I figured this would appear sooner or later. I like the sing-a-longs. Even though I’ve never seen the movie, l’m going to add [Say a Little Prayer](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUyFZUKo6u8) from **My Best Friend’s Wedding** ---

Every scene in which The Clash play on stage in [Rude Boy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude_Boy_%28film%29). But the best is the “Get off the fucking stage” moment. ---

I should mention the battle of the bands scene in _School of Rock_. Not the best song ever, but it’s the big payoff of that movie. ---

I have to say, if you liked the fictionalized Hollywood version, you should [see the real thing](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0436727/). Seeing _Rock School_ made me a huge fan of the program, and [a second career](http://www.youtube.com/user/midwestconcertvideo) shooting [video](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgqYfTwhEwg&feature=channel_video_title) of these [talented kids](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1x1WL7N0lZo).
