non-musical movies that end with the protagonist spontaneously breaking out of their dour existence through dance

feels like the big ones are "another round" and "beau travail." however i watched the chinese modern noir "black coal, thin ice" and it has one of these scenes too (it's the penultimate scene, not the final scene, but close enough).

i was trying to think of more last night and the closest i could get is "all that jazz," though it is kind of a musical and scheider doesn't do much dancing in that final number iirc

Doesn't Buffalo 66 end with Ricci dancing?

She dances to King Crimson's "Moonchild" in a fantasy in the middle of the film. If Gallo had guts, he would have included all 12 minutes of the song.
