Sorry to hear that. He was a great actor and just an all around great guy.
I have a lot of his movies on DVD, I'll have to watch a few in his honor.

Sad news. Even though almost every one of his movies falls into the "guilty pleasures" category, he was always likeable on screen.

Agreed.

So sad.
I was supposed to book an interview with him last month for The Beast DVD release but he had to pull out of press. I would suspect he began taking a turn for the worse weeks ago.

Well, he didn't dispute the National Enquirer's latest front page story, "Patrick Swayze going home to die!" - they apparently got it right, again!
I have quite a few of his movies. Weird, just yesterday I was looking at two of his movies on my shelf side-by-side, "Three Wishes" and "Ghost" - both movies in which in died in!
RIP Patrick - you put up a brave fight.

For some reason I keep thinking about the final scene from point break. Looks like I'll be watching that tonight...
RIP Mr. Swayze

Damn. He seemed like a really great guy. I was always a fan of his, although I oddly don't have any of his movies on DVD. Not even the great Point Break. I'm gonna have to borrow my mom's copy of Black Dog tomorrow.
