Tribute to Patrick Swayze
by Chris Padgett on Sep.17, 2009, under Favorite Movie

We got some sad news earlier this week; when we found out that actor Patrick Swayze had lost his fight to pancreatic cancer. He was one of the greats in Hollywood and Patrick Swayze has a long list of very good movies. I’m sure his fans took the news hard this week that he would no longer be with us and that we would not ever see any new Patrick Swayze movies.
I really hope a TV network will do a marathon soon to remember the talented actor, that starred in so many great movies. You could ask any group of people what his best movie was and you would get a variety of different answers. There isn’t just 1 movie that everyone could agree on as his best and this is because he played in so many good Hollywood movies. I would like to take a poll and see what my readers see as his best movie ever.
What Is Your Favorite Patrick Swayze Movie?
A. Dirty Dancing
B. Ghost
C. Road House
D. Red Dawn
E. The Outsiders
I think most would consider one of these as his best movies. Next of Kin and Tall Adventures were two more good Patrick Swayze movies; along with Grandview USA. The last movie Patrick Swayze was in was Powder Blue. The 2009 movie Powder Blue was full of big stars like Kris Kristofferson, Ray Liotta, Jessica Biel, Lisa Kudrow, and Forrest Whitaker.

Who will ever forget this scene from the movie Ghost where Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore made pottery together. The song Unchained Melody played in the background of this famous Patrick Swayze movie scene.

And no one will forget the famous Patrick Swayze movie line “nobody puts Baby in the corner” from the movie Dirty Dancing. There were just so many great movies that featured this talented actor and he will be remembered for a long time. He was taken away from us much too soon at the age of 57, but his work through movie films will long live on.
