ghostly intervention than an attempt at the avant-garde are you doing this all night on a drink aroma stop banana peel Imani come it may have been intended to send the family and their dinner guests running but who doesn't like getting possessed by ghosts and dancing - Jamaican folk songs however it doesn't end all that well for these party guests come to think of it number nine little miss sunshine please give a warm welcome to miss olive Hoover Rick James super freak probably isn't the pic du jour for many children's beauty pageants but that's precisely why it works for this scene get off the street olive and her family finally make it to see her perform even carting the body of a deceased relative along for the ride um I'd like to dedicate this to my grandpa who showed me these moves oh that is so sweet is he here where's your grandpa right here in the trunk of our car never ones to be deterred and definitely not concerned with notions up for priety the young beauty queen in the making and her family bust out some serious moves they're all winners in our book yeah right number eight Slumdog Millionaire there may officially be no better way to wrap up a movie than with a choreographed dance sequence by catching Dashami on a kidney does anybody need a Salman after winning the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire the film's protagonist is reunited with his ladylove the dance scene may seem like a non sequitur but as a culmination of the film it seems like the perfect celebration not to mention we get treated to some pretty awesome music best end credits ever go ahead J like wish anything you think of anything number seven this is the end after arriving in heaven most folks would probably want to see their loved ones who made it through the rapture but crafty Jay Baruchel bucks convention and decides to rejoice with a dance sequence naturally audiences not only got to see a fun dancing but we're also treated to a full-on Backstreet Boys reunion that also features some of our favorite stars doing that dance you learned way back in the 90s but pretended was stupid so how was that for you number six the 40 year old virgin when the and you put her losing your virginity to the one you love can be a beautiful and emotional experience it can be so beautiful and emotional that it's punctuated by a hippie five dance party in the grassy hills what's even more entertaining is watching shirtless Paul Rudd and Seth Rogen hopping around to a cool psychedelic melody this is where nothing screams friendship like spontaneous choreography I love the Smiths sorry I said I love the Smiths number five 500 days of summer you if Kasumi is like this myth okay just when you thought the movie couldn't get any quirkier we're treated to Joseph gordon-levitt cutting a rug across town it's a cute scene in a cute movie that shows that apparently falling in love with your personal Manic Pixie dream girl can send a person into a hall & oates powered dance craze complete with cartoon birdies not that we're necessarily complaining we loved seeing flash mobs before flash mobs were thing number 4 The Breakfast Club it is now seven oh six you have exactly eight hours and 54 minutes to think about why you're here to ponder the error of your ways what happens when you put a jock a nerd a princess a burnout and a recluse together well they dance they dance like their detentions depend on it it's a dance medley in full-on 80s glory that reminds us that air guitar is really all some folks are capable of but at least we can tell they had fun and if you can't wear a foot bandanna while dancing out your suburban rage win can you number three risky business just take those old it was the dance sequence that sent a thousand kids crashing into their parents furniture it also propelled Tom Cruise to superstar status he plays a team that has the time of his life well his parents are away his foray into the world of prostitution and pimps is precluded by a late-night dance in his undies and a dresser and Tom Cruise showed off his smooth moves once again as Les Grossman in Tropic Thunder why you all in my ear talk it off man he's really let himself go has he yeah yo don't be like that number two Napoleon Dynamite yes he thought the rhythm moved through him and he just had to dance Bassam even said so in an otherwise muted movie this dance sequence stands out as a random but completely amusing deviation from the subdued canvas of the rest of the film so helping Napoleon has been secretly practicing his moves for some time waiting for the right moment to show them off and show them off he does this would almost make us want to vote for Pedro before our top pick shows us some smooth moves here are a few honorable mentions you moped if you're blue and you don't know where to go - why don't you go where fashion see and we've got one dishonorable mention as well now take on this number one Pulp Fiction a moment you've all been waiting for so world famous Jackrabbit slims twists contest since the days of Reservoir Dogs Quentin Tarantino's inclusion of a dance sequence and his otherwise gritty films has been like a palate cleanser for the audience and it seems rather fitting that john travolta given his history with dancing and movies shares the scene in question from pulp fiction and now the young this year in LA dom have rung the chapel even in spite of the light-hearted nature of the dance there's an intensity in the faces of the characters that reminds you someone's probably gonna die in the movie soon or at least come close do you agree with our list what's your favorite unexpected dancing for more entertaining top 10s published every day be sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com
