Infectious, fantastic musical numbers in movies

[Honeycombe8]

Joseph Gordon Levitt in 500 Days of Summer. This number was waaaaay too short, and thoroughly infectious. "The morning after."

[Ferrets are Cool]

1. My favorite one is

the ending theme from The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai-great toe tapping music!

[Honeycombe8]

2. Pretty good.

Never heard of that movie. I'm going to have to look that up. Lots of good actors there. Must be old...Jeff Goldblum looks young!

3. JGL is so talented!

Have you ever seen his HitRecord stuff? A lot of it is on YouTube.

[Honeycombe8]

4. No. I just saw him in 3rd Rock from Sun, and movie 500 Days of Summer.

That musical number in 500 Days blew me away...it was perfectly choreographed, the music was perfect, it was witty (they were all high fiving him - in his mind - for scoring Deschanel the night before), and he moves so well.

Oh, I forgot. I saw a HORRIBLE movie he was in and I think wrote it. Absolutely teenage vulgar trash...not good adult humor. Just a teen movie. It went straight to DVD after the release, I think.

Anchors Aweigh: Loved it! It was great! I'll look for others, if he has more.

5. Are you talking about Don Jon?

I loved it - LOL! It made $30M box office on a $3M budget, so it did okay. BTW, I'm 61.

6. Great credits - Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back

[Honeycombe8]

8. Good. I love a good music scene in almost any movie. It adds so much. nt

7. Nothing like an old-fashioned production number!

[Honeycombe8]

9. I remember that! I don't think I ever laughed so hard as when I saw that movie 1st time.

Dom DeLouise. Sweet, funny guy. "Great" musical production number!

10. Call me hopelessly sentimental, but..............

My whole life, I have envied the bass player on that track. Had to be the most fun since Noel Redidng joined Jimi Handrix.

[Honeycombe8]

13. Yep...I'd classify that one as infectious! Hard not to tap a toe while watching that! nt

[DFW]

11. And of course, for us southerners

[Honeycombe8]

14. I'll second that emotion on the first two! Esp Dueling Banjos!

One of the best musical numbers in a movie ever. Not so sure about that third one.

19. I always liked Levon Helm's vocals with "The Band"

I realize the rest of them were Canadian, but Helm's Arkansas twang colored every Band song that he sang on.

12. Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock

[Honeycombe8]

15. Yeah, that's a good one.

There are others in the movie Woodstock that I would choose over that one, I think. But that one is for sure infectious and exciting. There were MANY in Woodstock that were infectious and exciting. Awesome movie we'll never see the likes of again. Great choice, IMO.

[DFW]

18. Like you said, the movie Woodstock was awesome

As a guitar player, this one stood out to me, but "infectious and exciting" could just as easily apply to the performances of Richie Havens and Sly and the Family Stone.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

16. Two favorites:

[Honeycombe8]

20. Yeah! I esp love You Don't Own Me number...

in First Wives' Club. That was unexpected and a really good number! Love it! The song, what htey're wearing, the choreography...perfect.

17. Gene Kelly.."Singing in the Rain"&, "Good Morning" Debbie Reynolds , Gene, & Donald O Connor

21. "Good Mornin'" is infectious, for sure.

I'm retired now, but when I worked, on many days when I woke up, I'd sing that song to my pets while I made coffee and got ready for work. For real! Probably because my radio alarm station would play that song every morning at the same time. Put me in a good mood for the day.

I think Good Mornin' is more infectious than Singin' in the Rain, what with the tap dancing and the tune and Debbie Reynolds' voice and all.

22. Aretha in "The Blues Brothers"
