- EXPECT watermelons aplenty as classic teen flick Dirty Dancing is screened at Southampton’s Harbour Lights this weekend.
The film – complete with ’60s setting, rock ’n’ roll soundtrack and interfering adults – is also distinguished by the seriousness with which it deals with sexuality from a young girl’s point of view.
College-bound ‘Baby’ (Jennifer Grey), on holiday with her parents at a lakeside retreat, meets the resort’s resident dancer (Swayze) and ends up taking his injured partner’s place in a show.
This involves being coached to professional standard in just a few days, leading to some sweetly intense scenes as the two fall in love and into bed.
Sensitive performances, a burning rock ’n’ roll soundtrack and steamy choreography abound.
See it at 1pm on Sunday.
- THE Disney animation inspired by Rudyard Kiplings Mowgli story is brought to the screen at Everyman Cinema in Winchester tomorrow.
Mowgli is a boy who has been raised by wolves in the Indian jungle. When the wolves hear that the fierce tiger, Shere Kahn, is nearby, they decide to send Mowgli to a local "man tribe".
On his way to the village, Mowgli meets many animal characters in this musical tale. When Shere Kahn learns of Mowgli's presence, he tracks him down.
See The Jungle Book as part of Kids Club at 10am.
