Matthew B. Great musical movie scenes (145* d) RE: Great musical movie scenes 20 Jun 99


Penny, thanks for reminding me of the power of the musical score in Witness, one of my top-ten all time movies, period. (Maybe I should start a thread about that.)

And thank you, Mary, for reminding me of the "Amen" scene in Lillies of the Field. Speaking about Goyish religious moments that even I (as a "nice" Jewish boy) could enjoy, there's a scene in the Shirley Temple version of Heidi where they begin to sing Silent Night, which suddenly breaks in midsong (with an inspiring upwards key change) into the same song being sung out on the street, and then back again to them, creating a montage of temporary unity between people, united by this common feeling.

And now from the sacred to the profane. Kat, I thought I was the only person in the world who saw The First Nudie Musical and enjoyed it for its musical merits. (Do you think Cindy whatsername had all the copies destroyed?) Do you remember when they hired that "Stunt Cock?"
