It's true dedication that Gene Kelly performed that famous rain dance when he was sick with a temperature. More proof that he was one of the best dancers of his generation.

@@KrittersCorner56 I'm surprised at the top choice. Not that it's a bad dance number...just surprised (I guess because it's not from a noteworthy film, such as West Side Story or Grease), especially as MsMojo seems to love Singin in the Rain in her other lists.

I think the dance scenes from Last Night In Soho are incredibly underrated. The editing and the practical effects letting characters weave in and out of their respective time periods is one of the most striking visuals I've ever seen. If there's a top 100 list made, it at least has to crack that.

Not going to argue, you put together a great list. (That LaLa Land opener really does make you homesick for the LA in your heart and besides Rita's purple dress, don't forget George Chakiris danced as Riff (London stage) and Bernardo (Best Supporting Actor, movie). One teensy comment tho', it would have been nice to show Fred Astaire dancing with -- mop, hat rack, golf club, rain coat, etc. -- in response to the crack, "Who do you think you are, Fred Astaire?!" After years of being a gentleman, didn't Fred say he had the most fun dancing with Rita Hayworth? A great dancer in her own right.

Thank you for the update, MsMojo..!! Goldwyn Follies (1938) also had good dance scenes. One of them was Vera Zorina in Balanchine's (Undine) Water Nymph Ballet. The actress was born in Germany, so in 1940, Fantasia did a parody of the first scene by using Hyacinth.

8:27 for anyone interested: the real-life band Gaelic Storm are in this scene and playing their hearts out. They are just as awesome IRL and in their albums as Titanic suggests. Whenever they played at the Dublin Irish Festival (er, Dublin OH), they always got most of the crowd to their feet.
