I rarely think of Gabrielle Anwar, who turns 38 today, but when I do, I feel the need to relive her Scent of a Woman tango with Al Pacino (below). That leads me to this question: What are your favorite dance scenes in non-dance movies? This is definitely one of mine. Pacino tosses her around just enough to make you believe that she didn’t know what step was next.

Easy–that super-hot Brangelina tango in “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”. Oh baby.
Rene Russo and Pierce Brosnan in The Thomas Crown Affair. Sexy, intense and the perfect way to play out the interaction between their characters.
um, what about our favorite Gabrielle Anwar moments? Like when she jumps on that horse after being going blind in Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken. And Jake Ryan does a slo-mo cheer….
Pulp Fiction. Travolta. Thurman. Case closed.
Me, too – PULP FICTION!
Agree with daisyj. Russo & Brosnan came to mind immediately. Also liked the amusing tango in True Lies. And of course, Napoleon Dynamite.
Some very good ones have been mentioned.
Jon Heder in “Napoleon Dynamite”, Schwarzenegger and Tia Carrerre in “True Lies” (what is it about tangos?), Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston in “Along Came Polly” (funny stuff), merengue scene in “My Blue Heaven” with Steve Martin (very funny stuff), and the “Thriller” dance scene in “13 Going on 30″ is just fun.
I don’t know that any of those are the best, but I know what the worst is: “Spider Man 3″.
Two words: True Lies!!!
nah i think Pulp Fiction takes this award.
Pulp Fiction, hands down, no contest!
And let’s not forget Little Miss Sunshine and the adorable array of stripper moves that Alan Arkin taught to Abigail Breslin (the latter of whom really needs to find a way to Websterize herself — her cuteness is dwindling fast!)…
What about the dance from Urban Cowboy? Or FOOTLOOSE??? And does anyone remember the dance scene from Prom night in “She’s All That”? I thought it looked like fun!
I have to say, I loved Gabrielle Anwar in Wild Hearts Can’t be Broken. Even as an adult, I can’t help but get caught up in the suspense of the story, and when she makes that blind dive at the end, I still find myself holding my breath!
To Em – I don’t think Footloose can count as a non-dance movie…
Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon in “A Knight’s Tale”!
Mr. and Mrs. Smith
She’s outstanding on “Burn Notice” (though there’s very little dancing).
Jim Carrey and Cameron Diaz in THE MASK. Any excuse to stare at Cameron’s delicious body!
Right on daisyj! Pierce Brosnen and Rene Russo in “The Thomas Crown Affair” were the two I thought of first. “Pulp Fiction”’s dance was awesome too.
The ‘Thriller’ dance in ‘13 Going on 30′ was super fun in an otherwise ‘meh’ movie.
Totally random but I like Ronnie’s tribal dancing at the prom scene in Can’t Buy Me Love.
I just ordered “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” on my Blockbuster account! I love that movie, love love love it!
Dance scene in a non-dance movie…um…I don’t know, I can’t stop thinking about how awesome “Wild Hearts Can’t Be Broken” is. Why aren’t we talking about our favorite Gabrielle Anwar moments?
african anteater dance!
also i first thought of true lies – the tango with jamie lee curtis. I think the most suprising dance was little miss sunshine, though
MIRA SORVINO, LISA KUDROW & ALAN CUMMING IN “ROMY & MICHELE’S HIGH SCHOOL REUNION” TO “TIME AFTER TIME”!!!!
First time I ever saw Aidan Quinn was in the 1984 movie “Reckless” with Daryl Hannah. His rebellious character’s unorthodox dancing in the prom scene was unforgettable!
Michael J. Fox and Julie Warner slow dancing to “Crazy” in Doc Hollywood.
Also, any dancing that Mike Myers does as Austin Powers.
Madonna in Swept Away – a yellow dress, tussled hair, sex appeal galore.
hello how are fine do
