3. He’s supposed to be performing a lovely ballroom dance, but he’s drunk; she covers for him and makes it look like a comedy dance routine.

4. As soon as his parents are out of town, he dances alone to rock & roll.

5. Her costume is stolen while she’s on break, and she becomes hysterical, but she must return to the dance in dirty clothes.
HINT: Although this movie revolves entirely around dance, and takes place entirely at a dance, it is not a musical.

1: The Mask
2. True Lies?
4.
Oops. 4: Risky Business
1. The Mask, I think
2. Wait, isn’t that the Mask as well?
3. Holiday Inn
4. Risky Business
(holy crap!)
I admit the others ring some bells… although one of them may be a Bond film, so it shouldn’t. But if it has a Bond bond, then it still could.
#5 makes me think of Drop Dead Gorgeous, but I don’t think that’s right…
Oops, that was like, instant. You guys get the tie.
Oh, and nobody got 2 or 5 (yet).
#2 is Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta Jones inThe Mask of Zorro
#6 isJames Cromwell in Babe
#7 is Gene Kelly, Dan Dailey, and Michael Kidd in It’s Always Fair Weather
Melville, for #2, Zeta-Jones is the villain’s daughter, not girlfriend. There’s a better match.
#6; I don’t recall a dance, and Cromell plays a shepherd, not a dairyman.
#7 is correct.
Melville, for #2, Zeta-Jones is the villain’s daughter, not girlfriend.
Ah, yes, I remembered that 5 minutes after posting. My bad.
#6; I don’t recall a dance, and Cromell plays a shepherd, not a dairyman.
He definitely does a dance, though, now that I think of it, I don’t remember if it was in the barn.
I thought #2 was True Lies too, but I’m pretty sure #6 is Fiddler on the Roof.
D’OH!!!
(Yeah, that be Fiddler.)
Okay, I confess: I’ve never seen True Lies, so maybe it’s there too.
If 2 isn’t True Lies (which was my first thought, but I’m not sure whether that was a charity ball – it’s a really slow film to get going and then it gets silly… fun, but silly), then I guess it’s Never Say Never Again.
I thought and thought, and suddenly it came to me: #5 is They Shoot Horses, Don’t They
Melville, you’re my hero.
