Good dance movies?

Does anyone have any suggestions for movies that include good dancing? It would be good if the focus was dance, but even movies with good dance scenes would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Kevin

The Japanese film, "Shall we dance" is probably the best movie. I also like Baz Luhrman's, "Strictly Ballroom". "Dance with me" with Vanessa Williams is worth watching as well.

What Do you think about the real classical dance movie "Dirty Dancing"? I think it's the best dance movie

What about the classic classics - Astaire/ Rogers movies. It also depends on what type of dance you're looking for - social dancing, a choreographed routine? I just saw Chicago. The opening number was great (Cabaret).

Most of the good movies have been metnioned, however I read on the 'Net that Jennifer Lopez and Ricahrd Gere Make do a remake (June 2003) of the 1996 Japanese movie "Shall We Dance." Guess we'll all look for it, but I don't think that Gere can get the humorous personality of the 'lead' (pun intended) Japanese male actor!

I love Dirty Dancing. It first came out when I was in college, and we went to see it several times. Other than Dirty Dancing I've never paid theatre prices more than once!

I haven't seen any of the others, so thanks for the suggestions!

Are there any others?
