I love these types of videos. Especially when they’re well-edited.

I know fuck-all about old movies, but [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M1F0lBnsnkE) is pretty damn cool. I couldn’t identify all of the movies. I barely knew any.

How many can you name without cheating? Turn on the subtitles to see how many you know.

Wow. That was so fun! That’s entertainment! 😉

Loved so much Fred. The Nicholas Brothers with their amazing tap and those pre-James Brown drops into the splits - damn.

Thanks!

That is great! I could name a few! I didn’t see any Wizard of Oz, though, it would’ve fit well in there  
.Really cool!
