1.) David Byrne's "Knock-knee Dance" in "Stop Making Sense"

2.) Dan Aykroyd leading a fleet of hookers and pimps in some funky dance steps to the sounds of James Brown in "Doctor Detroit"

3.) Melanie Griffith's first strip scene in "Fear City" (counteracted with the murder of Ola Ray's character...Hey, you wanted unique)

4.) The Chipmunks And The Chipettes dancing in the ruins in "The Chipmunk Adventure"

5.) John Laroquette moonwalking at gunpoint in "Blind Date"

Sincerely,

John Edward Kilduff...the Rock Steady Flamethrower

I guess I like my dance scene's funny...

A classic!:

1) Pee Wee Herman on the bar in Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Tequilla!!!

The first of a tired series' only great running gag:

2) The Blue Oyster Bar scene in Police Academy. Hilarious. I laugh every time.

There are no small roles:

3) The prom in Just One of the Guys. Why this one you might ask? The two resident space aliens dancing together. Those characters were so random and meaningless to the plot that it's brilliant, and damn funny.

Another prom:

4) Ricky clearing the gymnasium dance floor in Better Off Dead. That's funny enough as it is, but his collapse on the floor is a riot. That and Charles' hysterical laughing, great stuff.

Hey guys, wonder joints:

5) Revenge of the Nerds. The dance scene at the Lamda house, once the party gets started. Thriller! Lamar with the balloon on his head. Booger taking on two Mu's at once. U.N. Jefferson getting loose. Funny stuff.

In the first part of the movie "Breakin", they are all at the beach, standing around a small dance area. If you look closely, one of the guys in the background clapping his hands is Jean Claude Van Damme.

I like the dance scene in Breakin 2 where Turbo dances around his room including the ceiling.

I also the like dance scene in Breakfast club where all of the cast is dancing around the library.

The Ronald Miller Dance in Can't Buy Me Love

The scene in Mannequin when they are dancing in the mall to "Do you Dream about me"

Bachelor Party doing the alligator

The dance scene in The Breakfast Club, Molly Ringwalds dance was my favorite. [Wink]

Tom Cruise dancing to Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock And Roll" is a classic! I can't tell you how many times that has played over and over again on shows like Entertainment Tonight, Extra!, Access Hollywood, or any TV show that mentions "Risky Business".

And I'm suprised none of the previous posts mentioned "The Blues Brothers" yet! There are several good ones: (1.) The gospel scene where Joliet Jake (John Belushi) does several back flips, even though I'm sure it's really a stuntman doubling for Belushi; (2.) The street scene in inner-city Chicago.

From Valley Girl:

Love the preppy guy in the double polo with collar up, madras shorts, and boat shoes dancing to "I am the fanatic" at the party...cracks me up everytime. Everyone in my school had that same look. Haircut and all. [Smile]

Tuff Turf, when James Spader is trying to talk to that girl and not letting her go from the dance

Howard the Duck, at the end when Howard is dancing (a dancing duck, now that's unique!)

From "THE OUTSIDERS":

When Ponyboy starts breakdancing in the nude for no reason in the hospital in front of Johnny.
