To start

The complexity of tango is one of the reasons of its popularity. The number of movies in which tango appears is impressing, there is no other dance that would be presented in so many and so many different types of films, commercials, performances of different types, books and finally songs.

I'll make a list of movies in which you can see tango, hear it or at least it's mentioned in some symbolical way. The Argentine cinema in not included in this list.
