Sure he did it in other movies as well, but then that's why SNF was ground-breaking - it was the first.

You are absolutely right! At it's time it was ground-breaking... Posts: 2729 | From: Kansas City, MO "At the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance" | Registered: Apr 2007 | Site Updates: 9

And it has the honor of being Gene Siskel's all time favorite film; before he died he bought Travolta's suit.

Look Who's Talking is near and dear to me as i watched it a thousand times around age 5. Maybe I'm just not a disco fan.

I was going to be a smartass and say that my favorite 80s dance movie was "The Turning Point" (Shirley MacLaine, Anne Bancroft, Mikhail Baryshnikov) - but then I looked it up on IMDB and saw that it was from 1977! So close...

Well, if you want to include ballet as dancing for an 80's movie, try "Nijinsky" (1980). It's about the real-life story of the Russian ballet dancer Nijinsky and his mentor (and lover) Diaghilev.
