Supercut of dancing in ‘80s movies

If you grew up during the 1980s (or if, as in my case, have kids who did), you'll recognized most if not all of these - I don't think there was anything unfamiliar to me, and I was just around when these movies were playing on the VCR in the background. 

As is frequently the case, these supercuts make me want to watch a whole bunch of these films again. This compilation didn't come with a list of the movies included: I started to try to produce one but there are 80 clips (although lots of repeats, especially Footloose, Flashdance and Dirty Dancing), and I soon gave up. Some YouTube commenters also had partial lists, so I've cobbled together a list, below, that is both out of order and incomplete. Feel free to add more, if you recognize clips I've left out. 

Video editor Robert Jones:

Is Your Washroom Breeding Bolsheviks?

Great propaganda - look how mean and grumpy this guy has become because he doesn't have the right brand of paper towels.  He's obviously about to rise up against his employer in particular and capitalism in general.

This, of course, is still going on,...
