Best song from a musical film ever

[RenoDakota]

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.
What are your favourites?

Doe a Deer from The Sound of Music.

Nothing can touch this IMO. So many fashion shoots have referenced it - it's completely iconic (and so very Christmassy!).

Secret love from Calamity Jane.

In fact all the songs from Calamity Jane. It's my fave.

And the classic gateway to musicals for young children.

I also love I Have Confidence in Me, Sixteen Going on Seventeen and the Lonely Goatherd. But I can do without TSOM itself, Climb Ev’ry Mountain and the dirge-fest Edelweiss.

Oh, also love So Long Farewell!

Another Suitcase in Another Hall - Evita
Take that look off your face - Tell me on a Sunday

Both from listening to my parents Andrew Lloyd Webber CD as a kid, over and over ... 😆

Secret Love from Calamity Jane
Tonight - West Side Story. Plus all the rest. Brilliant musical.

The Trolley Song from Meet Me in St Louis.

It's a Fine Life from Oliver

I love this one. As a kid I always ffd it, but when I watched it as an adult the lyrics hit me hard.
I also love seven brides for seven brothers, the barn raising is the best dance scene ever. I love Bless Your Beautiful hide, goin courting, sobbing women...but sound of music is my favourite and I'd have to go for climb every mountain. The lyrics make me think of devoting yourself to your dream even if your dream is something quite ordinary.

Sobbin’ Women from Seven Brides …..

Wait for it from Hamilton

With you from ghost

Past the point of no return phantom of the opera

There is no way I could pick a favourite.
I have read through all the replies on here and can agree that every single one of them is ‘my favourite’

Also really love Out Here On My Own, sung by Irene Cars in the original Fame film. Amazing!

Cara, not Cars! Stupid autocorrect.

Was coming on to say this too! ☝️

That's all I ask of you. Phantom of the opera

Come what May. Moulin rouge

All the songs from The greatest showman

Got to be "Put on your Sunday clothes" from Hello Dolly. Absolutely sublime.

...Followed by practically everything in The Music Man ❤

I used to love Seven Brides for Seven Brothers until I realised that The Sobbin’ Women” was about abduction and forced marriage by rape - and the plot of the movie shows the brothers thinking this is a fine idea, so they abduct young women too.

Sorry.

@nilsmousehammer agree Revolting Children from Matilda is excellent.

I love so many songs from musicals it’s hard to choose. My fave at the moment is Hopelessly Devoted To You from Grease.

So many brilliant tune on this thread

Seasons of Love from Rent

Show Yourself from Frozen II (underrated in my opinion)

From Now On from Greatest Showman

Secret Love - Calamity Jane.
Tonight - West Side Story

Good Morning Baltimore - Hairspray

Suddenly Seymour - Little Shop of Horrors

Defying gravity from wicked. Excellent

Carol Burnett "Little Girls" in Annie.

"Shiny" from Moana. Great lyrics.

Both songs make me smile.

West Side Story! All the songs really but if I had to choose I'd say Tonight when all the characters sing their own lines over the top of each other.
