Footloose VS. Dirty Dancing

This is an essay idea I've been mulling over for awhile now, so I thought I'd post and get soem feedback.  The general topic is both cheesy and twee, so I figured I'd write it with the southern gothic flare--whose car is faster, which unsavory female character is more delicious, and so on--to establish a nice counterpoint.  Here's my intro so far:

I'm not saying I've seen Japanese robots that can dance better than Julia Styles in "Save the Last Dance," but I'd bet my life they can.  Yeah, I saw the movie though.  If you haven't, go ahead and feel superior.  Speaking of dancing and superiority, there's a burning question...of the two 80s movies where a young rebellious protagonist fights a stifling conservative authority using nothing but dance moves, which was better, "Footloose" or "Dirty Dancing"?  

some points I'd like to explore:

Swayze singing on the soundtrack...so gay it's gangster?

Bacon dancing around the barn...forerunner of parkour?

Betting female sidekick to sexually asphyxiate...pregnant slut in DD or young sarah jessica parker in FL?

FL bulldozer chicken fight scene.  Rad?  or undermined by the fact that Bacon got his shoelace caught and did a gay ass victory dance?

Anyway, I'm looking for more meat to flesh it out before I actually write it up, so please add comments .
