This is hands down the toughest poll ever. How can I possibly choose? Pulp Fiction is amazing.
More than a Woman is one of my favorites songs of all time and my favorite on SNF. She’s a Maniac and Let’s Hear it for the boy – have both on my mp3 player and the scenes themselves are awesome.
Dirty Dancing- awwww LOVE it. I danced that song in my dancing class, it was incredible. I have watched Grease more times than I can count.
But if I were pressed to choose I would go with Singing in the Rain – my favorite musical, one of my favorite movies, and one I have watched a million times.
Singing in the Rain it is! Gene Kelly owns my soul.
Oh, the Grease song, for sure!! I have to watch that again.
Umm umm umm…yeah I don’t know what to go with!!!!!! Pulp Fiction is up there, so is Grease…Napoleon Dynamite just kills me every time! Breakin’ is classic, Kickboxer owns my soul *bowsdown to le Muscles from Brussels*…I absolutely LOVE “El Tango de Roxanne” from Moulin Rouge…
I gotta go classic too–I’m taking West Side Story, America. (or the opening scene, you know with the snapping…or the rumble scene!) I love how sassy this song is
**OH and I should have included this because it makes me laugh :p
I’ll Tumble For Ya
Back to school
do you have anymore gum?
I heart Billy Madison.
Oh wow! This is a tough choice! I think I’m going to have to go with the Dirty Dancing one though.
Even though my hands down favorite random dance scene is from Love Actually.

Love Actually! Yes.
Thea, we forgot Shaun of the Dead and the Queen song!!! *dies*
There is also About a Boy. : )
Singing In The Rain! I love that movie, and Jean Kelly is an amazing dancer
Oh NOES!! You missed one of my favorite scenes of all time, not just dancing/musical scene, but favorite scene EVAH:
A Knight’s Tale, at the banquet, where they start dancing and you realize that the song has seamlessly morphed into Bowie’s Golden Years. ZOMG! I cannot watch that scene enough– It’s MAGIC!

But if I have to choose from the list above, it would be Singing in the Rain… or Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious… or well, hell, I can’t choose.
Well done!
I’m with Ana–this is an almost impossible task! However I spent most of two summers ago watching Napoleon Dynamite over and over again, no thanks to HBO. So my vote’s for him.
I’ve tried and tried but I can’t get any of them to play!!!!
Too many good ones to choose from
My faves would be Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, and Moulin Rouge. I also really like this scene from Take the Lead.
This really IS a hard one! And why didn’t I visit yall over my tired, tired weekend. This would’ve made me laugh.
But srsly, I have to pull for both Breakin’ and Napoleon Dynamite. Breakin’ cuz it’s just SO bad it’s good and from my growin’ up years. I couldn’t stop watching if it was on. No shame, no shame – it was the eighties, we didn’t know what we were doing. Shame wasn’t born till the 90′s.
And Napoleon’s dance – pure awesomeness. And I feel bad for Heder. He hasn’t had a smash hit like ND since.
I hands down agree though that the scene with the Grant in Love Actually is my all-time fave and would be numero uno with me if it had been a choice. LMAO every single time!
Can I cast a write-in vote? If so, I’m going with “I’ll Never Tell” from the Buffy musical episode, “Once More with Feeling.”

Rob, in fact we could probably add all scenes from that episode, one of the best episodes of Buffy (or any other tv show) ever.
Actually, Thea, we should do a poll with best Buffy episodes! *hyper*
