1. Bob Fosse's early choreography ... but specifically 'Kiss Me Kate'
2. Cyd Charisse/Gene Kelley - Singin' in the Rain "Broadway Melody"
3. Cyd Charisse/Fred Astaire - The Bandwagon "Dancing in the Dark"
4. Frank Sinatra - Pal Joey "The Lady is a Tramp"
5. 'performance' of "Ol Man River" by Caleb Peterson and MGM chorus- 'Till the Clouds Roll By'

there are, obviously so many left unsaid... virginia o'brien, donald o'connor, vera ellen, buddy ebsen, eleanor powell, ann miller, sinatra, crosby, jane russell, jane powell, and on and on the list could go. but i suppose when you must categorize genius, moments spring to mind, and i'm sure it's different for everyone.

I think if we are talking beautiful and moving you have to include the close up of the rose in Gene Kelly's hand in the end of the dream sequence of American in Paris. Beautiful, hauntingly emotional and just plain great!

Ann Miller's "Too Darn Hot" number from KISS ME KATE. Sizzling......Lena Horne's rendition of "Love" from ZIEGFELD FOLLIES.

One of my favorite moments is Gene Kelly and Vera-Ellen dancing to "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" from "Words and Music." What a team!

Everything mentioned is good. Just for dance merit, I love popping in anything by Fosse or Robbins, so "Steam Heat" from The Pajama Game, "Cool", the Prologue, the Dance at the Gym, and "America" in West Side Story, and the bottle dance from Fiddler on the Roof. Goosebumps every time.

For older movies, my #1 = "Moses Supposes" from Singin' in the Rain. I adore this dance!

I applaud your '30s and '40s choices. Not so much, your '50s ad '60s choices.
