I am just watching Mary Poppins for the umpteenth time. Have always thought that Sister Suffragette is the cleverest and funniest and most brilliant song ever.

I'm currently loving Unredeemable from Spirited (especially the Nickelback cover of it).

Anatevka, from Fiddler on the Roof.

She used to be mine from The Waitress…look it up on YouTube and tell me I’m wrong if you’re not in tears by the end!

I like Music to my eyes from Star is Born.

And Proclaimers Sunshine on Leith, but I think the song came first.

And nearly all of those already mentioned.

I love musicals.

There are worse things I could do from Grease.
Hushabye Mountain & Chu Chi Face. I sang the first to Ds as a baby as a lullaby, the other is me and dh 🤣
Evergreen by Barbra Streisand
Somewhere over the rainbow
A million dreams
I watched Mary Poppins today and it makes me v emotional. Saving Mr Banks made me see it v differently.

Love on the rocks & Hello Again - The Jazz Singer

Yes - I need to grow up!

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 26/12/2022 19:08

Another +1 for 'Sister Suffragette'. I watched that film with DC only a week ago and this struck me at the time: a real undersung gem.

big bottom from Spinal Tap; ha yes, INSPIRED lyrics and 'Stonehenge' is an absolute hoot as well.

And everything Doris Day has ever done. Agree with 'Black Hills of Dakota', and I love 'Windy City', but from Calam 'Secret Love' was her absolute standout. There has never been an actress like her (although I do love Julie Andrews too).

Also in 'Young at Heart' with Day and Frank Sinatra, his version of 'One for the Road' is simply beautiful.

Wheredoallthepensgo · 26/12/2022 19:11

Love loads of these but Never Enough from Greatest Showman gives me the chills every time, what an incredible voice and such vocal control.

Came along to name Sister Suffragette as my all time favourite.

The lyric "though we adore men individually, we agree, that as a group, they're rather stupid" still holds up 60 years after the movie was produced.

Saving Mr Banks is a brilliant film. So well done.

Seen it twice in the West End, once sung by Katherine McPhee, once by Sara Bareillles herself. Wonderful.

nilsmousehammer · 26/12/2022 19:24

So many of these!

I know where I've been from the film of Hairspray, fabulously sung by Queen Latifah (and Mama I'm a big girl now, another undervalued gem)

Revolting Children from Matilda (most of the lyrics of that are understatedly clever)

They call the wind Maria from Paint Your Wagon (most of the songs from Paint Your Wagon)

Rocking the Boat and Only Doing It For Some Doll from Guys and Dolls

We Know The Way from Moana and Show Yourself from Frozen 2 - Disney's come out with some great songs in the past few years.

TerraNostra · 26/12/2022 19:29

I have a soft spot for All That Jazz from Chicago.

Also second the suggestion of Rhythm of Life from Sweet Charity made earlier. The performance of that song in the film is so brilliantly surreal.

JulesJules · 26/12/2022 19:37

The whole soundtrack of Les Mis, but especially One Day More.
And I love all the music in Moana. My favourite musical ever though (stage and film) is Guys and Dolls, every song is brilliant

dudsville · 26/12/2022 19:41

Meryl streep singing winner takes it all.

This is me in the greatest showman

Riverlee · 26/12/2022 19:44

Can’t believe no one has said “Bare Necessities’ from Jungle Book.

If you include stage musicals, then “Colours of my life” from Barnum.

Riverlee · 26/12/2022 19:45

And yes to Guys and Dolls, - Luck be a Lady
