Nobody Puts Blu-Ray In A Corner: New Dirty Dancing Limited Edition Coming This MayAuthor: David Wharton

Nineteen eighty-seven was a simpler time. A time when Patrick Swayze was still proudly rocking the mullet, but had not yet achieved the apex of his power (that'd be Road House). Jennifer Grey still had her old nose. Along came a little film called Dirty Dancing, and America learned that while some people might be inclined to try putting Baby in a corner, any attempts to do so would ultimately fail.
Just in time for Mother's Day, Lionsgate is returning to the well and releasing another Blu-ray and two-disc DVD edition of Dirty Dancing. Lionsgate is bringing the full Swayze May 4th with the Limited Edition Keepsake Edition, and they certainly aren't scrimping on extras. The set includes all the extras from previous releases, plus almost a dozen new featurettes and the inevitable Patrick Swayze tributes. The flick has also been remastered, because clearly Dirty Dancing is a movie that demands a pristine presentation. Both the Blu-ray and DVD versions will come with a 52-page hardcover commemorative book, plus a coupon for fifty bucks off a stay at "the real Kellerman's Resort (Mountain Lake Hotel in Virginia)." Never having sat through DD, I have no idea what that means, but coupons are always nice. The Blu-ray version also comes with a digital-copy disc. Blu-ray will run you $34.99, and the two-disc DVD $29.98. Dirty Dancing: Limited Keepsake Edition
