movies that feature musical numbers — Page 3

To Have and Have Not has Hoagy Carmichael singing "Am I Blue" and Lauren Bacall singing "How Little We Know."

Bacall also has a number in The Big Sleep.

Why they let her sing, I'll never know, but they're still two of my favorite movies.

The Risky Business scene is to "Old Time Rock N Roll."

I can't believe I forgot 2gether! Genius. I still have both of their CDs in my car.

"Michael" - starring John Travolta and Andie MacDowell and directed by Nora Ephron. They have a lot of musical numbers in this. John Travolta is hoofing it up like always, dancing to "Chain of Fools", and Andie MacDowell shows a surprisingly beautiful voice as she sings the country-tinged ballad with tongue-in-cheek lyrics called "Sittin' By The Side Of The Road".

The bridge goes "Miles made me smile 'til he stole my Camaro
Ralph made me laugh 'til I cried
And Bradley, oh, I loved him madly
But his tires were bald, and they went flat
So did our love, and that was that..."

Has anyone seen "Les Choristes (The Chorus)" yet? I heard some of the music and it sounds so beautiful. Love all the delicate strings, piano and reeds mixed with the boys' chorus.

I don't know if anyone has heard of the 1999 Film "Dick" with Michelle Williams and Kirsten Dunst, but when they give them the Hello Dollies with the pot in them Nixon and his advisors break out into the song Hello Dolly.

What a hoot!

Hate to admit it, but FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY had some great numbers.
Okay, hate mail is just beginning to come in droves... Help.

There's an awful lot of singing in the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus" since it is ABOUT music.

Sorry. How could I forget "We're Knights of the Round Table," "Brave Sir Robin," and of course, the song that was NOT listed on the Spamalot playbill, "He's Going To Tell"?!

There was also "Life of Brian" which spawned "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life".

And of course, "The Meaning Of Life" which had a lot on the Python's hitlist, like my two faves, "Every Sperm is Sacred" and "The Galaxy Song". Even their song "Christmas in Heaven" is rather catchy.
