Dirty Dancing, Ghostbusters, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Top Gun, The Breakfast Club... Many popular films made in the 1980s are dismissed as cheesy - and lacking in artistic merit.

But Hadley Freeman credits such films for teaching her 鈥渕ore about life than any library or teacher ever would鈥�.

Dirty Dancing is about much more than 鈥淧atrick Swayze writhing around鈥�, says the Guardian columnist and author of Life Moves Pretty Fast.

鈥淚t鈥檚 about feminism, the importance of having legality of abortion and it鈥檚 about female sexuality,鈥� she says.
