Ok - so a very specific question!
But watching Jesus Christ Superstar (the 70s film) and I have to nominate this:

Simon Zealotes

It's just got so much energy and passion.

I can think of some others - but am sure people will nominate them. Maybe something from A Chorus Line?

Saturday Night Fever.

The golden oldies- Singin' in the Rain and New York, New York. And Good Morning.

See - I love Singing in the Rain when he is dancing in the rain- but I get a bit bored with the 'big number' in that which is the Hollywood dance number.

'Let's hear it for the boy' in Footloose.

No contest.

America in West Side Story eould get my vote.

dodobookends · 03/05/2020 21:46

Singin' in the rain - Morecambe and Wise version.

I also nominate their versions of 'The Stripper' and 'There is nothing like a dame' - inspired Grin

I always loved this scene from White Knights

Sorry OP Jcs is my favourite musical, saw it back in the 70s and twice since at the theatre and it blew me away but i cant stand that film huge disappointment when i first saw it.
I also love opening of West Side Story and Shall We Dance in a King and I,

I also love opening of West Side Story

It's great. Just tried to get DS to watch it - but he struggles with the idea of musicals and then to tell him it's got gangs doing ballet in the streets of New York just threw him Grin

Anything Doris Day but especially calamity Jane

The barn raising in Seven Brides for Sevrn Brothers.

Not the best ever but the best in the last twenty years or so. ‘No Dames’ in Hail Caesar - I finally found the point of Channing Tatum which had eluded me before.

I watched singing in the rain recently it’s glorious

'500 miles' at the end of 'Sunshine on Leith'. Starts off funny and ends in unadulterated joy. Keeps me singing for days afterwards.

Pinkarsedfly · 03/05/2020 22:16

Ann Miller killing it

Op that's fabulous, I've only seen clips from the film but the actual jesus song is utterly fab too. Grin

So many, the fosse, sweet charity are exceptional, rich man's frug, big spender.

500 Days of Summer, the Hall & Oats song the morning after they hook up.

Pinkarsedfly · 03/05/2020 22:21

These guys...

RedWillowWreckless · 03/05/2020 22:24

I agree with 500 Miles from Sunshine on Leith.

The Bollywood numbers in Bride and Prejudice.

The barn scene in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
