This counts...right?

If I were to consider "Immigrant Song" in a scene it would be for its use in Thor: Ragnarok rather than for its use in School of Rock.

I'm going to assume I'm likely older than you. If I were to opt for a musical a scene from School of Rock it would be the "My Brain is Hanging Upside Down" montage simply because a Ramones fan can't help being a Ramones fan.

Do you have a particular scene(s) you would like to be featured in the poll?

The movie is too old to have clips that I can find, but the transition from Spring to Summer following a fallen leaf to the waters of the Caribbean is fantastic. Also, the Winter ski-jumping scene.

Not a feature but it is well done: Rossini's overture to The Barber of Seville in "The Rabbit of Seville". I figured we already included Wagner.

I don't think my OP ruled out theatrical shorts. Anyways get out of my head, I am considering either What's Opera, Doc? or Rabbit of Seville. I think Rabbit is better but Opera has a Magic Helmet. Who am I kidding, I'll probably include both.

Muck's Soundtrack Tourney is wrapping up so get your noms in!! Started trying to put the whole thing together last night and it more work than I expected so you likely have a few days after the end of the soundtrack tournament to add any ideas but don't procrastinate too long.

No one has said Barry Lyndon yet?



Schubert's piano trio in E flat is the perfect song for this scene.



And the ending scene with a variation of the song.



And Handel's Sarabande just drives it home.



And just for kicks, the British Grenadiers on drum and fife!

Another favorite of mine.... Mozart in "Out of Africa"



This youtube appears to be a combination of several scenes from Out of Africa. Do you happen to recall which scene in which this piece of music was used?

Final bump for nominations. Probably start the poll Monday morning or possibly Sunday night.
