Guardians of the Galaxy (2014) – Baby Groot Dancing
This extremely popular post-credit scene is most likely the cutest of all 26. This scene offers no teasers to new movies, no allusions to future issues and no possible character conflict. All it does offer is an extremely entertaining video of Baby Groot dancing to I Want You Back by the Jackson 5.
The best part about this scene is Drax cleaning his knife in the background and every time he looks at Groot dancing, Groot freezes until Drax looks away again. This plays directly into the fun and entertaining feel of the entire Guardians of the Galaxy film.

Arguably, this scene could foreshadow the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 where Groot spends nearly the entire duration of the battle dancing to Mr. Blue Sky by Electric Light Orchestra (inspired by director James Gunn’s dancing); especially since he freezes when Drax falls near him and sees him dancing.
