Amongst them I liked -

- Laura's introduction.

- Laura & Tony's first meeting.

- Jackie's wave at Tony on the stage at the club. [So sweet!]

- Laura's "Oh no...Oh Tony, you don't think that, do you? Do you? It's just until tomorrow..." [Nice voice!]

- Tony's walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn.

- Jackie & Tony's dance rehearsal.

- Tony & Laura's practice number when Butler leaves.

- Satan's Alley Part 1 [When Laura is introduced in her Satan outfit, I love the way she smirks at Tony when he lowers her down the platform!]

- Satan's Alley Part 2 [The instrumental slow dance number - Love the score here...]

- Satan's Alley Part 3 [The ascent to Heaven...]

- The strut. [Love the outtake of John smiling away from the camera at the end!]

What do you think?

Any time Tony lifts Cynthia or Finola (particularly the butt grab while her legs are lifted straight up)

But specifically, when Manero first steps into the fog and the dancers are roaring. After Tony backs up, cut to the music: "OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH FIRE!" and the lights turn on.

When Jesse (director) tells Tony to go to hell, because essentially, the show he's directing IS hell, called Satan's Alley. I kinda thought the director should have implied he wanted Tony to try again to get the lead of the show, because he said go to hell.

When Tony proposes to Jackie outside her apartment.

Any scene with We Dance So Close to the Fire.

favorite lines:

Hi I'm Joy.
I'm happiness.

I was just talking to her because I thought she was an okay dancer.

Hm, well I think it's about time we said goodnight.

TURN DOWN THE RADIO!

Jackie, I'll see you tomorrow if I don't drown.

what do you think?
she's good.
what about him?
He's good but he's too mechanical.

I want you to know that I never coulda done this tonight without knowing you.

Best part of the movie - When Tony And Jackie rehearse together for his spot as the lead dancer. The music and slow motion was just great.

YOU MADE ME PLAY SECOND BASE!

I always liked the scene when Tony and Laura met and walked through Central Park to the music of the Bee Gees.

[–] martlovesmovies 13 years ago

Loved the scene of Tony and Laura in Central Park especially when they were dancing and then he takes off with her purse. Thought they had great chemistry throughout the whole movie.
