Sometimes there’s a song set to a scene in a movie that makes you want to wet your pants in excitement. They just don’t put progress to music in movies like they used to, nor do they let people lip sync nearly enough. I miss those days. But now that there’s YouTube, we can watch these scenes as many times as we want. Here are some of the best around.
Michael J. Fox as Scott Howard – Surfin USA (Teen Wolf)
I could only find this en Espanol. No problemo. Stiles crushing beers + 1 million werewolf backflips + wide stance guitar playing = Awesome in any language. The only thing that would have made this better is if Boof were somewhere in the scene. See video.
Lou Diamond Philips as Ritchie Valens – La Bamba (La Bamba)
“Here’s a bit of a rattlesnake.” Flipping awesome. I’m not joking about this one. See video.
Pat Morita as Mr. Miyagi – Japanese Blues (Karate Kid)
(Chuck Norris + Jean Claude Van Damme + Carl Weathers) * Steven Segal = Would Lose in a Fight to Mr. Miyagi ^1000 Sake Bombs. See video.
Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa – Training Montage (Rocky IV)
This song makes me want to punch through drywall and accidentally hit a stud and eat a Russian’s face off. See video.
Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly – Johnny B. Goode (Back to the Future)
Michael J. Fox strikes again. Boy this guy had a flair for the dramatic. The Enchantment Under the Sea dance looked incredible – Marty totally would have gotten some play if his mom hadn’t ruined the whole thing. See Video.

Wow.. no Danger Zone/Top Gun, Iron Eagle/Queen-One Vision, Highlander/(multiple sword fighting scenes), or Flash Gordon/more Queen… seems to be a Queen and soundtrack theme going here.
I can’t believe you left out the “Send Me An Angel” scene from Rad and I agree with Alex that the oversight of Danger Zone in Top Gun was a huge mistake. I’m sure “Winner Takes It All” from Over The Top also should have been included along with the run-dancing warehouse scene or the tractor-chicken scene from Footloose.
The biggest error, my friend, was leaving off the “We Are Not Alone” library dance scene from Breakfast Club. Do a bit more research next time please.
If you think I’m capable of doing any more research than daydreaming about my favorite 80′s movies for 5 minutes, you’ve got the wrong Guy. And I’m pretty sure Breakfast Club is a borderline chick flick, although I wouldn’t know because I’ve never seen it since I don’t watch chick flicks or movies that try to trick me into thinking Molly Ringwald is hot.
I’ve gotta throw the “Twist and Shout” parade scene from Ferris Bueller on this list.
@That Guy – if you’re gonna write a blog post about it claiming they are “some of the best around”, maybe you should spend more than 5 minutes thinking about it…
I know nothing gets me going quite like the montage in Karate Kid. “You’re the best………AROUND! No ones gonna ever keep you down!” Damn right.
