We can't believe we even have to ask, but Stuff Magazine has compiled their 10 Most Uncomfortable Movie Dance Scenes, and coming in on or around number three or seven (they didn't rank the scenes within the list) is Heath Ledger dancing to David Bowie's "Golden Years" in A Knight's Tale (2001). We have to take issue with this one. That scene made us fall in love with Heath Ledger. Maybe it had something to do with the Bowie song (we have been known to dance around in our underwear to "Golden Years" and had it been Michael Jackson, we might have felt differently). The idea of Bowie-Ledger combination was almost too much for our super-charged, 19-year-old hormones to handle.
Sure, Heath's character is supposed to be a little uncomfortable in this scene because he doesn't know how to dance. But he pulls it together quite well in the end, and it hardly compares to the disaster that is Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo dancing to "Thriller" in 13 Going on 30.

I agree! More hot than not, anyway. Sure, it shouldn't go in the top 10 most COMFORTABLE movie dance scenes, but ... Bowie! Ledger! And if I remember right, there was that scene leading up to it where Paul Bettany proves that not even getting punched in the face (repeatedly!) can stop him from smartassing around. That's got to be worth something, right?
