Favorite Movie

1) What are your five favorite movies that you have seen on dvd? (not recently in a movie theater)
my five favortie movies are:Dirty Dancing Havana Nights, Gracie, Blades of Glory, One Night with the King and Blood Diamond.

Dirty Dancing Havana Nights is about Katey Miller who is an 18-year-old girl who is about to have the time of her life, even if she doesn't know it. When her father Bert Miller is transferred to Havana in 1958, just before Katey's senior year in high school, the whole family relocates to the exotic locale, moving into a luxurious hotel filled with Americans as Cuba teeters on the brink of revolution. Bookish Katey is mesmerized by the raw intensity of the dancing she sees in a public square one afternoon--and by Javier, a Cuban pool boy that works at her hotel. Soon, Katey and Javier are heating up the dance floor, combining his Latin moves with her formal ballroom training. With some inspiration from the hotel dance instructor, played by none other than the original dirty dancer Patrick Swayze, Katey enters a Latin ballroom dance competition. Based on co-producer and choreographer JoAnn Jansen's own experiences as an American teenager in Cuba, DIRTY DANCING: HAVANA NIGHTS comes to the screen 17 years after the original DIRTY DANCING debuted. This coming-of-age film also features Sela Ward as Katey's mother.

Gracie is about GRACIE is loosely based on Shue’s life in suburban New Jersey, and stars Carly Schroeder as Gracie Bowen, a woman with a passion for soccer. But Gracie is overlooked by her domineering father (Dermot Mulroney), a former soccer star who feverishly coaches her three brothers, mostly focusing on the oldest sibling, Johnny .Johnny is the captain of Columbia High’s soccer team and Gracie’s biggest supporter and mentor, but his superstardom is tragically ended when he dies in a car accident. Since her high school does not have a girls' soccer team, Gracie decides to honor her brother’s legacy by trying out for the boys' team, hoping to take her brother’s place. Appalled by her outlandish suggestion, her family does not support her dream, and as a result she becomes reckless and defiant, hanging with the wrong crowd and neglecting her studies. Gracie’s father recognizes what they need to do to get her back on track, so he coaches her full-time while also appealing to the school board to let her try out for the boys' team. Unfortunately the stakes are high for Gracie to prove herself to her potential coach and teammates, who pummel her with endless ridicule and harassment. GRACIE is not only an inspirational movie for female athletes of all ages, but also an endearing family film. The movie is dedicated to the memory of Will Shue--the late brother of Elisabeth and Andrew Shue, who both produce and appear in the film.
