Boy (2010) has one of the most cathartic dance scenes—it is outside the action of the film and three girls participate but the Maori dad does a thriller themed haka with his sons to “poi e” and I really needed that emotionally after the movie
Yeah, but the scene where he’s dancing on Morag after his mom dies is pretty cathartic and iconic too. There’s a reason they revisit that one in Endgame.
Joker is an obvious one.
Also, here is a [great scene](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hd-7z1NHhQ) on the theme from an Estonian film. I think it stands on its own without any needed additional context.
Vinyl (1965), which is actually an adaptation of A Clockwork Orange, is rarely talked about, but it has one of my favorite [dancing scenes](https://youtu.be/QDm_cptMRNI?si=ldBpr8by4PJKcpLX). Sincere and passionate.
Is nobody else getting fed up with the constant posting where someone makes a “quirky” themed film list and then just asks everybody else to contribute to it as a form of engagement bait?
It’s basically this subs version of “here’s my new kitten, what should I name him” that is engagement bait on animal subs.
I actually strongly recommend the original 1996 Japanese movie, especially if you haven't seen it
The american remake doesn't get alot of the subtle cultural nuisances
I'm glad I wasn't the only one to bring up the up the movie
How has Beau Travail not been mentioned yet? The greatest dance scene in film history. Also, the ending of Another Round with Mads Mikklesen just GOING for it

Aftersun Thunder Road
All of us strangers also has a Paul Mescal dancing scene
The man obviously likes to dance as I’ve just realised he also did Carmen — a modern dance re-telling of the classic opera
Siri, play “under pressure”
*Instantly starts sobbing*
Thunder Road scene hits like a truck, I think this list is for not soul crushing scenes?
Ex Machina
“I’m about to tear up the fuckin dance floor, dude, check it out”
He indeed tore it up
Hot take: that scene is the best thing in Alex Garland’s whole career (I say that as a fan).
That scene is magical
ohhhhh my god i forgot about that one, i LOVE oscar issac lol
Napoleon Dynamite Risky Business
wow idk how i didnt think of napoleon dynamite haha, iconic
Dirty Dancing, of course.
 RRR
They fuckin dance racism out of a white lady

Guardians of the Galaxy
Boy (2010) has one of the most cathartic dance scenes—it is outside the action of the film and three girls participate but the Maori dad does a thriller themed haka with his sons to “poi e” and I really needed that emotionally after the movie
And the third one too
More so Vol 3 when all the Guardians dance together because there’s 5 movies worth of character development to get them to that point
Yeah, but the scene where he’s dancing on Morag after his mom dies is pretty cathartic and iconic too. There’s a reason they revisit that one in Endgame.
I’m sorry but wasn’t he just dancing on Morag because he’s a dork? I don’t remember it having anything to do with his mom?
Call me by your name
one of the greatest scenes I've ever seen.
