Top 3 Musical Performances (1:02:16)
Often times when you think about “musical performances” in film, you think about great musicals such as Singin’ in the Rain or The Sound of Music. However, for this list, we did not consider traditional musicals in the vein of those films, but rather we considered the musical components from narrative dramas that heavily influenced its characters in one way or another. And even more specifically, we did not look at the acting performance per se (although that’s a part of it), but rather the performance of the music itself and how that drives certain scenes or sequences. So, a lot of criteria this week but it made for an interesting look at music in film. That said, what would be your Top 3?
