Sigh. Movie sing-alongs. They are so good. When Top Gun was first out, if I wasn't head-over-heels for Tom Cruise already, his belting out of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" to Kelly McGillis would have sealed the deal.
And come on, who didn't want to run down to their local dive bar, take some shots and belt "Sweet Caroline" after that fantastic scene in Beautiful Girls? Also, I will never tire of the part in My Best Friend's Wedding when that gorgeous man, Rubert Everett, kicks off an all-restaurant sing-along to "Say A Little Prayer for You."
For me, sing-alongs can take a good scene and make it the best scene. They tap into that basic human desire to break into spontaneous song and dance when the mood strikes. OK, maybe that's just my basic desire.
So tell me, what's your favorite sing-along scene of all time?
After the jump, I just had to include the clip from My Best Friend's Wedding (note the people waving their lobster claw arms in the background toward the end!), so read more.

Dolce & Gabbana

None of the above. Best sing along in a movie ever has got to be the Tiny Dancer sequence in Almost Famous!
1rivrchild...was just going to post the same thing!...my fav ever!
2I love the Best Friend's Wedding one! The lobster hands always KILL me!!
3i love this scene in my best friends wedding!!
4That's what I was gonna say, too, Rivrchild! Now I will have to throw another excellent one into the ring: "Bohemian Rhapsody" car scene from Wayne's World.
5I love the scene in Wayne's World where they all sing "Bohemian Rhapsody" in the car & the sing-along to "Say A Little Prayer for You" in My Best Friend's Wedding. I can't think of any more right now...
6I'm with rivrchild...my favorite movie scene of all time! I didn't know how many other people loved it too!
7Um, I don't know if this counts, but I LOVE the My Sharona dance scene in Reality Bites.
8The boys in Remember the Titans is my favourite, I have to admit!!
9I agree with Bohemian Rhapsody and Tiny Dancer. I hate the song Sweet Caroline but still loved that scene in Beautiful Girls.
10The scene from My Best Friend's Wedding is probably my favorite. I also liked the part in 27 Dresses where they sing "Bennie and the Jets."
11I was going to say the same thing dannysf! I try to reenact that scene whenever I hear it, much to the embarrassment of anyone who's with me. XD
12Definitely Bohemian Rhapsody. It's so good, it's iconic!
13Definitely the scene from 27 Dresses where they sing "Bennie and the Jets." I just grin from ear to ear every time I watch that scene.
14My favorite was definitely Say a Little Prayer for You in My Best Friends Wedding, it just made the film even greater. Kate Marie I also loved that scene from 27 Dresses "Bennie and the Jets", I wanted to be there.
15I agree with Tiny Dancer from Almost Famous. I was just rewatching the movie this week.
16"The Sound of Music" - "Edelweiss"
17Silly one--Break free by Wilson Philips from Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. That whole scene just cracked me up.
18"You're...too big to fit in here. Too big to fit in heeere." Sweetest Thing. Gotta love it.
19Oh! Oh oh oh! David Spade and Chris Farley singing "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" in the car in Tommy Boy.
20Since Almost Famous is my favorite movie ever I'm going to have to go with that one. Plus it exemplifies how music can truly help you get through a tough situation and bring people back together. Although I do love the Bohemian Rhapsody scene from Wayne's World.
21Um, this isn't exactly the same, but I love it when Heath Ledger(R.I.P) sings 'Can't take my eyes off of you' as he's running across the bleachers in Ten Things I Hate About You. Classic.
22That is a good one i am awesomeness! And I add another vote for Tiny Dancer.
23I loved Wayne's World Bohemian Rhapsody! Also My Best Friend's Wedding sing along was great too!
24and well, it starts out as a sing along , but The Replacements I Will Survive when they are all dancing in the jail...that one is funny!
25I've always loved the " say a little pray for you" sing along, and I'm with faerymagick15 for the replacements: the dance is something ilarious!
26i always liked the scene from 'the sweetest thing' with cameron diaz and christina applegate when they sang the pina colda song, lol.
27tralaladdy I agree. I love that scene from harold and kumar! I also second all the Almost Famous posts, scenes like that in the movie makes me so nostalgic for a time I wasn't even alive in....haha
oh and Top Gun, so great. I wish I didn't hate Tom Cruise now.
28Tiny Dancer from Almost Famous
29Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World
Bennie and Jets from 27 Dresses
Yes, Heath Ledger singing "Can't Take My Eyes Off of You" in 10 Things I Hate About You. It's one of those scenes that makes me smile, when most sing-alongs make me roll my eyes.
I do also love the scene in My Best Friend's Wedding.
30fleufairy - omg...that was a great moment in the movie.
Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous is fabulous.
31I love the My best friend's wedding sing-a-long, i love the part when he's like "wonder what dress to wear now" it's funny as hell. bery good movie, julia roberts at her best. romantic comedy!!
32man i forgot how cute that was, when the whole restaurant starts singing. the guys on the piano so cute! the lobsters in the back. LOL why can't cool stuff like that happen in my life!!
33Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World and a very drunken Bennie and The Jets in 27 Dresses. Both are hysterical!
34The randomness of movies!
35I totally forgot about the Heath ledger 10 Things I Hate movie!!! I saw it the other day and for the first time ever...I cried watching it. I love that movie and that scene is great!!
36i was going to say the heat Ledger one, that's one of my favorites, or what about the one in stepmom where Julia Sings in the car with her Step - daughter though i can't remember the name of the song
37Bennie and the Jets!!! On 27 Dresses. I love that part. It actually made me have to buy the song on iTunes!!
38i agree with the stepmom comment! great sing-a-long scene with susan sarandon to "ain't no mountain high enough." what a great movie. here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BVbV0CzeyI.
39What about "all by myself" in Bridget Jone's Diary.Okay it is just one person and the radio but it's such a great been there done that scene.
40Bohemian Rhapsody from Wayne's World
41Say A Little Prayer from My Best Friends Wedding
Can't Take My Eyes Off of You from 10 Things I Hate About You
Waterloo from Muriel's Wedding (technically they're just mouthing the words but it's fun!)
Though Bohemian Rhapsody in Wayne's World was neat, for me the first thing that came to mind was..........
Pretty much any song from Rocky Horror Picture Show!!!
42Yeah, I'd have to go with Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous.
43Hands down the part in Anchorman where they sing "Sky Rocket in Flight".
44Oooo I forgot the part in 10 Things where Heath sings "Can't Take my Eyes off of you". I actually have that on my computer and listened to it when I found out he had died...definitely made me cry.
45The Big Chill- Everyone dancing and singing around the kitchen to "aint to proud to beg" by the temptations (this movie made me fall in love with kevin kline)
Hope Floats- Cant get next to you-by the temptations (woah, two temptation songs!) Its when Birdie and her mom and nephew sing to her daughter to cheer her up.
StepMom- Aint no mountain high enough
46hah yep Tiny Dancer from Almost Famous was def the first one i thought of!
47This one from My Best Friend's Wedding definitely tops my list, also the Bennie and the Jets from 27 Dresses- LOVED THAT!
All the good one's have been said- love the one from Bridget Jones! Caterpillar Girl- Stepmom is a great one!! Forgot about that!
Also Remember the Titans- "Ain't no mountain high enough"
Another good one I think is Britney Spears in Crossroads when she's dancing around in her underwear singing.
So many good one's!! Great post, Buzz!!
48Did anyone mention the scene from practical magic?
49where they all sing lime in the coconut from harry nillson.
