I'm sure we did this once but i can't find it or anything like it.
Anyway scenes that *actually capture the sprit and feeling of dancing on a dancefloor* to my mind are in City of God and Human Traffic, with a nod in the direction of Boogie Nights and Go. Any others? YouTube links a must!

I like the Pigeon Toed Orange Peel sequence in Clint's "Coogan's Bluff" for its sixties vibe.

there are some awesome go-go dancer scenes (well, maybe only one, at the beginning) in the Monkees' Head movie.

The best house club scenes I've ever seen were in the French film Clubbed to Death, which is essentially about clubbing as an escape from mundane life, but it's way more artsy than Human Traffic.

'clubbed to death' is well better than 'human traffic'. visually bits of 'morvern callar' are good for this.

i like the dance scene in Get Carter, but that's probably not what you're looking for

The dance scene in Get Carter?!
― pisces, Monday, 13 August 2007 09:49 (eighteen years ago)
he goes to a club advertising "big beat", seriously.
― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 13 August 2007 09:59 (eighteen years ago)
obviously he got into chillout at mates' afterparties

This brief sequence captures what it's like to be off your tits in a club far more eloquently than the whole of Human Traffic.

I'm told there's a scene in CRUISIN (hi dere, Al Pacino!) in which he snorts some amyl nitrate and gets busy on the dance floor. Can anyone corroborate this? I've never seen CRUISIN.

in the simpsons episode where homer moves in with the gay roomates in the gay part of town, there is a scene where he goes dancing in a club to forget about his marge marriage woes that always strikes me as incredibly true to the experience of letting it all go on the dancefloor.
