“Strictly ballroom” is underrated beyond criminal levels. The movie is an absolute must-watch masterpiece….even those who don’t like dance movies will *love* it, trust me. ❤️❤️
And “Strictly ballrom” is Baz Luhrmann’s first movie….so no wonder he has elements from following movies…as they were inspired by it.

I fell in love with "Strictly Ballroom" when I was stationed over in Australia back in the early 90s. I try to watch it a couple of times a year and still get goosebumps. The same for "The Cutting Edge".

Clicked only for Strictly Ballroom. This movie is amazing.

[LucayaLife]

How do you tease a clip of "The Cutting Edge" and then not include it in the list?! 😂 Just watched it for the first time recently and fell in love with it. Doug and Kate are so cute together, the actors have amazing chemistry.

I grew up watching Strictly Ballroom and I'm shocked when people don't even know what it is. It's glorious.

"The Decoy Bride" is such a great little movie. I've never understood how it didn't become more well known. It's fun and sweet, and the acting is good. Nice to see it here

Strictly Ballroom is one of my favorite movies of all time! So criminally underrated!

[michellestratford]

I love Muriel's Wedding too. It's obscure, but quite lovely❤️

“ONLY YOU” IS ONE OF THE BEST 90’s ROMCOMS EVER MADE. Dammit it even ends with a Michael Bolton song! I think it deserves a place on the list instead of an honorable mention. RDJ and Marisa Tomei are the best. Bonnie Hunt also just helps make this movie brilliant too.

[rebeccagoris]

I love so many of these! The dance scene to “Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps” in StrictlyBallroom is one of the best dance scenes in a movie, ever.

I can assure you that, in Australia at the very least, "Strictly Ballroom" absolutely and already IS a romcom classic.

Love that "Strictly Ballroom" is number one. It totally deserves it. The story is endearing and the dancing is amazing. Paul is a fabulous dancer and for a non-dancer before making this movie Tara is perfect. It is a love story that is about really growing together in love through their dancing. (Not lust which is what DD is about.)The most romantic dance sequence ever filmed is when they dance to "Perhaps". The second best sequence in the film is when they learn to dance from her father. The whole film is a joy to watch. "To live in fear is a life half lived. " (Also enjoy An American President and Crossing Delancey but Strictly wins hands down.)

I’m sorry, but “deserves “ to be classics. The American President and Strictly Ballroom are two of my all time most watched movies! They just plain *are* classics!

[gigibautista]

Strictly ballroom is SEVERELY UNDERRATED❤🔥

[rcaraway]

Why not mention that Down with Love is an great parody of 60’s Rock Hudson Doris Day comedies.

[trinaq]

I adore the "American President", Michael Douglas and Annette Bening had such undeniable chemistry, and it deserves to be more well known! 💖👫💘

[muffassa]

I loved all of the movies, but Strictly Ballroom is my favorite. So good I never get tired of it.

[agenttheater]

I'm just glad that 'Down With Love' is finally getting some more recognition. If anyone here is worried that Barbara Novac's stand against the patriarchy is undermined by love, rest assured, that doesn't happen.

[celtichorsewoman]

Me too! Clicked the link to see where you put Strictly Ballroom on this list. It is fabulous, and is also a satirical look at dance romances of the past. Crossing Delancey is a sweet choice from the past. Down With Love is also a great satire of Doris Day films. BRAVO on this LIST!

[jonhinson]

"Crossing Delaney" is fantastic and I cannot understand why no one knows about this gem of a movie.
