    Terminator 2, with buff Linda Hamilton

    and

    This sounds really weird, but Black Swan. The scrawniness of the actresses grosses me out, but their beautiful dancing inspires me.

    Into the blue...they are all tanned and toned..Jessica Alba has an amazing body..and Paul Walker rarely wears a shirt...that does it for me.

    I couldn't agree more!!

    Die Hard.

    Really, Bruce Willis was in shape and still carried an air of ordinary-guy-does-amazing-things. Not that I'm planning on being prepared for the next hostage takeover at my company Christmas party, but I'd like to feel as if I can take on anything unexpected.

    Generally dance movies. I watch Step Up or Center Stage and I think: wow I really need to take more dance classes!

    Oh and Kill Bill. And Tomb Raider.

    Agreed! I'm not super proud that I watch dance movies from time to time but they always make me want to get off my *kitten* and shake it lol.

    Have to add "Shall We Dance" in there too! (I'm actually going to take a ballroom dance class next quarter that focuses on the waltz & foxtrot) Always wanted to learn how to ballroom dance.. and J.Lo. is absolutely gorgeous! (big bums ftw!)

    I haven't seen that one. But I definitely aspire to dancers legs. Ok not the people with really skinny ones. But the ones with the thick toned ones...which is totally a better match with my own body type.
