behind this edition!) Yes, it comes packaged in a slipcase and includes both a digital copy and DVD, and there are even a few new extras (see below). This new release celebrates the movie's 30th anniversary and the special features shamelessly hype a 2017 TV movie remake and updated stage show. Well, here we are in 2017, and it's time to milk the 'Dirty Dancing' cash cow once again.

Hey, don't get me wrong: 'Dirty Dancing' is a fine film and I enjoy it very much every time I see it. That should have been enough, right?

Lionsgate complied three years later with a Limited Keepsake Edition that included color scene stills and a 48-page commemorative hardback book. The transfer was subpar, so fans clamored for a redo. The premier edition coincided with the film's 20th anniversary in 2007. Over the past decade, 'Dirty Dancing' has been released a whopping FOUR TIMES on Blu-ray.
