BESTOV '09: scene from a major motion picture

It's that time again where I list a few things I thought were the BEST of '09 and you all disagree with me. I think we can all remember back in '89 when I said the best movie was Fred Savage's gritty performance in The Wizard. You all ripped me to shreds for that one, demanding that I recognize the bestness of Ghostbusters II.

So this year I won't declare a best movie of '09. (it was tie between Fantastic Mr. Fox and (500) Days of Summer) I will, however, give you my thoughts on the best scene from a major motion picture. When I saw this scene I wanted to french kiss the projectionist for sharing such greatness with us. It made me want to skip somewhere and buy the world ice cream. If I were at a friend's sleep over party I would stand up on the bed and rant about how much I loved this scene and then we'd have a huge pillow fight. No exaggerations here, but I would get one of those prison tattoos to declare my love for this dance number. I'd fill a ballpoint pen with soon-to-fade ink, bite down on a leather belt and make it official.

If you haven't seen the movie yet do not watch this clip. Go rent the movie asap.

Brad, How come I can't see the clip? There's a small icon but my computer refuses to open it. Help, please.

putting the vid up and saying don't watch it makes me want to punch a projectionist

do you know any I could punch?

Sean, I know this professor who lives near the esquire. He'd deny he was a moonlighting p-jectionist if you asked him. But trust me. Go ahead and punch him square in his lying mouth.

Now I know why Dean was looking for this movie at the library! For some reason I thought it was a chic flick? Sounds like we'll be seeing it soon, thanks for the recommendation!
