None of his other movies stand up to Ghost, IMO. Uncommon Valor running close second.

It is good he isn't suffering anymore. He fought with integrity.
Ghost.
For all those who have lost close friends and family to cancer, Patrick's death hurts down deep, way deep. May God keep his family, uphold them in hope, and ease the pain.
Swayze was awesome in the movies previously mentioned but one of my very favorite movies with him is not really well known. He played Pecos Bill in the movie "Tall Tale" and it was a role perfect for him. I also liked him in "King Solomon's Mines", where he played Alan Quartermaine.
But those were just roles he played, while in real life ... he was just as great a guy. About 16 years ago, I started volunteering with a therapeutic riding program - hippotherapy for kids with different kinds of issues. The director of the program was and is active in Arabian horse shows, etc. She took a bunch of the kids to an Arabian show that Swayze was competing in. He talked to the kids, took pictures with them and autographed a poster of himself and his stallion Tammen. They couldn't stop talking about how nice he was. It was probably a simple/little thing for him but it was an incredible experience for the kids.
RIP
