Best 80's movie ever! Matchup 30

[Ginormous76]

Ok, so I've been convinced to post the rest of the bracket. Begin your voting. Oh, and I may or may not declare UHF the winner over ET due to vote fixing.

Matchup 30 features Patrick Swayze single-handedly taking on a handful of other 80's stars.

Dirty Dancing vs. Wall Street

[MAX.]

Hmm... Tough!

Wall Street had the better story
Dirty Dancing had me with hot people dancing.

[IMP]

you know there is a new movie going into production soon. wall street sequel.

[Snagus]

Don't remember any babes from Wall Street. And the way they cleared the ballroom of those chairs and tables so quickly in the ending dance scene. Outstanding!

[ADoubleDot]

Nobody puts A.. in a corner!

[FormLetter]

Greed is good.

[FormLetter]

Lunch is for wimps.

[JollyGoodFCAS]

Pretty cool seeing James Spader as a young lawyer.

[Darkness Falls]

A top 50 all time movie vs. a chick flic. Tough....

[Maine-iac]

Tough call, since they are so disparate in mood as to be really incomparable with each other. But I think Dirty Dancing gets the nod. Despite a whisper thin excuse for a script, the dancing was phenomenal, the acting was above the norm for that sort of film (Jerry Orbach stands out in my mind), and Patrick Swazye was mesmerizing. Wall Street has a lot going for it, in a totally different vein, and is a much more serious movie, but it slides too often toward pretension and cliche.

DD far exceeds expectations in a lesser genre, WS is just a bit shy of excellence in a greater genre.

[Keep It Real, Yo]

I've never seen Wall Street... but I wanted to take this opportunity to put baby in a corner

[Traina]

ooh why are these in the same category! wall street should have been up against rain man or something.
