The dance scene from UNCLE

One of my favorite movies in recent years is The Man From UNCLE, directed by Guy Ritchie. Based on the old 1960s TV series, the movie serves as an origin story of sorts, showing how Napoleon Solo (played here by Man of Steel's Henry Cavill) and Illya (Armie Hammer) first meet.

My favorite scene from the film is this one, the "dance" scene. Alicia Vikander (Tomb Raider) starts dancing to Solomon Burke's Cry To Me. She keeps trying to lure Illya into dancing with her, but the gruff KGB agent tries to avoid the decadent behavior as best he can.

It's a hysterically funny scene as they wind up wrestling on the floor. It helps for me that the gorgeous Vikander is barefoot throughout. The film overall is highly recommended as being a fun lark.
