That...was amazing. WHY DO THE BUILDINGS BLEED?
It's called a blaster, Will, a word that tends to discourage experimentation. Now, if it were called the Orgasmater, I'd be the first to try your basic button press approach.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Another board is having their "question of the day" being all about movies, specifically "What is your favorite movie about dance, whether it's a musical or just a movie about dancing in general?"
I mentioned a bunch of classics, but ended up settling on All That Jazz, especially pointing out the "Take Off with Us" number that steals the show, ending with Sandahl Bergman taking off her bra and being the center of a pseudo-orgy of writhing dancers. I also loved the finale of "Bye Bye Life" with Ben Vereen and Roy Scheider.

"What is your favorite movie about dance, whether it's a musical or just a movie about dancing in general?"
Probably Strictly Ballroom. I also really like Les Demoiselles de Rochefort, which is Jacques Demy's dancing companion to the singing Les Parapluies de Cherbourg. It stars Catherine Deneuve and her sister Françoise Dorléac, as well as George Chakiris and Gene Kelly.

Strictly Ballroom for me as well. One of the things that I especially love is that when showing a super awesome king of the world dancer/dance, they goof it right the frig up, rather than a dance that inadvertantly sucks but was supposed to rock.

Because books.
I love All That Jazz, Kathy. One of my all-time favorites of any kind. Roy Scheider is so fantastic in that role.

"I want Ken Railings to walk in here right now, and say 'Pam Short's broken both her legs, and I wanna dance with *you*!'"
(Ken) "Pam Short's broken both her legs, and I wanna dance with you." "That was unexpected."

I would have to go with a Fred Astaire, but which one would take research.

Ooh, I forgot, there used to be dance movies that didn't consistently suck.
(I refuse to watch movies from the 70's and 80's for the most part, so I'm sure that there is a more than a small gap in my knowledge base)
