What's your favorite Musical-related scene in a film?

I'm not talking about an entire film, but one scene in a musical or non-musical film that stood out.

I have a couple which come to mind, for me.

The "Tango De Roxanne" number from "Moulan Rouge"
The Hanging Scene from "Dancer in the Dark"
The Finale from "Hedwig and the Angry Inch"
and "Cuban Pete" from "The Mask" (Just for Nostaligic reasons"

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life" Life of Brian

Balaniki · 07-30-2003, 03:28 PM

#1 - Gene Kelly's rain dance in Singing in the Rain.

#2 - Gene Kelly & Donald O'Connor doing the Moses Supposes His Toeses are Roses dance

All time best line is from the same movie: Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont - "Why I make more money than Calvin Coolidge put ta-gether."

Magnolia, where the whole cast start to mouth along to "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann. So spontaneous, and so perfectly well timed....it works! Musical interludes in serious films never work!

Fagabeefe · 07-30-2003, 04:06 PM

Meatloaf doing "Hot Patootie" in Rocky Horror...

CLASSIC baby!

"Every Sperm is Sacred" - Meaning of Life

shred_head · 07-30-2003, 08:58 PM

The "Tiny Dancer" scene in Almost Famous.
And the duel scene in Crossroads, but that might just be because I'm a Steve Vai fanatic.

Jesus Malverde · 07-31-2003, 12:39 AM

This is from a non musical movie, but the scene worked really well with the music and there wasn't too much dialogue. Its the climax scene from Requiem for a Dream, when the lives of all the main characters are getting fucked to hell. The song, Lux Aeterna, really got my emotions going for those three minutes or so.

djtestudo · 07-31-2003, 10:35 PM

The Inquisition scene from History of the World, Part I

The scene in Billy Madison where Adam Sandler sings is a classic...seen it a dozen times and still laugh my ass off at it.

punkgrl1984 · 08-01-2003, 09:07 PM

I love the scene in My best friends wedding where everyone starts singing.
Also Make em laugh from singing in the rain
Lastly Cell block Tango from Chicago a new one but I love the dancing

StormBerlin · 08-01-2003, 09:53 PM

The scene in Charly and the Chocolate Factopry with everyone in the tunnel and Spinach_Indeed's avatar starts singing (sorry, I can't remember his name). It's really creepy. Then they show the bugs....ewww...

hambone · 08-02-2003, 12:58 AM

Any Monty Python song.

Also that love medly in Moulin Rouge. I thought that was creative.

RemyLebeau97 · 08-07-2003, 11:10 PM

"Love Stinks" The Wedding Singer

h2g2Fan · 08-07-2003, 11:14 PM

tom cruise singing you've lost that loving feeling from top gun
bar scene from chasing amy

mystmarimatt · 08-08-2003, 05:24 PM

"El Tango De Roxanne" from Moulin Rouge. dear God, probably one of the most searingly beautiful scenes ever shot, and the version of the song is just incredible. we use to listen to that before we'dd go out onstage for a show, it got us all pumped up.

lalalapi · 08-08-2003, 05:52 PM

It seems that most of my favorites have already been listed, except for, well, Malcolm McDowell's rendition of Gene Kelly's rain dance in <i>A Clockwork Orange</i>, not so much for its pleasantry as its terrorfyingly sardonic satire.

Spektr · 08-08-2003, 06:37 PM

"Wise Up" in Magnolia and "My Song" in Moulin Rouge

Speed_Gibson · 08-08-2003, 07:34 PM

I would say at least of half of the music scenes in High Society - with that first (only?) movie duet of Sinatra and Crosby placing very high on my list of favourites.

Also love the songs from the Road films when Bob Hope and Bing Crosby sing together or Bing sings to Dorothy Lamour
