Im telling you im not going-dreamgirls(jaw dropping)
A few scenes in Rent but the one shot that was amazing was when the camera followed dawsons arm in to the air and went over her to roger who was on the balcony in Another Day(great camera work and lifted the moment so high)

In the movie Cairo, Robert Young asks Jeanette MacDonald if she's ever been to San Francisco- "Yes! Once, with Gable and Tracy, and the joint fell apart!"
I laugh every time. Pretty corny joke, but it never fails to make me laugh.
Also, though it could be argued that it's the worst big budget musical ever made, Jeanette's vamp scene in I Married An Angel is definitely worth the price I paid for it.

I love the moment in Chicago when Velma snaps her head in time to All the Jazz to get her sister's spotlight too. CZJ was by far my favorite in that movie. I also love Razzle Dazzle.
If we're including disney movies, Be Our Guest is grand

Posted: 4/20/07 at 2:19pmFor me it has to be Somewhere over the Rainbow. One of the most beloved anthems ever written for the screen. The scene is so simple yet with Judy's fantastic voice and full realization of a lonely character wanting more, it becomes an extravegent piece of cinematic art. I get chills everytime I see it. Also the impact that the song has had over the years is mind-blowing. To think the song was almost cut from the final film.

I'll have to start paying more attention to vintage 70s porn...
