10 Greatest Unexpected Dance Scenes In Film

4. Tropic Thunder

les-grossman-tropic thunder-danterants-blogspot-com It's Tom Cruise again; only this time he's bigger, better and without a Bob Seger record in sight. And as Tropic Thunder's slimy studio executive Les Grossman, not only is this one of the actor's more memorable roles but it's also one of the few supporting characters who truly deserve their own spin-off. Why? Have you seen the guy dance? It's the most disturbing- yet seductive- thing you'll ever see. As he throws some rather aggressive shapes to Ludacris' 'Get Back' during the closing credits, we're by turns impressed and intimidated. Either way, it's impossible to draw our eyes away. Think back to Frank Mackey in Magnolia. Now imagine him balding, overweight and almost overladen with cocksure swagger. You could watch that for hours, couldn't you? In fact, you probably already have.
