Patrick Swayze died today after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 57.

A career retrospective is hardly needed: If you were a teenage girl in the 1980s, you probably loved Patrick Swayze, thanks to Dirty Dancing. If you were a meathead dude with a fondness for late night TNT in the 90s, you probably loved Patrick Swayze for Road House. In between were his successes Point Break and Ghost, in addition to a ton of other memorable movies littered throughout the last three decades, including The Outsiders, Red Dawn and To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar.

He’s made a lot of bad movies, too, but somehow, most of those only endeared him to us.

Rest in peace, Bodhi.
