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. :)

Such lovely movie moments! I think my favorite is Eliza Dolittle at the racetrack after Professor Higgins had been working on her speech. She shouts out in vaguely refined English "MOVE YOUR RUDDY ARSE!" to the riders! And more in that movie, anything from "Just you wait 'enry 'iggens, just you wait!" Oh how I loved that! You've probably seen it, it's just one of my favorites. Also "The Inspector General" with Danny Kaye.
