- "That's How You Know", Enchanted 15
- "You Can't Stop The Beat", Hairspray 15
- Confrontation at Funland, The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters 15

- "When Your Mind's Made Up", Once 5
- Anton Ego's Proust moment, Ratatouille 5
- Naked skateboarding, The Simpsons Movie 5

Last year was a pretty good one for the musicals or music-related films. Did you see Control? I dare say you could have included one of the performance scenes from there too.
None of our scenes overlap, but Bart's Junk just barely missed out on my list. I can still remember the audience's collective gasp that dissolved into laughter.
You voted for the beach scene in ATONEMENT, but you think it was meant to be taken at face-value?
I had three musical numbers on my shortlist of 21 scenes; 2 made the final cut. The one that didn't was Aishwarya Rai's awesomely sexy raindance number from GURU (it's here, though the reproduction looks like crap.). In addition there were two other scenes I shortlisted that, while not musical numbers per se were dominated and defined by music (a sense of what I mean by that can be gotten from the one of those two scenes that didn't make the final cut: "Hurdy-Gurdy Man" from ZODIAC).
Of these five numbers ... not one overlaps with the five musical scenes in Donna's ballot.
