Which scene do you LOVE and why?

OMG, I just have too many!!
But if I need to only mention one, it's the scene where Scott dances with Fran behind the stage (with the Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps song playing) - you can really feel the chemistry there!! Love their facial expression on this dance too -- probably because they were dancing the rumba. I love the paso doble they did for the competition but the rumba is no. 1 on my list.

Any scene with Doug from the moment on that he tells Scott the truth.

When Doug has his outburst and demands that Scott listen to him...that intensity on his face and in his voice, especially when speaking to Shirley..."you should have stuck by me for better or for worse!" WOW! What a great moment for a normally meek character.

I also love the first few moments of Scott and Fran's final dance in particular. The timing of the crowd's cheers as they burst in, the sharpness of the first steps with the music...it blows me away every time!

And their earliest dancing to "Time After Time." That's partially because I love that song so much anyway, and it's choreographed to the music beautifully, and I love how it occasionally breaks to both the auditions and his father's secret dancing. Such cleverly orchestrated scenes!

I never cry at movies but the final scene when they shut off the music and Doug comes out of the crowd and begins to clap his hands to a beat. The look on his face just made me cry.

I also liked the Spanish influence in the dancing.

My favorite moment between Scott and Fran is brief. It's in the end of the film when they are dancing. It's about the end of the song. Fran stops straight up and scott slides to her and stands up right to her front of her face with a strong dramatic movement up. Something about that moment stands out to me. It's very strong and romantic.

there are so much scenes i love! but mostly

- the moment when scott starts to tell her (that he won´t dance with her, before doug comes and they go to the roof), fran/tara´s face is SO expressive, so vulnerable - it´s so touching!

- their dance to "time after time", their serious intensity, and then fran´s great pleasure when scott tells her that she´s "ready"

- the rumba behind the curtain, especially in the beginning, when fran places her hand at the "wrong" place and then shyly puts it higher, to his shoulder;

- when scott tells her that he´ll dance with HER and their so very beautiful smiles (just before fran´s father comes)

- the moment when scott got the rhythm, he´s turning with his arms above and a train passes and that lightcircle! just beautiful!

- the whole final dance

- fran´s last turn in the final dance, when her dress flies high, as some times before, and this time she weares WHITE pants (before: red). it´s one of the most charming goofs i´ve ever seen(lol).

ALL LIFE IS EQUAL

Most definetely the last scene.. Loved every second of it, from the moment Scott slid on the floor till the end .

Dear Warden.. You were right. Salvation lies within.

When Fran and Scott dance the Rumba to Perhaps backstage.

I'm anaspeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...
