Ghost / To Wong Foo... (tied for #1)
Red Dawn / Point Break (Tied)

Sure miss seeing him in movies :(

Exactly the same list as yours👍
My little sister loved Dirty Dancing and I had to see it 100 times growing up... it's really not a bad movie, sort of cute and entertaining really

In no order...

I loved The Outsiders equally, but I don't necessarily consider it a Patrick Swayze movie. His part was better than minimal, but still kind of small.

Yeah, those three. I agree.

Oh, forgot he was in the outsiders. That'd be honorable mention.

I came to appreciate PS a little late in the game. He seemed too hunky, always had this great 80s hair going on, broad chested and proud of it. After seeing things like Ghost and DD, I started to see how magnetic he was on screen, and he was proud of his Dancing ability. How many Hollywood actors of that era were really good, athletic dancers? Plus he could skate and acted in another Rat Pack type movie, the hockey film Youngblood with Robby Lowe. So I admire PS a lot more than I did back in the 80s. It really is a shame he had to leave us early.

It's nice to see all the Freakin' Dirty Dancin' Patrick Swayze love here. Sometimes I feel like he's been forgotten. He never did a brainless superhero movie so the younger generation has practically no use for him.

1. Red Dawn
2. Road House
3. Point Break
4.UNCOMMON VALOR
5. Steel Dawn

I know, I know that's more than three...

I'd argue that the best film to feature Patrick Swayze is Donnie Darko, and he's absolutely superb in that film, but it's not really a 'Patrick Swayze Film' and he's very much playing against type as an odious character, albeit one who utilizes Swayze's natural charisma in his public guise.

But in terms of the films I'd categorise as Patrick Swayze 'name above the title' ones, my favourites are:

1: Dirty Dancing (I unashamedly rate this film, especially because of the soundtrack, even though it always gets unfairly dismissed as a 'chick flick')
2: Roadhouse (funny how Swayze followed-up the 'ultimate chick flick', Dirty Dancing, with the 'ultimate macho b-movie' a couple of years later)
3: Ghost (another great film, although, despite being a mega-hit and the second highest grossing film of 1990, it's not quite as iconic as #1 and #2)

Patrick was a lot better actor then many give him credit for to be fair. Some really good work on his C.V but he's always remembered for Dirty Dancing but he has a few better films on his C.V then Dirty Dancing (some might disagree with that lol)

1. Point Break
2. Road House
3. Red Dawn
