Thread Name: Top musical number in film
Subject: RE: Top musical number in film
A great thread! There are so many wonderful musical moments in film.............and here's an area where we agree MtheGM. Starting with your opening post I think I have agreed with all of the selections.   I think we can nominate hundreds but may never agree on a "top" number....that's the worst thing about these lists.

Personally, I loved every minute of a Marx Brothers film but I still enjoy Chico and Harpo equally to the humor. Groucho, a musically talented man himself. hated the piano and harp interludes.

Adding a bit to the Cagney post.........Jimmy was an entirely different dancer than anyone else of his time and watching "Yankee Doodle Dandy" should be mandatory to fill the "block of cultural knowledge" that we should have.

Dancers? Can't leave out "White Nights".........Mikhail Barishnikov and the late Gregory Hines in one movie........fantastic!
