Patrick Swayze's Widow Says She'll Watch His Movies 'Every Once in a While' When She Misses Him

Lisa Niemi Swayze revealed to PEOPLE that she watches Patrick Swayze's movies "every once in a while" when she's missing her late husband. “He was a very, very special man in so many ways,” the ambassador for pancreatic cancer nonprofit PanCAN said.

Road House, which premiered in 1989 and recently spawned a remake starring Jake Gyllenhaal, followed Patrick's tough guy character Dalton as he takes on a role as a bouncer at a Missouri bar, and in doing so, helps protect the town from a corrupt businessman. “I still love Ghost and Point Break, and of course every time we turn MTV on, there's Patrick doing some moves in Dirty Dancing," she says. In fact, Lisa vividly recalls one dream in particular that came about when she was feeling really depressed in the wake of Patrick's death.
