Sorry, does not come close. Not near the impace of the 1st movie, and is not rated that high either. If it had not been for the original Footloose, would have hardly been noticed.

I am sorry, but the Japanese Shall We Dance belongs here.

Good list but Footloose (2011) should have been #1. Amazing movie with Kenny Wormald as Ren. Did a great job with acting and especially with dancing. LOVED his Boston accent! (As do i)

This is actually one of the most interesting “best of” dance movies lists I’ve seen. Great job including some of the true classics. I’d also include ‘All That Jazz,’ ‘The Turning Point’ and ‘Center Stage’ to this list. All of these should be included on any list of the best dance movies ever made, IMO. Re: Gene Kelly – I’d also include ‘Singin’ in the Rain.’ Brilliant dancing!

According to everyone involved, the Blues Brothers was made as a musical. The cars were choreographed to the music. There are dance routines throughout the movie.
OK it is not specifically a dance movie, but Black Swan and Saturday Night Fever aren’t really dance films either. The former is more like 1981 weird beard art-house/horror flick Possession than it is a dance movie. And the latter is really a gritty new york social realist drama that centres on dancing. So the Blues Brothers which features musical numbers and dance routines in the format of a musical is more of a dance movie than either. It certainly has more in common with the Footloose, school of “we’ll put the show on right here in the barn school” of feel good high jinks.

There’s a difference between dance movies and musicals, Blues Brothers isn’t about the topic of dance specifically, it just has musical numbers in it.

Blues Brothers is missing again. Even the cars in it can dance.

This is a great list. How about One Last Dance with Patrick Swayze and Lisa Niemi? This rare look into the world of the dancer seen through the eyes of the dancer has exquisite dance scenes with Patrick and Lasa along with the theme that dreams can come true.
