Greatest Musical Moments in Film

“That was Mozart.”

I always thought the “Hallelujah” sequence in Shrek was really brilliant. I must have replayed that scene a hundred times when the DVD first came out.

Les Marseilles. Need I mention the movie?

The first moments of A Hard Day’s Night. The Chord.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story has lots of 'em.

This scene makes me a little weepy.

Also, I like the not-terribly-well-sung, not terribly-well-played acoustic version of Moon River by Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Her skills might not have been top-notch, but boy, could you feel what she was feeling when she sang that song.

I love Dean Stockwell because he’s suave (not necessarily SFW).

What’s opera doc

No. And I agree.

Now I have to watch the whole movie. Pretty powerful scene.

“This part…doesn’t really work does it…”

non nobis domine from Henry V by Patrick Doyle. The music underlying the “we few, we happy few” speech is pretty good too.

This.

Previously it had been sort of a tie between Motherless Child by Paul Robison and the Red Army Choir and Orchestra doing Polyushka Polye.

I have to admit I also really like Huun Huur Tu singing Chira Xur.

Ferris Bueller – Twist & Shout (Beatles)

I’ve always loved the scene in Zulu when the British soldiers respond to the Zulus’ war song with a rendition of Men of Harlech.

This. Visual and musical perfection.

The closing numbers from Dr. Strangelove and from Monty Python’s Life of Brian.

Maybe it’s just the context, but I love this scene from the end of Sunset Strip.

Lonette McKee as a fictionalized version of Lena Horne singing Ill Wind in The Cotton Club. Amazing vocal performance.

I can’t find a link, but Kay Starr’s Wheel of Fortune in LA Confidential.

Rebekah del Rio performing “Llorando (Crying)” in Mulholland Drive.
