46 (sixteen years ago) link
Roadhouse is awesome! Michelob... is not.
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:52 (sixteen years ago) link
BULLROAR DAN!!! okay....I've converted many to the Michelob...when --- BE HONEST --- was the last time you had some brown bottle michelob????

1994. It was cheap and I wanted beer. I later decided that, for the price point, Meister Brau has better flavor per cent.
― HI DERE, Monday, 24 March 2008 22:57 (sixteen years ago) link
(Then again I really genuinely like overly-hoppy microbrews, usually the hoppier the better.)
