Best Dance Scenes

>The “Candy Colored Clown” scene from Blue Velvet. This probably doesn’t really count as a “dance scene,” since the chick on the top of the car is not the main element, but she’s got some awesome moves! I’ve been trying to imitate them all week.

>The Tom Cruise dance during the credits of Tropic Thunder. It’s even funnier because you know crazy ass Tom Cruise had to have taken it totally seriously while filming too.

>The Pulp Fiction dance. A classic. BTW, I think John Travolta is crazy too. Hrmm…

>The group dance from Boogie Nights! This is only on this list because Boogie Nights is the greatest movie ever. And because I can’t listen to “Machine Gun” without thinking of it. [No, not the Jimi Hendrix “Machine Gun.” The Commodores’ “Machine Gun.”] And because Marky Mark is in it. And John C. Reilly is skinny. And Roller Girl is roller skating.

>The Napoleon Dynamite Jamiroquai dance. If you’re of a certain age range you probably know exactly what I’m talking about.

I realize this list is somewhat scarce, and I welcome your additions. I really just wanted to talk about the dancing lady from Blue Velvet because I saw that movie for the first time last week and her moves were so SWEET.

>OMG! I can’t believe I forgot “Dance Magic Dance” from the Labyrinth. What could be better than David Bowie, tights for pants, and Muppets? Thanks to Rob for pointing out my folly.
