66 (Old) Movie Dance Scenes Mashup (Mark Ronson-Uptown Funk ft.Bruno Mars)
I don't know if this has ever been posted here before. If it has, forgive me but I only recently became aware of it and have been completely blown away by it. It shows, more then any video or example I have ever seen, of how music and dancing is so universal over time. Also whoever edited it deserves some sort of lifetime achievement award for this alone.

Thanks for this Randy.
I liked it enough to forward a link to my daughter, (full screen link - ).
We're both fans of old movies, especially Shirley Temple & Mark Brothers stuff, so it was nice to see some of those clips again but I was surprised at just how many of those dance scenes I've seen over the years.
Again, great stuff! Thanks.
Glad you liked it.
What really surprised me about it was how the editor was able to take something as new as a Bruno Mars song (who quite frankly my wife laughs at me because I've never heard of him (and I'm 60 and she's 73)) and coordinate it with all of those old dance movie clips. I am a HUGE fan of old dance films, especially Astaire/Rogers films (my favorite is "Swing time") and to see that the music of this young artist fits so well with the old dance scenes of these older genius's of dance just makes me realize that it's all connected somehow. That there is some major rhythm or beat that holds the whole thing together and that, unlike most young supposed stars (who really are nothing but plastic), this young Bruno Mars has hit it. He feels it. He gets it. He has tapped into the real beat and feeling of music and dance. He is a very lucky young man to have this gift if he has because it is not something learned.
Too fabulous!
Isn't though? Simply toooo fabulous!!!!!
Loved every minute of it. Even Laurel and Hardy were doing their thing.
That was fantastic!
I was really surprised how many of the dancers I recognized, and how perfectly timed it was! WOW!
Thanks, so much for posting this!
I like the perfectly timed part too. In many parts it was almost like the choreography was created to go along with the music, even though the dance sequences were from old movies.
I enjoyed watching the video again.
Kudos
Thanks. It was up for too short of a time the last time so I think some people missed it and I think it's great!
