What to Expect From Movie Night on 'Dancing with the Stars'
Who will be eliminated this week?
— -- Have your popcorn ready on Monday night, because "Dancing with the Stars" is going to the movies.
The 11 remaining couples will dance to songs from their favorite movies. Lea Thompson's most popular acting credit is Back to the Future, so it's no surprise that her performance will be inspired by the classic 1980s film. But she feels some of her other movies could have worked just as well.
Thompson tells ABC News Radio, "I do have a lot of movies that people really like. We could have done 'Some Kind of Wonderful,' or the controversial 'Red Dawn' with my Russian." She was referring to her pro partner, Artem Chigvintsev.

What else can you expect on Dancing with the Stars' "movie night"? Comedian Tommy Chong is planning a dance inspired by "Scent of a Woman," actress Janel Parrish is working on a jazz routine based on "West Side Story," and fashion designer Betsey Johnson will recreate a scene from Ghost.
An A-list movie star will be on hand to serve as a guest judge: Kevin Hart. Celebrity contestant Alfonso Ribeiro is looking forward to Hart's commentary, though he doesn't expect the "Ride Along" actor to critique each competitor's technique.
Ribeiro tells ABC News Radio, "I think what he's going to judge is the fun of it all, and probably what he sees from a fan point of view."
"Dancing with the Stars" airs on ABC at 8 p.m. Eastern time on ABC.
