random movie trivia

Thanks to ALOTT5MA (check out the link to the right), I learned today that Dirty Dancing and The Princess Bride were released the same year (1987). They were also both nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song, Dirty Dancing for "(I've Had) The Time of My Life" and The Princess Bride for "Storybook Love." Dirty Dancing won the Oscar.

Incidentally, Mannequin was also nominated for Best Original Song that year for "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now." Okay, so it's no Dirty Dancing or The Princess Bride, but I'll confess to it being a guilty pleasure movie for me.

1987 was a good year. I was 5.
