We all know this scene, which started a trend. I am sure the ladies will appreciate.

An all times favourite. Mel Brooks puts together a masterpiece of comedy and Gene Wilder is unforgettable.

If you attended university, you aimed for this kind of party. This is a point of reference, a masterpiece, a model to follow. Below an excerpt of the event planning process.

3. The best twist contest – Pulp Fiction (1994)

Well deserved first prize for Uma and John, under the amazing direction of Tarantino.

2. The best dance night – The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

Great passion and energy in this scene. Youtube flags it as adult material, but I ensure you it is nothing you won’t see at lunchtime on Italian TV.

1. The best walk off – Zoolander (2001)

I still cry from laughing when I see this. Great inspiration for Donatella Versace, Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana.
