Swing trend is all around

Surely not exhaustive, but it's already a good list of contemporary mainstream productions about swing music and swing dancing revisited.
The videos are from American, Canadian, French, Japanese and Swedish productions.
Some are less mainstream than others, I admit, but they still participate in the process of forming a mainstream representation of nowadays swing culture, which I'm interested in.

Missing :
apparently there is also some swing dancing/lindy hopping in a Simpson episode, in the movie "Au revoir Taipei" (2010), in the opening scene of "Mulholland Drive" (David Lynch, 2000), in the Cheerleaders movie "Bring it on"(2000)...
