Sadie is watching Dr. Doolittle, a scene on a remote island where the heroine sings one of her litany of overlong songs about her unrequited love.

Suddenly I hear Sadie say, "Why don't you just kiss him?"

I love the way she gets to the point.

There's a scene like this in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, too -- the winsome soprano pours out her heart in a random, action-killing song ("Oh What A Lovely Lonely Man"). Even in the original Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory we're tormented with mom warbling "Cheer Up Charlie" as she paddles gray laundry in a huge steaming tub and generally looks poor and overworked.

Ah, musical movie shows of the '70s. How I love them.

Do you have any favorite moments to share? Awesome or groanworthy -- I want to know what I might be missing. :)
