Easy Virtue, that’s my favorite
Yes! You included Scent of a Woman! That dance is so good and beautiful. Al Pacino did a great job and won the Oscar for it.
Nothing to say about Al Pacino or the movie ... but I don't like european Tango . Argentinian Tango World be out of his possibilities
Antonio Bandaris really performed quite astounding. His physique was perfect for the tango...
Madonna was pregnant in that scene.
Banderas smolders - which is the entire point of the tango.
Of course "Cell Block Tango" is #1. The dancing is incredible, (especially from Catherine Zeta-Jones,) and it's just so catchy.
She was also pregnant at the time!
@@kathymateerwhich one
To bad _"He had it coming"_ isn't a good defense. Don't ask how I know.
_(Maybe I should have said it dancing)_
@@kathymateer she was pregnant afterwards.
I loved "Take the Lead", who knew that Antonio Banderas can really dance?!
We didn't actually see much of Antonio dancing,mostly twirling the partner,ultra short shots making a few steps and very suggestive posture, all together with his gorgeous self just drop dead mesmerizing
If Antonio Banderas asked me to dance with him, my answer wouldn't be "Yes." It would be "Oh, Hell yes!"
As far as "True Lies," is concerned, I prefer the tango at the end.
That tango in The scent of a woman is way above every other one in the list, not from the point of the dance techniques, but the imagination of such a scene, the unparalleled acting and how that part plays into the whole plot. Hands down movie history apogee.
Antonio Banderas in Shall We Dance is my favorite. I love the kids expressions during the dance
The movie is called Take the Lead. ;)
Shall we dance: Richard Gere.
Ginger Rogers sheer black dress is to die for.
I’d reorder the final three. To me Tango de Roxanne is THE most amazing tango scene in cinema because it is arguably one of the best filmed/edited scenes EVER of any kind in cinema. And the choreography is top notch story telling on top of be gorgeous and sensual. Cell Block would be number two - and then Take the Lead would be fine in the number 3 position.
Totally agree, I have seen Moulin Rouge several times just for that scen.
I can’t believe El Tango De Roxanne wasn’t number one!
Wow. How on earth did you find The Tango Lesson? I have searched for years and have not found a copy. that alone marks a genuine joy. Kudos to you.
I'm glad that "True Lies" got an honorable mention, though the Tango dance scene included here is great, I like the ending Tango dance scene the most. I also like the scenes from "Scent of a Woman", "Shall We Dance", and "Take the Lead".
True, it's memorable, though on a second watch, you notice Arnie does very little while his partner(s) do all the work.
Tango de Roxanne. The Argentinian’s voice is amazing
I love “Por Una Cabeza” so my favorite is Scent of a Woman
Wilder is hilarious is anything he gets involved with. Love his tango.
Totally agree about Cell Block Tango! so fierce!
Totally agree that cell block tango from Chicago the movie is #1. Love it, love it, love it. What a bunch of kicka** women!
The Tango scene with Arnold Schwarzenegger ... was excellent. I didn't see it here.
True Lies. I was also disappointed in its exclusion.
That was a fantastic video! Cell Block Tango from Chicago has always been my favorite. And, yes, if Antonio Banderas asked me to tango, I'd say yes even if it did put me in traction for weeks afterward! haha
Astaire and Rogers really should be in the top five if not number one. There aren’t two dancers in any of these other films that were close to their skills, style, class, or connection.
The Tango Lesson is a wonderful movie…
Take the leaddddd🔥🔥🔥🔥
I forgot how fantastic Jennifer Lopez and Madonna could be in dancing! Great video!
What dance are you talking about
@@pamelaparsons9046 Argentine Tango in Shall We Dance (Jennifer Lopez) and Swing in A League of Their Own (Madonna)
The reason the Evita tango is unusual is that it isn't a tango. That's a waltz!
And I always thought the dance in adams family was a paso doble and more Spanish 🇪🇸 than Argentinian
A tango vals, actually. Still considered part of the three tango rhythms.
But they're not dancing Vals, they're dancing Waltz. Vals is much faster and rarely danced on all three beats-- typically just on the downbeat, or 1+2, or 1+3-- for improv syncopation to illustrate the music.
"Libertango" Should be way in the top 5
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this …
Shall we dance has to be my favourite because of the music and cell block tango, it's a great film and even better stage show 😊
I loved the tango from Easy Virtue!
the el tango de Roxanne is my favorite tango and a very good song ❤
Love the LiberTango - compare Pablo Veron to Colin Firth in Unlikely Partners and you find you cannot take your eyes off Veron.
I assumed "Waltz for Eva and Che" wouldn't make the list because it's a waltz not a tango so that was a pleasant surprise. I've loved that scene since I was 12 years old. The shifting to different locations and the chemistry between Madonna and Banderas is amazing.
It's a Viennese Waltz! There are a few steps of Tango in the beginning, and each of them makes a not so thinly veiled threat of violence to each other. Then they take wing and fly around the dance floor! It's also just a basic Viennese Waltz step called an advanced left turn, which is the second step that you learn in the Viennese Waltz. Then instead of smashing into each other, she just sinks to the floor and he fades into the darkness. You get the sense of both of their disappointment in this prosaic end to a meteoric rise.
tango has 3 kind of dances , one of them is also vals
Not a tango, but my favorite Latin musical dance number is the Paso Doble performed near the end of "Strictly Ballroom" All the sensuality of the tango, but a little different.
My mom didn't like Moulen Rouge, when I took her to see it, but she loved the tango. She was really amazed at the group tango in the climax of it.
Shall we dance with JLO - that was the best of all.
The tango in the vision and the Symbiose ❤
Love all the musical/dance numbers from Chicago, Cell Block Tango is terrific Now I will have to go find my absolute favorite number in the movie, We Both Reached For the Gun--very clever.
Brad and Angelina couldn't hide their attraction to each other!
I was thinking that dance the instant I saw this vid pop up on my feed. 😂
Although I was hopimg for the last one instead.
I remember an other Tango-Scene in "Another Cinderella Story"
That's one of my favorite movies of all time! I was hoping it would be on this list at least as an honorable mention. Oh well. It's #1 in my heart! 💃💖
These Movies with the Best Tango Dance Scenes are all Super Incredible, Remarkable, Amazing, Spectacular, Fantabulous and Stylish! My Pen Pal from Spain, back in Middle School in New Jersey, taught me, my Family and my Friends everything about the Legendary Salsa Dancing of Tango! 💃🎶🎵🎼🎹🎺
Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez, Shall We Dance. My favorite dance scene of all time!
If no one else is gonna say it then I will, the three person tango in Take The Lead is way more superior than the Detention Tango. That three-person tango was iconic as hell. That was dancing. Even Morgan had to admit it. She gave them credit so much to the point where she said let's call it a tie. The Broken Tango from Step Up 3D only got an honorable mention. Nah that's just messed up and wrong on so many levels.
YES! No one ever talks about it. One of the most underrated films overall, but that scene was iconic.
@@webbec It was iconic. Morgan couldn't stop watching. She was shook and this someone who has done ballroom dancing for years. She is a seasoned veteran.
Solid! Best tango ever!
I have watched this movie 10 times...love both scenes but seriously the choreography on the 3hree characters was the best ever.
Agree. Detention tango is a joke and a bad one.
Absolutely. I couldn’t believe it wasn’t included. And Cell Block
Tango was a tango in beat but not in dance except for a few spots. The Take the Lead 3 person tango was a masterwork in concept, choreography, and performance.
Center Stage has the best tango scene,the second is Rent,it's one of the best movies i've ever seen.
As an actual Argentine tango dancer, here is my opinions on the clips.
Scenes with actual Argentine Tango (AT):
17 - The Tango Lesson: I don't like the dancing (personally). It feels a bit stiff and too...choreographed but the dancing is actual AT.
12 - Tango Libre: I liked this scene. You could see all the masculinity that could come when two men dance together. It feels like a fight.
10 - Love and Dance: I liked the photo direction, the look and the dancing in general, even though it feels a little still and overly stylized .
4 - Tango; With Miguel Ángel Solá and Mía Maestro. They were maestros when the film was made. By today standards, their dancing is a bit dated but it's still good tango.
HM - Assassination Tango; Robert Duvall and Luciana Pedraza did a great job. Their tango feels natural and we would expect from actual AT dancers. If you would take a video of me, I dance like that.
Scenes that get a pass:
18 - Easy Virtue (it's okay as AT)
2 - Take the Lead (Same, overly stylized and an okay AT)
All the rest of the scenes are not even close to what Argentinian Tango really is, even though some have tango music in them. Some are a mishmash of ballroom tango and other ballroom dances like paso doble or really bad dancing all diluted with what Hollywood thinks AT is.
More movies with actual AT scenes:
"The Two Popes", the milonga scene were the young Bergoglio goes out dancing.
"Upside Down", the two cafe scenes (the one with 'El Ultimo Cafe sang by Goyeneche...Love this song!"). Also, I know the background dancers in this movie, they are my friends and dance partners.
Hello Anne
As an argentinian Tango dancer and teacher, Let me answer to some of your good explanation
1 Tango of Saura: Miguel Angel Sola & Mia Maestro were not Tango maestros, but actors, the scene of the video was with the great dance Copes
2 I can't believe you said
"An ok AT" to Take the lead and you don't like the dancing of Pablo Veron in Tango lesson.
Opinion for opinion, of course.
Good Milongas!
Yeah, it's a little weird to see Pablo Veron so far down on that list, when most of the list definitely isn't actual tango (ie "ballroom tango" isn't lead/follow, it's just pattern recognition or choreography-- I used to teach it, and lost interest when I realized how complicated, spontaneous, and musical real tango could be!)
@@beatrizluyando3006 Yeah, you’re right, the dancer was Copes. My mistake!
I don’t like Pablo Veron. Both his dancing and as a person (I’ve met him a couple of times). But that’s my personal preference. I still recognize he’s a good dancer.
@@anne12876 Of course .
I 've met him in person too. I didn't have a bad sensation with him ... Sometimes it's easy to give a wrong impresion if we don't know somebody. For me it's sensational... one of my 3 favourite tango dancers of all times
Mr. & Mrs Smith, Scent of a Woman, True Lies - All good movies. If there were TV shows we'd have to have Chuck!
The fact that another Cinderella story tango didn’t even get a mention is criminal
Thanks for mentioning that--I hadn't seen it before! Awesome!!
Rudolf Valentino in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was amazing. Even in a silent movie his tango made you want a cold shower.
My favorite - dance from "Easy virtue". So passion and dramatic.
The 5th and 7th dances are the best❤❤❤
#7) I've seen this dance scene back in my high school years in my dance class when we were learning how to dance the tango.
Who else loves the Adams couple?😂😂😂 They are the best. Also, I'm so glad you added the one from Take the Lead. That is my favorite movie!
I love Antonio Banderas in the school detention scene and Al Pacino in Scent of a Woman. Oh how I would love to tango with them xx if only!
A little gem out there is the tango in Endeavour.
The Tango Shalom gets my honorable mention - a Tango with a Balloon to obey religious rules. Very creative!!
That was a lot of Fun. Thanks👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹
Ah 'The Scent of A Woman is truely beautiful
The real Pierre Dulaine (Banderas’ character) appears as a judge near the end of Take the Lead. A magic film that prompted me to return to learn how to really lead.
No dance list is complete without Fred Astaire and Ginger Rodgers!
I see that Antonio Banderas and Raul Julia keep showing up. Ahh!
the tango with Sir Sean Connery and Kim Basinger in "never say never again"!!!!
Purrrrrfect ❤
Благодарю!!! Супер!!!
I loved Introducing the tango! Nobody does. It like Fred @nd Ginger!
Awesome!! Thank you
It's hard to believe we've waited 13 years for this video!
All these tangos are superb but the Chinese film "City of Streamer" has another great tango that most people have probably never seen.
I always liked the tango scenes in True Lies
I also love the tango scenes in "Love and other disasters" you can't tango if your drunk! and "Lost in Paris" how many people can tango in sneakers? Shame they weren't included or given honorable mentions.
Libertango. Proper.
This video reminds of a scene in the Robert Heinlein novel “The Number of the Beast” in which two characters meet at an event and dance a tango. At the end of the dance, the man comments that they really should be required to get married after a dance that intimate. The woman accepts the apparent proposal and the man doesn’t back down even though it was clearly a joking comment. The novel takes off from there.
Maybe the "Chicago" Tango is the best and the most incredible, but in my opinion, the most beautiful and graceful on the list is the one done by Ginger and Fred couple; and the most touching is "Tangoing Blind" by Al Pacino. "La Cumbresita Tango" listed seems to be the most authentic one, I suppose.
Por Una Cabeza (in both Scent of a Woman & True Lies) is just as legit as La Cumparsita. And Santa Maria by Gotan Project (in Shall We Dance clip) is pretty classic nuevo tango...
Dance with Devil - "Black Swan" (2010)
Vincent D'Onofrio, Naked Tango. Amazing
I wish TV could be included. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend’s “Horny Angry Tango” is a standout moment from the entire 4 season run.
Wow - this narrator managed to squeeze every bit of sensuality fron every single tango - her voice could peel paint off an outhouse wall.
Zlro was one of the best tangos.
In The Tango Lesson, when her tango friends take her to a Milonga to dance.
Great ❤😂🎉
Being a Kdrama geek, I want to make another suggestion . Scent of a Women (not a remake just borrowed the title) starring Lee Dong-wook and Kim Sun- Ah. It makes my heart flutter every time.
Mr and Mrs Smith ❤❤
Confused as to why they showed the Paso Doble from Zorro in the opening sequence, but at least they didn't rank it as a Tango. 😉
Check out the tango scene in 1970's The Conformist between Stefania Sandrelli and Dominique Sanda. You can find it here on UA-cam.
For a moment I was worried the tango from spy kids would be in here 😂
Catherine Deneuve dancing in Indocine
Amazing how many times we saw Antonio Banderas and Raul Julia! And wasn’t the guy singing “Roxanne” the same one as the dancer in the Polish movie too?
Strictly Ballroom!!!
You messed up. Assassination Tango is one of the best dance movies ever, And at least 2 or 3 of the tangos in it should be in your top 10
How could you not include "Strictly Ballroom"?
LOVED that tango! (They might not have included it because it's ballroom--but it's more tango than the Evita waltz or the Gene Wilder spoof)
NOOOOOO, the Antonio Banderas dance was miles better than True Lies!
*MY FAVORITES:*
Valentine's Dance Tango - Another Cinderella Story
After Hours Lesson - Shall We Dance?
Introducing the Tango - The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle
Detention Tango - Take the Lead
A Disarming Dance - Mr. & Mrs. Smith
Creepy & Kooky Tango - Addams Family Values
Two to Tango - The Wedding Planner
"El Tango de Roxanne" - Moulin Rouge!
Masquerade Tango - Step Up 3D
"Cell Block Tango" - Chicago
I really hate when they mix tango with flamenco. Both are beautiful, there's no need to combined and say "that's tango"
Takes two to tango
(Bad joke drum sound and crickets)
I’ll show myself to the next page
Scent of a Woman and the tangos, However, Jerry Lewis, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse...
Not a big fan of Mojo listicles, but i'll play.
No. 10 has to be my favorite, closely followed by No. 20. Not only is the dancing terrific, but the cinematography is gorgeous, which is what you want, because, after all, it is a movie, not just Come Dancing.
There are three dance scenes I want to mention that are still engraved on my memory. The Russian "Burnt By the Sun" not only has a nice and unexpected step dance sequence, but also a flash back scene of a couple dancing alone in a wintry park to a tango only they hear.
As an add=on, the movie "White Nights" has a lot of dancing, seeing how it stars Gregory Hines and Mischa Barishnikov.
An episode of "Lovejoy" has an opening scene in which the vicar let's loose on the church organ, unaware that Ian McShane and his costar started dancing below him. Lovejoy, with a rose clenched between his teeth, delivers himself of the unforgettable line "in this town, you dance with the one what brung you".
For an extra level of remove, find the Japanese original that Gere's "Shall We Dance?" is a remake of.
My three favorites, Cell Block Tango, Take the Lead with Antonio Banderas and his partner and Jennifer Lopez with Richard Gere.
CELL BLOCK TANGO ❤
I really like the tango dance scene from the cheetah girls 2 (with the song dance with me by drew seeley ft belinda )
I hadn't seen that before--thanks for mentioning it--awesome!!
@@emfrothingham779 it's an awesome scene
The tango from Moulin Rouge to Roxanne, so sexy!
Sad it's not even "honorable mentioned" tango by Rudolf Nureyev & Anthony Dowell in "Valentino" (1977)
Zorro,Catherine Zeta Jones and Antonio Banderas
