Shall We Dance? (1998) - Director: Masayuki Suo.  Leading Roles: Koji Yakusyo, Tamiyo Kusakari.

After viewing the Japanese version of Shall We Dance? I thought that it can't be topped.  Then I saw the American version directed by Peter Chelsom (2004).  The music and choreography were far superior.  Richard Gere mastered the elegance of Ballroom dance and his rendition of a man revived by dancing is superb.  Jennifer Lopez adds spice with her sensuality, and Stanley Tucci gives a spellbinding performance.  I.A.
