Moving a little away from the upcoming film premieres, the JustLady.ru editorial staff arranged a small brainstorm and recalled several films in which the actors sing, unexpectedly, sparklingly, and even better than the original. We made the task more difficult and discarded all musicals and pictures, songs for which were written specially.

Diligently trying to push into the far corner of the memory the annoyingly popping up "Across the Universe" based on the songs of The Beatles, "Mamma MIA!" on the songs of ABBA, "Cabaret", "The Bodyguard" and "Moon River" by Audrey Hepburn, we remembered and reviewed our favorite excerpts from the films, and also learned a lot of new things.

So, for example, the most popular "singing scene" turned out to be an excerpt from the unknown for the editors of JL, but beloved in the States (judging by the number of parodies on YouTube), the comedy "Step Brothers". In it, a family wearing seat belts sings Guns N 'Roses' Sweet Child O 'Mine' a cappella.

Many of us love to sing in the shower. Woody Allen in Roman Adventures discovered that sometimes, standing under streams of water and soaping ourselves, we sing even better than in public. If you can't bring a song out of a person outside the soul, then really, why bring him out of there? The hero Fabio Armiglato performs the part of Canio in the opera "Pagliacci", standing in the shower cubicle right on the stage.

Without straying far from the classics, we recalled the aria of Diva Plavalaguna from The Fifth Element. Few people know that one of the most memorable moments in the movie with the blue alien is not a specially written song. Everything that happens to Diva in the film is in fact a subtle allusion to the scene with the crazy heroine from the opera Lucia di Lammermmur, ripping her stomach out in a fit of madness. As we remember, four elements end up in the stomach of the Plavalaguna, which also has to be ripped open.

We still didn't manage to get away from The Beatles. The imperishable creations of Liverpudlians seem to be asking themselves for the script. Either "Yesterday" is sung by the drunken Mr. Bean, then the Archangel Michael himself, performed by the already singing John Travolta, suddenly begins to hum "All You Need Is Love".

But that's not all. The most memorable moment from "Heartbreakers" for all Russian-speaking viewers was the scene with Sigourney Weaver in a Russian pub, where she failed to perform the folk "Korobochka", but burned out with "Back In USSR" with a Russian accent.

Continuing the theme of rock 'n' roll inserts in basically non-musical films, of course, I remember Michael J. Fox in Back to the Future, who sang Johnny B. Good to people from the 50s a little ahead of time.

Not quite a song (although the actors sing a little at the very beginning), but a piece of solyag from Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" unexpectedly sounds at the funeral of the father of Orlando Bloom's character in the movie "Elizabethtown". But this chipper on electric guitars, given the circumstances, eventually turns into something.

In modern cinema, of course, there are a lot of scenes in which the characters are excellent and not very good at karaoke. But the first thing that comes to mind in this regard is an excerpt from Lost in Translation with tired Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson in a pink wig.

What girl does not dream of a boyfriend singing under the balcony of a serenade! And where if not in romantic comedies to find all this. Among the many rom-coms, we remembered an episode from the movie "More than Love", where Ashton Kutcher sings under the windows "I'll Be There For You" by John Bon Jovi, whom his girlfriend loves so much.

Well, and as a joyful note on which I would like to end - a scene from Peyton Reed's painting "Always Say YES". The character of Jim Carrey, who, according to the plot of the film, cannot be said "no", could not once refuse to play the guitar. And he hardly suspected how useful in his life the only song he had learned, Third Eye Blind "Jumper". I want to watch this episode forever.
