Masquerade

Helena - Dream
Calling LJ Braintrust!

I'm looking for video files (youtube works!) of movie scenes with masquerade balls. I'm having a Masquerade Ball this halloween, and I'd like to cut together a bunch of scenes to play on all the tv's / projector screen.

I've so far got:

Labyrinth (obviously!)
Van Helsing (probably the best part of that movie!)
Amadeus
Romeo + Juliet (both human versions and the anime version)
Black Orpheus
Doctor Who - Girl in the Fireplace
Masque of the Red Death
Mirror Mask
Tanz der Vampire
The Tudors
Oh! And Phantom of the Opera


Any other ideas? If you can't find a youtube vid to post a link, just post the name of the film and I'll track it down. I have GoogleFu.

I forgot to add Phantom. Marie Antoinette has a masquerade scene? Cool! The new one, right? With Kirsten Dunst?

See, I thought of that, but I couldn't remember if they had a party/ball scene or not. I'll check into it. Thanks!

With masks? I don't remember that!

Clearly I need to watch it again. I keep meaning to look for it on Bluray.

Its the scene where Mrs. Lovett is singing "Poor Girl." Remember how Sweeney's wife gets lured to Turpin's house and there is a ball going on?

Do they wear masks in the Capote one? I don't think they do in Firefly, I think its just a fancy party.

movies and music videos too?
Only movie I can add is Ridicule (also on Wikipedia); it has a masquerade ball towards the end (IIRC).

There might be music videos, too:

Berlin - Pleasure Victim - "Masquerade"

I vaguely recall Siouxsie and the Banshees having a song with "masquerade" prominent in the lyrics, but I can't find it now.

Xymox has a song called "Masquerade".

Re: movies and music videos too?
Awesome. And I'm thinking Spellbound, but I think its more of a feeling of a child sneaking into a masquerade, and doesn't actually mention it. Or maybe there's another.

Thanks for the music suggestions! And thanks for Ridicule, I'll look into it!

BBC's Casanova. With David Tennant and Peter O'Toole. I don't remember if it was a masquerade, but some truly beautiful dance scenes.

I was looking through clips the other night, cause I couldn't remember either. I definitely didn't see a masquerade, but I could always use a few of the far away dance scenes. :)

Oh. Duh. You mention Amadeus in the post. It's that attention to detail that I love in myself.
