[tavalon]

37. I'm so sorry for his family's loss and I'm glad he's out of pain

He lived quite a long time with an awful form of cancer. It's the same one that took our beloved Andy Stephenson.

[present and past]

45. Patrick Swayze and Chris Farley ...

... are both gone now. They did a funny Saturday Night Live sketch together as the Chippendale dancers. I never figured out what the skit was satirizing, but it sure was / is funny.

[eShirl]

43. thank you Patrick for all the movies, your work will live on & be enjoyed

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000664/

[Stinky The Clown]

44. He was all business and very dedicated to his craft

If you're not familiar with it, investigate the background story of how hard he worked to get through his dance scenes in "Dirty Dancing". And that's what he was ...... a dancer who acted.

Thanks for all the fantastic memories your work never ceases to evoke.

[alcibiades_mystery]

46. How can we watch the SNL Swayze/Farley Chippendales sketch again?

Both gone too soon.

[DevonRex]

47. We can watch and celebrate and glory in their talent with much joy.

When the time for sadness is over.

[RayOfHope]

90. My friends in college in the '80s razzed me because I liked Dirty Dancing.

But what was there not to like about it?

Roadhouse was one of those good bad movies.

[KalicoKitty]

91. I loved Dirty Dancing!

Have watched it many times, and never get bored. He was such a fantastic dancer. And Jennifer Grey was so cute! Agree, I did not care for Roadhouse either.


R.I.P. Dear Patrick!

you fought the good fight.

100. :(

[Kajsa]

101. Thank you, Patrick for

all you have given us.

:(

My condolences to his wife and family.

[Rozlee]

102. Teddy and Patrick; it's too much, too soon

I am an agnostic, but today, I really am hoping that there is a higher power. Beautiful human beings like these simply can't pass into non-existance. It seems obscene to think that their charity and goodness hasn't flickered into life somewhere else.

[noiretextatique]

103. rip, patrick

dirty dancing and ghost are two of my favorite movies.

[vanboggie]

104. We also lost an Arabian horse lover

[PBass]

107. UN-recommended

I don't want to be insensitive - yes, it's a sad day when anyone dies - but isn't DU a POLITICAL website?

Is your sentimental fondness for "Dirty Dancing" and "Ghost" truly reason enough to put this on the "greatest" page? That's a pretty sad commentary on DU when there are so many important POLITICAL topics to discuss.

Maybe you should be posting at PeopleMagazine.com instead?

Also, let's not forget "RED DAWN", a horrible "red scare" movie.

[Thickasabrick]

109. Jesus Christ, the body isn't even cold yet. This is beyond tacky

and just so you know, he was a huge supporter of conservation efforts and believed man needed to live more in tune with mother nature.

[defendandprotect]

116. This is a place for information ... how could this be ignored?

EVERYTHING is political in the end --

and people who influence and effect our lives -- where the screen is too often used

for war messages and violence -- who have walked on this planet should be celebrated

even in death . . .

IF we have positive feelings about them!

[raystorm7]

118. You sir are a jackass and asshole in one. And I liked that movie regardless.

[off the rez]

120. I am sorry that you could not wait longer before trashing a person like Patrick...

And as for his movie choices, could it be that as an ACTOR, he was merely playing a part?

[tekisui]

121. DU is more than just a political site, pbASS.

[DeadEyeDyck]

108. He is a Ghost now

RIP

[wicket]

110. RIP

:cry:

[glinda]

111. This makes me pretty darned sad. He was amazing. A real gift.

[LaPera]

112. Patrick Swayze still gives me some great laughs in "Road House".

Unintentional humor at it's finest....A very funny movie, hilarious dialogue & situations, that was suppose to be a drama? I think....

Anyway, I put my Road House DVD on once a month and get great laughs...Thank you Patrick Swayze....I'm sure he would of agreed, Road House was an unintentionally funny, way over the top BOMB....and we certainly ALL make them at one time or another in different ways in our life time!

Cheers to Patrick Swayze and thanks for the memories!

[PSzymeczek]

124. To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything-

Julie Newmar

[GreenTea]

113. Peace.

[defendandprotect]

114. Sad news --

Two of his movies -- Dirty Dancing -- and one about transvestites are memorable . . .

but can't remember the name of the second! Love something?

[PSzymeczek]

125. See my reply at 124.

I replied to the wrong post :blush:

[defendandprotect]

128. Got it -- thank you !!!

:)

[off the rez]

119. He and his wife had this soul mate thing happening...

I pray that she is has strength...it has to be a wrenching loss for her:(

[kedrys]

122. RIP Patrick

Thanks for the fun times. Condolences to Lisa and the family.

[SlingBlade]

126. RIP Patrick
