I was watching Once Bitten and loved love loved.....the dance off between the Countess and Robin to "Hands Off"
You know 80's movies are filled with great dance sequences in movies you wouldn't expect a dance sequence???
So what are some of your favorite randoms?.....out of place?......goofball? cheesy songs??
I STILL have "hands off......he belongs to me" in my head lol

Fire with Fire The 16 Candles "New Faces" school dance was classic!
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
I'm going to go with:
Ronnie Miller's African Anteater Ritual in "Can't Buy Me Love"
Eddie Keaton's Breakdancing in "Making the Grade"
Morgan and Frankie warehouse dance in "Tuff Turf"

"When Ted Met Elaine" from Airplane; the dancing actually does come off quite well despite the sheer lunacy of the situation.

Send Me an Angel from Rad, for the win!
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
goresnet.. I agree that the bike stunts to "Send Me Angel" were quite awesome.
The crazy dance scene to "Music That You Can Dance To" by Sparks needs to mentioned as well.

Can't get the bar-top dancer at Torchy's from Streets Of Fire out of my mind now......

Keanu Reaves awkwardly grooving to George Clinton in the Night Before.

Also at the end of THE GREAT OUTDOORS, Dan Akroyd is awesome!

I remember a scene with Jon Cryer in "Morgan Stewart's Coming Home", where he discovers he has fallen in love and prances around his home!
And how can you not mention Tom Cruise strutting to Bob Seger in "Risky Business"?

I always thought of as more convulsing than dancing Posted by Secret Admirer (Member # 3574) on :
How about the song and dance to "Get Dead" in The Midnight Hour? Love it.
Posted by P a u l (Member # 1022) on :
Almost forgot the bit where Bruce Willis makes John Laroquette do the moonwalk and stuff in Blind Date.....
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Not necessarily a fav, but quite memorable:
Corey Feldman's MJ dance routine in "Dream A Little Dream"
Posted by Veronica Sawyer (Member # 2221) on :
Tiffany Helm's "robot" dance in Friday the 13th Part 5 - A New Beginning!
Two from Tim Burton: Day Oh Beetlejuice (funny first time around) and The Joker doing the Tango with Vicki Vale on the Bellfry.

I'm loving the rarities guys! makes me want to watch some movies I haven't seen in awhile........is it funny or what that newer movies don't go into that many random dances as our 80's ones? Posted by Ronnie (Member # 465) on :

There's nothing random about today's movies - doesn't everyone join in whenever the clock gets to seventeen minutes and twelve seconds since the last musical montage? I thought that was compulsory these days......

Posted by oneyedwilly (Member # 8730) on :
however, i did enjoy the ltttle montage dance bit from mannequin. Did anyone else?
Posted by logan5 (Member # 1467) on :
Mannequin was chock full of classic montages!
Posted by Bamersy (Member # 8808) on :
I keep thinking about the montage in The Sweetest Thing-not an 80's movie though........
Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Did I miss it? Where are all the fans of "Top Secret"?
Back to the original posting. Muffy.. the school dance with "Hands Off" was my fav part of "Once Bitten".
"I'm not wearing a costume!"
Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
I know! haha
"Great vampire costume Mark" "and best costume goes to Mark as a vampire"
Posted by oneyedwilly (Member # 8730) on :
what about the little dance that the guys do in The 3 Amigos. Thats hilarious.
Posted by DangerousThunder (Member # 9016) on :
Hi, I'm new here, but I thought of a funny random dance. How about Crispin Glover in Friday The 13th: The Final Chapter?
Hahaha, that was a good link, DangerousThunder. Welcome to the rewind! Posted by Muffy Tepperman (Member # 1551) on :
I had to stop in the middle of watching Iron Eagle to point out when Lou Gossett jr. kicks the jukebox and starts grooving to James Brown and shakes his butt back and forth totally funny makes you just love his character!
Posted by Shannon80sfan (Member # 8491) on :
Don't forget about this one from Doctor Detroit. James Brown and all!
Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :
I can't believe no one mentioned the dance scene in Breakfast Club!!! I still get a chill when I see Molly dancing & spinning up on that little balcony in the library with her preppy Ralph Lauren looking outfit and knee high leather boots! It's perfect!

Devolution here,
To quote a great movie...
"Not everybody can cha cha cha, not everybody can do the twist, but everybody can do the ska it's the new dance you can't resist."

I'm gonna have to second this one as being one of the best ...still makes me laugh whenever I watch it
Posted by Secret Admirer (Member # 3574) on :
Yeah, but that is a dance movie and this thread is about non-dance movies. Disqualified! Thanks for playing. Better luck next time
(But oh god I love Back to the Beach! Soooo good!)
Posted by Devolution (Member # 1731) on :
Devolution here,
Back to the beach is not a dance movie. Songs sung by the cast make it possibly a surf movie that's about it.

Posted by Valley (Member # 1322) on :
Devo.. I think Secret Admirer was disqualifying "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" as a dance with death movie. So you are safe to going back to the beach to play with Lori Loughlin.
