- I know this, 'cause I just watched this version of it.
- What is it? It's a really cheesy title.
- I don't know. I have no guess.
- It's old and it's a dancing movie.
- ♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) Today, we're gonna have you guess
some movie posters and the theme is dance movies.
- Aw, I don't know if I'm gonna do good with this one.
I don't really watch dance movies.
- Okay, now I'm nervous. I don't know if I know
their movie posters.
- Man, all right. I thought I was gonna kill this
until you said "Dance movies."
- Nope. All that cliche stuff
like dance movies, love movies, musicals, yeah, no.
I don't watch those.
- I might do okay. If it was romance movies,
I would know every single one. I love romance movies.
- Okay, okay. I'll know them,
but not know what the title is.
I'll probably be able to tell you the whole storyline but not
be like, "Yeah, this is actually this movie."
- Yes, yes, yes, yes! I am into all of that.
All I watched when I was little was freakin' dance movies
and musicals. That was me right here.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) All right, here is the first movie poster.
- No idea. I see Channing Tatum,
but I don't know who the girl is.
- "Every second chance begins with a first step."
I don't think I know this one.
- Is that Channing Tatum? I've definitely seen this picture,
but I'm not sure what the title is.
- I've seen it. What is it?
It's a really cheesy title.
- This is Step Up.
- Step Up. I know it's Channing Tatum
and his now wife.
- Oh yeah, this is Step Up. Aw, this is a good one.
- This is where he met his wife. It's Step Up, just because
it's not my favorite one. The one after it
is my favorite one because Moose is in it
and Moose is my husband.
- (FBE) So this is... - Oh, okay.
Step Up. Have I seen that?
- Step Up. Okay, jeez.
I think I've seen maybe the first two of these.
- I was a little too young for the Step Ups as a kid,
but as I got older, I went back and watched
all of them. I started out in hardcore
street hip hop, so I had a couple teachers
in these movies.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Here's the next one. Do you know it?
- Uh, no, I don't know this one, but that's Zoe Saldana.
- Those people don't look familiar. I've never seen this movie before.
- I have no idea what this is.
- What do I even try to guess based on this poster?
I have no idea.
- They look like ballet dancers. I have no idea what this is.
- Okay, this looks old. So this is like a combo
of two bad things for me. It's old and it's a dancing movie.
- Oh, I don't know if I know this one.
That looks like Zoe Saldana though, but I don't think I've ever
seen this one.
- Oh my God, oh my God. It's not Flashdance.
It's not Honey. Oh my God,
why do I not know this one?
- (FBE) So this one is called...
- Center Stage. No, I've never heard
of that one.
- Center Stage. Oh, I've heard of this one.
- (FBE) This movie is about a group of ballet dancers
who are trying to get into the American Ballet Academy
in New York with the hopes of joining the company.
- Well, that's interesting, but I'm definitely not
gonna get that one right.
- I'll watch the first ten minutes and I'll see how I like it.
- Oh, that would be tough, 'cause I've seen a lot
of documentaries. It's harsh, 'cause I know
a lot of ballet dancers that they break their toes
or their feet bleed.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you know this movie? - I am absolutely clueless.
- Just looking at this picture, I'm thinking about Whitney Houston,
but I already know it's not.
- This doesn't even bring a spark to my head.
It's just a straight up fat no.
- So, it's one lady sitting on a chair.
Not really sitting. I can't even see her face.
How am I supposed to guess this?
- Dirty Dancing?
- I'm just gonna say Dirty Dancing, 'cause that's the only thing
that comes to mind, but I don't think that's right.
- Flashdance?
- I know this is the iconic thing and the water's coming down.
Flashdance, but I'm not positive.
- (FBE) This movie is... - Never heard of any
of these movies.
- Flashdance. For some reason,
I get those two mixed up, because the chick
has the same hairstyle in both of them.
- Flashdance. I think I've seen this.
Is this about a stripper? And she wants to become
a real dancer. I've seen this.
- I remember that iconic pull the water
and then on the chair just kinda-- I used to do that a lot
in middle school. Don't ask me why.
- Ah, I got it right! I remember seeing this one
as a kid and it was the '80s and it's the big hair
and the fun, I would call it jazzercise, but I don't know
if that's really what it is.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you recognize this poster?
- Man, this looks like a really cheesy 2000s movie.
- "A slammin' combo of dance and drama."
Isn't that every dance movie?
- I don't know, those people kinda look familiar,
but I don't think I've seen this movie before.
- I just see a really long, blurred out name,
so I'm just trying to fit a name in there.
- Well, it looks like there's romance involved as well,
because there's two people up there.
It looks like a fun movie, though.
- It's not Dance Flick, is it? No, Dance Flick is the parody
of all these movies combined.
- Oh my God. No, I know this movie.
I know this one, 'cause my mom watched it
all the time. I know this movie.
I know it.
- Julia Stiles, I have seen in a lot of things.
I don't know if I know this one. If I was gonna guess,
it seems like it's about tap dancing just from the pose.
- (FBE) So, this one is called... - Save the Last Dance.
Okay.
- Save the Last Dance. There is no way
I would have ever guessed that.
- Save the Last Dance. It's just a good movie
that has a good balance between romance and then dancing.
It wasn't too much dancing. It wasn't too much romance.
It was just perfect for me.
- (FBE) This movie is about a ballet dancer
who quits dancing after her mom dies,
but she meets Sean Patrick Thomas' character
who teaches her some hip hop moves and encourages her
to apply to Juilliard. - Okay.
That sounds really cool, actually, like a movie that I probably
should have already seen.
- Oh, okay, that's cool. I like it when couples
bring each other together to be successful.
- Auditioning for Juilliard is a really big step
if you're a ballerina, and so the fact that she
also does hip hop. I wanna see what happens next.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you know this movie?
- Kevin Bacon. I feel like I've seen this
as a meme.
- I don't know. I can't put a name to this one.
What the heck? I don't know,
'cause honestly, I haven't seen a lot of Kevin Bacon movies.
- "He's a big city kid in a small town.
They said he'd never win. He knew he had to."
Okay.
- I know the premise. He comes to some area
that's super religious and their dancing is forbidden.
- I know this, 'cause I just watched
this version of it. It's the one where he's
in the town and they can't-- it's outlawed to be a dancer.
Don't tell me, wait, hold on. Footloose!
- This is Footloose.
- Oh, this is Footloose! Easy, easy.
I saw the one with Kevin Bacon. I saw the new version
with Julianne Hough. It's classic.
- (FBE) So, this one is called... - Footloose.
Oh, okay. I've heard of Footloose,
but I've never seen it at all.
- Footloose. I've never seen the movie,
but the song, my mom would always play it,
and she'd always answer it.
- Argh! No, it's Footloose.
Ugh, yeah. My mom's gonna be
very disappointed in me, 'cause she's a dancer
and she taught me everything I know
and this is one of the things I should know.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Do you recognize this movie poster?
- I don't know what this is.
- I don't know. I have no guess.
I have no idea. I don't know.
- Is this Hairspray?
- I'm gonna assume this is Hairspray.
- That's Hairspray. I've never seen it,
but I've always wanted to see it.
- This is Hairspray. I feel like most people
who are into theater, I feel like that's a must.
- Hairspray. This, as a little kid,
was one of my favorite musicals.
- I love Hairspray! That is my favorite musical
of all time. They teach you about
not judging a book by its cover, whether it's race, weight,
or hairstyle.
- (FBE) This is... - Hairspray.
Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed that. I've heard of Hairspray.
- I just saw the live musical one and my friend's dance teacher
was in it, so I watched it all with them
and it was so cute.
- As a little kid who was a dancer, seeing someone who was not
the size two, strict ballerina body, for me, was really important.
- The storyline is perfect. It's a great way to bring
racism as a topic to the screen, but then there's also
singing and dancing and it's like, "Wow.
I learned something while being entertained."
- (FBE) Nikki Blonsky, the girl who plays
the lead role, Tracy, actually found out that she
got the part while working at a Coldstone ice cream shop.
- Damn, look at that. She went from Coldstone
to being a movie star. That's cool.
- That's so exciting. That's such a turn of events.
It's like, you go from working this job that you really don't like
to doing something that you really love
and that's-- I feel like that's the best thing
that could ever happen to a person.
- Oh, wow. That's awesome.
I love stories like that, 'cause there's humble beginnings.
You can get discovered anywhere. Sometimes it doesn't even matter
who you are or where you are, it just matters what
you put into it.
- ♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (FBE) Last poster. Do you know this one?
- No. Jennifer Grey, Patrick--
no, I've never seen this before, but why do they look so familiar?
- This is Dirty Dancing.
- Dirty Dancing? I know that because of the guy.
- That one's Dirty Dancing, 'cause Patrick Swayze,
Jennifer Grey. I've seen that one.
- Dirty Dancing. There it goes.
The guy that played the leading guy,
he's from Ghost, right? Love him.
- Dirty Dancing. Another one of those movies
where I'm like, "Yeah, I'm gonna see it
and I need to see it." but I haven't yet.
- This is Dirty Dancing. I don't even know
if I've ever seen this. It's definitely a classic.
- Dirty Dancing. I've seen most of it.
It was a little while ago, but it was the camp love story
and it was a cute little thing and then they have
their iconic lift.
- (FBE) And this one is... - Dirty Dancing.
Oh my gosh, I should've got that.
I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it.
- I still haven't watched it. I feel like everyone I know
has talked about this movie.
- I just know my favorite scene in the movie
was the famous lift. It's one of my favorite movies.
I remember my mom showing it to me
and it was super sweet and I loved it.
- (FBE) Patrick Swayze actually had to convince
Jennifer Grey to be in this film because she had disliked him
so much when they were filming Red Dawn in 1984.
- Ha, I feel like if your coworker doesn't like you,
you should just leave it. You shouldn't really pressure them
to make it, but I guess it turned out
for the best, so...
- I think that's funny. It's just funny,
'cause they had really good chemistry on screen.
They did good. It made them big stars.
It got them big bucks.
- You know, you do have to remember
that these actors are not their characters
and might dislike them, so the fact that she did this
while not particularly fond of him, I think I give her even more props,
'cause I could not tell at all.
