in remembrance of dalton


recently i posted about starting top 10 list posts, and in keeping in that same spirit of the necessity to have to put everything in top 10 lists, i am going to do my list today on patrick swayze movies. in remembrance of a mediocre actor who never forgot where he came from, and never backed down to a good smoke (even after being diagnosed with cancer), what a trooper i will try to put down for my readers (all 5) my top faves. now with this tribute being for patrick and in remembrance of his legacy, i hate to admit it but, i never really liked him, so i couldn't come up with a complete top ten list of his movies, so i will do my best to make as complete a list as i can of the movies i have seen with him (no i haven't seen dirty dancing, and currently have no plans on seeing it). so without further ado here is my list of movies with patrick swayze that i have seen and would recommend:

1. point break - by far his best

2. red dawn - the next in line behind point break in goodness

3. the outsiders - he's the big brother we all wished we had if our parents died while being a teenager

4. skatetown u.s.a - most people probably haven't seen this gem, but worth the watch

5. roadhouse - although i believe he was nominated for a razzie, it is worth the watch (at least once)

6. black dog - mainly because of randy travis & meatloaf, but pat's not so bad in it

7. his appearance as guest host of snl back in 1990 - yes i do know that the only skit anyone remembers from this is the one with him & chris farley as chippendales (classic)


for the true fans out there reading this post, i am sorry, but this is where the list ends for me. now a moment of silence for this master actor (smoke em if you got em). till next time (unless your patrick).

  1. really... outsiders number 3? come on jodes. i think you forgot all about ghost. everyone's all time favorite, although not for me. i must admit that number 4 & 6 i am unaware of.

  2. outsiders would be 2, but i am looking at it from only the patrick swayze standpoint, that is from his acting chops, and the movies as a whole.
