I am trying to figure out why this upsets me .  Its hard to pinpoint.   It could be that I saw   "Dirty Dancing"   and "Ghost"  a million times(well maybe not a million......but at least a half dozen).   I guess I am not alone.    From what I can gather , most women who were either a teenager or a young adult during the 80's ,  had a "special fondness"  for those to movies.   Maybe "Dirty Dancing" , at least was such a "coming of age"  movie for women.     It gave us permission to "appreciate"  a very good looking guy in a rough,  yet sensative role.  

Okay...so maybe it is also the passing of an era........  that whole 80's early 90's time when it was cool to be a "Young Republican"  and appreciate firvilous movies at the theater.    That may be what I am missing....not to mention missing one of the sexist men of his time.
