On the eve of the Asbury Park Music In Film Festival, I was thinking about classic fun musical movie moments. Here are a list of 10 of my faves:
THAT THING YOU DO: The Wonders hear themselves on the radio for the first time
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW: The first appearance of Dr. Frank N. Furter
PRETTY IN PINK: Duckie lip syncs “Try A Little Tenderness”
A HARD DAY’S NIGHT: The Beatles escape from the TV studio
THE BLUES BROTHERS: Aretha sings “Think” in the diner
FERRIS BUELLER’S DAY OFF: Ferris sings “Twist & Shout” in the parade
THIS IS SPINAL TAP: Stonehenge
ROCK N ROLL HIGH SCHOOL: the Ramones perform the title song
GREAT BALLS OF FIRE: Jerry Lee picks Myra ups from school
BACK TO THE FUTURE: Marty McFly invents rock and roll
Hope you have as much fun watching them as I did compiling them. Let me know what are your favorites, and good luck to the new Music In Film Festival!
