Moulin Rouge

Hurl your metro chants if you will, I ****ing love this film. So much life, colours, singing... it's great. A reasonably simple story told in a most outrageous way.

And who'd have thought McGreggor and Kidman could sing so well. Ok, so they paid for the best training, but still, it works so well on screen. The way they drop in well known songs is daft as a brush, but brilliantly clever. I cant think of anything like it.

This has been a public service announcement from the Ministry of Randomness.

I watched it under duress a few years ago when my missus wanted to watch it. Much to my surprise I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Ditto. Bloody women. They get me to like chick-flicks

I completely agree with you - awesome movie. I didn't think I'd like it at all tbh but it's very cool

I love "Your Song"

Daz · 13-08-2006, 16:32

I love to sing it

The whole soundtrack is brilliant. El Tango de Roxanne in particular really is impressive.

/makes note to listen to Lady Marmalade when getting ready too

Daz · 13-08-2006, 16:36

Oh, their 'Rhythm of the Night' cover is spot on for that sort of thing. And 'Because We Can'

Kell_ee001 · 13-08-2006, 16:43

Damnit!

I'm going to have to unpack more now to find and watch it!

My dance school did a show based around this film that included the whole soundtrack, and what a show it was
