Top 10 Memorable Musical Numbers from Classic Hollywood Movies

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
we re looking at the most iconic musical numbers from movies released during the Classic Hollywood era. Our countdown includes scenes from movies The Sound of Music, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Summer Stock and more! Did your favorite musical number make the list? Sound off in the comments! All good choices, but the Casablanca scene should be #1. None of the other songs influenced the film in such an important way. Given this criteria, I'd put America second and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas third. Good to see Judy Garland with (only) three songs -- you could easily include The Trolly Song and several others. I think Judy Garland was the #1 entertainer of the 20th Century. And you could have included Stormy Weather sung by Lena Horne while you were at it.

At 1: 21, you showed a clip from Casablanca of a beautiful young woman tearfully proclaiming Viva La France! at the end of La Marseillaise. That woman is Madeleine Lebeau. She played Yvonne, a girl spurned by Humphrey Bogart's Rick Blaine. She doesn't take it very well and later starts dating a Nazi. Madeleine was only 19 when she was in Casablanca, and was the last person with a credited role in the film to die. She passed away in Spain at the age of 92 in 2016. It was only when she passed away that I knew how young she was when Casablanca was released; I thought she was older. She wasn't the youngest cast member, but she outlived her younger castmate, Joy Page.

I m honestly glad Julie Andrews did not reprise her role as Eliza Doolittle in the film adaptation of My Fair Lady so she could make her feature film debut as Mary Poppins. I m sorry, but I cannot imagine anyone else playing the original Mary Poppins but Andrews and whoever would ve played her if Julie did reprise her role as Eliza Doolittle and make her film debut in that role instead wouldn t have made Mary Poppins such a pop culture icon as she did.

My wife is a huge Judy Garland fan and was so happy to see her so many times on this list, especially when as we were watching this the clock hit midnight and we went into Christmas Day in the UK during Somewhere Over The Rainbow - a true classic and one which (I am reliably informed) Judy usually sang to her children on Christmas Eve, according to her Christmas Special

Rest in peace, Judy Garland. It's heartbreaking that she endured such a tragic life in Hollywood, being forced into show business at a young age, and dying at just 47 years old.

Julie Andrews twice and Judy Garland three times says a lot about the classical musicals. Weird lack of men on this list though, except Gene Kelly of course.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow and Diamonds Are a Girl s Best Friend as both of those songs have been covered by many artists decades after their initial releases.

A lot of these are 100% memorable all right. What about these though:
. Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
