Top 20 Best Tango Dance Scenes in Movies

Being a Kdrama geek, I want to make another suggestion . Scent of a Women (not a remake just borrowed the title) starring Lee Dong-wook and Kim Sun- Ah. It makes my heart flutter every time.

CELL BLOCK TANGO ❤

When I look at footage of people dancing, it doesn't matter how showy or technically brilliant it is, If they don't look like they want to end up in bed together then it leaves me flat.

I came to see how high Rent would be on the list. #20 is blasphemous!

Благодарю!!! Супер!!!

Jean Arthur & Charles Boyer in History is Made at Night 1937

Antonio Banderas be in here a million times! lol

No

The fact that another Cinderella story tango didn’t even get a mention is criminal

PLEASE!!!!! Stop TALKING!!!!! You disrupt the viewers enjoyment of watching the dancing/dancers.

I loved Introducing the tango! Nobody does. It like Fred @nd Ginger!

You missed Anthony Quinn and Rita Hayworth. Too bad. It is wonderful.

Ah 'The Scent of A Woman is truely beautiful

RIP Raul Julia

In The Tango Lesson, when her tango friends take her to a Milonga to dance.

My mom didn't like Moulen Rouge, when I took her to see it, but she loved the tango. She was really amazed at the group tango in the climax of it.

Shall we dance with JLO - that was the best of all.

Looks like the person who comment these movies didn't watch them.

Libertango. Proper.

That was a lot of Fun. Thanks👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌹

A little less talking would help.

I remember an other Tango-Scene in "Another Cinderella Story"

The tango from Moulin Rouge to Roxanne, so sexy!

I wish to see this without narration which interrupt music!

I just wish you talked a little less- telling us things we already see in the video and don’t need to be told and by talking you keep us from hearing the music.

This video reminds of a scene in the Robert Heinlein novel “The Number of the Beast” in which two characters meet at an event and dance a tango. At the end of the dance, the man comments that they really should be required to get married after a dance that intimate. The woman accepts the apparent proposal and the man doesn’t back down even though it was clearly a joking comment. The novel takes off from there.

Not exactly. I thought the tango from zorro was fantastic

Maybe the "Chicago" Tango is the best and the most incredible, but in my opinion, the most beautiful and graceful on the list is the one done by Ginger and Fred couple; and the most touching is "Tangoing Blind" by Al Pacino. "La Cumbresita Tango" listed seems to be the most authentic one, I suppose.

The timestamp for La Cumparsita is mislabeled as "la cucaracha".....I'd fix that ASAP

There are two tangoes in True Lies, Arnold with the asian woman, and with Jamie Leigh Curtis. Both are as good or better than the ones you highlighted here.

True lies has two tangos and what about the three person tango in take the lead?!?!?

Awesome!! Thank you

Sad it's not even "honorable mentioned" tango by Rudolf Nureyev & Anthony Dowell in "Valentino" (1977)

No Last Tango

Astaire and Rogers really should be in the top five if not number one. There aren’t two dancers in any of these other films that were close to their skills, style, class, or connection.

You neglected one of the most famous cinema tangos: Last Tango in Paris.

How exactly did Libertango end up so far down this list? This was supposed to be a countdown to the best, not most well known or cinematic.

Mr. & Mrs Smith, Scent of a Woman, True Lies - All good movies. If there were TV shows we'd have to have Chuck!

What about the tango (both of them) in True Lies? My favorite part of that movie.

On the 3rd palace the music is a mixture at first of Roxanne by the Police but the ending is an tango called Tanguera by tango great Mariano Mores as can be seen in the movies Credits!

Really do the eyes have to look like frightened owl's eyes ?

Antonio Banderas in Shall We Dance is my favorite. I love the kids expressions during the dance

Wilder is hilarious is anything he gets involved with. Love his tango.

Rudolf Valentino in The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse was amazing. Even in a silent movie his tango made you want a cold shower.

Have you checked out a little independent comedy film called Tango Shalom? It’s a fantastic film in which a Rabbi ( who by his faith) cannot touch another woman other than his wife. Yet he to save his synagogue, asks for the help of a dance instructor to enter a tango contest for the prize money. They develop a tango in which they do not touch each other and yet it is more tantalizing than any other on film
