Heya Crew,
I grew up dancing and it gives me a thrill still to watch it done well. Though I think they should have included America from West Side Story, as close to perfection as anything I’ve ever seen. It’s under the Top 10. Even now it makes my heart so full I get choked up.
Please enjoy.

Ellen, I was outraged that they’d left it out. So glad you enjoyed it.

That really was a fab link, not only with several movies in it that I haven’t seen, and REALLY now need to see (and I never knew about those Busby Berkeley pianos!)
But you are TOTALLY right: it is definitely lacking “America”.

Hi there hellkat Jen,
Yes, I LOVE Busby Berkeley. When I was in plays and stuff there were always BB references so a girlfriend and I watched a few of his choreographic movies. So fun and awe inspiring.

Thanks for sharing this! Of course they left many faves out (Strictly Ballroom should have been in the top 10!) but the Bollywood one was wonderful and I hadn’t heard of that. Love it!
