Musical Movie Scenes

If you can find any clips of your favorite musical scenes, post away!

Even if you've seen this one a hundred times it's still worth four minutes of your day:

big surprise that this would be my favorite. but it has historical value, as well as being very funny - it is the first time you actually hear charlie chaplin's tramp speak - well, sing - in modern times. he purposely did a nonsensical type song that wouldn't pin him down to any specific nationality. it also features chaplin's third wife, the gorgeous paulette goddard.

You can't improve on giants dancing to Jack Nitzsche





Edit: And no I'm not joking, I seriously love this number, damn you Tommy Kirk for interrupting it... I could listen to that hip/cool bass line all day

my man louis armstrong and danny kaye singing when the saints go marching in, in the 1959 movie, the five pennies. i can literally watch this clip over and over without tiring of it. unbelievable.


my favorite song from pink floyd's the wall - violent imagery, but i was usually too stoned to notice.


and while i'm at it, here's under the bamboo tree by judy garland and margaret o'brien from one of my favorite movies, meet me in st. louis. vamp!

Here are two from The 5000 Fingers of Dr T.
Campy and creepy, a great combination.
Dr Seuss!
Anyone else like this movie?

Little film from Japan "Linda, Linda, Linda" - I love how pale and nervous she looks, and then she rips into it.



And something cool from "Across the Universe"

Judging from those two clips that must be one weird-ass movie.

When that chorus gets unstuck in my head I'll replay it so it gets stuck again. Very cool.
Leenda! Leenda! Leenda! Leenda! Leenda Leenda Leendaaa--aa-aa!

Damn, they don't have Falling Slowly from "Once" - that would rank among my all time favorites.

But they did have Aimee Mann's Wise Up from Magnolia

Ran across this scene on an old recorded tape I haven't seen in forever.






And it reminded me of this:

(5:21 never fails to make me howl with laughter. The look on the wife's face is pricelss lol)

[Mighty Jack]

^Pssst, Shep... as much as I enjoy seeing Britt Ekland nekid, you might wanna put a NSFW tag on that one

Wow, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. I'm a big Sublime fan, not to mention Austin Powers, so I liked that movie before I even knew it existed.

This is a carry over from the 80s thread, the end credits from Buckaroo Banzai. I'm a sucker for good synth instrumentals. Wes Anderson would later do an homage for Life Aquatic, with Jeff Goldblum getting in on both marches.

[callipygias]

Though it isn't actually a scene from The Third Man, it's cool to see the greatest soundtrack ever played by the original guy. (The '50s voice-over only lasts a few seconds.)

[BJ]

Wow, thanks for that. I had no idea that theme was played by one man, incredible. As much as I love Citizen Kane, I've probably seen the Third Man twice as much. It's probably the best movie no one's ever watched.

oh, I could spend all day at this...






"Oh to be blessed with an instrument like that"---but seriously meant---or this guy's voice (he's one of my heroes for a hundred reasons more than the voice)



The first time I saw this "n--- work song," I laughed so hard I cried:



I'll stop now, but I really could go on all day
