Patrick Swayze Top Ten

1) Dirty Dancing (1987) - perfect for this kind of role

2) Ghost (1990) - again, great to counter balance a female star

3) Red Dawn (1984) - from his sensible elder brother period

4) The Outsiders (1983) - see above

5) Roadhouse (1989) - JG can't compete

6) Point Break (1991) - masterpiece - his career went into freefall after this

7)  North and South (1985) - forgotten now but a big deal in its day

8) Donnie Darko (2001) - a rare decent credit post 1991

9) Blood Brother episode of MASH (1981) - great ep, good credit

10) Skatetown USA (1979) - put in for fun 

It's so weird how his luck turned so much after he became a star. The booze, I assume. Chasing the money. Hollywood not believing him. He should've made musicals.
