Turn up your sound for this one.
I’m calling it.
It’s official.
This video has to be the most awesome dance movie compilation of all time.
I know that this is a pretty big call. But, I am 100% certain you would agree.
Someone very clever and amazing has taken the most awesome song, “Shut Up and Dance” by Walk the Moon, and all the greatest dance scenes from movies and put them together.
There are a total of 83 movie clips shown in 3:18 minutes (there's actually 88 clips, but there are a few double ups...because some movies have more than one awesome dance scene).
Now, before you watch the video (P.S. Crank up your sound, trust me), let's play a little game.
How many of the movies can you guess?
Don't be too disheartened if you get it wrong. I got to about 10...but not because I am not a movie lover...more that the song took over and I ended up dancing in my seat on the bus. Plus being amazed at how someone could perfectly match so many clips to the beat.
Watch the video and in the comments below, tell me...how many movies did you guess right? (Don't cheat, but there is a full list of the movies below the video.)
