With Footloose, the remake, now out in theaters, it seemed only appropriate to take a look at the top ten dance movies of all time. We all know and love them, regardless if we’ll admit it or not. And now, in the words of Kevin Bacon in the original Footloose, “Let’s dance!”
1. Dirty Dancing – In 1987, Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey had young girls everywhere swooning and begging their parents for dance lessons. There’s drama, edgy dance moves, and of course, steamy love scenes. Pack all this together, and you have not only one of the best dance movies of all times, but also one of the great love stories. After all, “nobody puts Baby in a corner.”
2. Footloose – If you were a teenager in the ‘80s, then surely you know the lyrics to the Kenny Loggins song, “Footloose,” by heart. That’s because Kevin Bacon and Lori Singer, not to mention young Sarah Jessica Parker and Sean Penn, danced their way into teenage hearts in 1984’s Footloose.

Iron Man 2 hits theaters in exactly 2 weeks, which means that you can expect to see the internet turned upside down and twisted into a gigantic Iron Man playground in that time. Not only will Paramount be sending out as much fodder for the press to chew on, but it’s nice to see that fans out there are gearing up for the sequel as well.
Over the past few weeks, YouTube author ReubenPac has been posting some great Iron Man mash ups with AC/DC tracks and other films. Jon Favreau tweeted about his Iron Man & ACDC vs. Dirty Dancing video, as well as a few less than humorous mash ups with Titanic and When Harry Met Sally.
All of the CG rendering was done by the author, and use of the Maya 3D modeling program. They’re all pretty impressive, but by far the most impressive (and the funniest) is the clip of Iron Man punching Hugh Grant in the face. It’s random, and uses AC/DC as an emphasis on how the band has become the personal soundtrack to all things Iron Man.
Check out the clip after the jump, laugh, and keep it here for more on Iron Man 2 as the May 7th release date draws near.
