Dirty Dancing
Dirty dancing walked so highschool musical could run (it's also really cool because Kenny Ortega choreographed for both those films).
(watched this on the first day of my period and sobbed over baby's relationship with her dad I felt like Jess from new girl)
I think Emile Ardolino would've loved Damien chazelle. While the film came out in the 70s the themes are still applicable today; love, self discovery and challenging societal norms. The dances are means through which the characters express their desires and struggles. They also create a new means through which characters can understand eachother making it easier to communicate without words. This movie is amazing and Patrick swayze is the finest man to have ever lived. Also it was really fun seeing Emily from Gilmore girls here.
