sisters sisters there were never such devoted sisters welcome to ms mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 best duets in film musicals what a waste of a lovely night loved you time and again i would try to say for this list we'll be looking at duets from live action movie musicals and excluding any animated films [Music] is your favorite duet on this list let us know in the comments number 10 fit as a fiddle singing in the rainy for love i can jump over the motif above we're ready for loving this dance legends gene kelly and donald o'connor star in this iconic lighthearted movie filled with classic musical and dance performances this flashback scene features a duet between the two stars in snappy green checked suits as one of the first songs in the film the pair perform an impressive multitasking feat as they appear to sing play the fiddle and perform complicated choreography all at the same time it's a spectacular musical number that showcases the outstanding talents of the film stars even if the audience they're performing for doesn't seem to agree kelly and o'connor are such a terrific duo it would be hard for anyone else to compare in trying to recreate this fantastic number [Music] audiences everywhere adored us number nine you're timeless to me hairspray styles keep a change in the world's rearranging but edna you're timeless to me all you need to know about this song is that it's a surprisingly romantic duet between christopher walken and john travolta which is absolutely iconic travolta plays protagonist tracy turnblad's mother edna and walken plays tracy's father wilbur with the two of them making up one of the best married couples in movie musical history [Music] you're timeless to me wilbur's slightly misguided but still romantic attempts to convince his wife of his unconditional love for her is one of the sweetest and most memorable moments of the film you're like a broken down chevy all i need is a fresh coat of paint their mutually reaffirmed love is so touching you almost forget ednus played by the same actor who played danny in greece but i do not know i mean maybe uh maybe there's two of us right which is a testament to travolta's acting abilities number eight sisters white christmas sisters sisters there were never such devoted sisters never had to have a chaperone no sir i'm here to keep my eye on her this short and sweet duet between sisters betty and judy is a charming number about sibling rivalry that any real sisters watching can totally relate to their big blue 1950s dresses are absolutely classic but the massive feathered fans really steal the show in this performance two different faces but in tight places we think and we act as one they even come back in the most hilarious way when protagonists bob and phil perform the duet as a [Music] reprise comes between me and my sister still the original song with rosemary clooney and vera ellen is definitely the better of the two and would make the perfect karaoke duet for two classic movie musical loving sisters and lord help the sister who comes between me and my man number seven a lovely night la la land is nearly gone the lights are turning on although city of stars was the duet from this film that took home the academy award for best original song [Music] a lovely night is a more underrated duet that showcases the incredible chemistry between ryan gosling and emma stone their playful flirting transitions seamlessly into this charming musical number where we see the two unsuccessfully trying to deny their feelings for each other [Music] the song's dance break is especially impressive considering neither gosling nor stone are typically featured as dancers but they perform the simple yet captivating choreography like it comes naturally to them this scene feels just like the old hollywood musicals that inspired it interrupted only by the shocking modernity of a cell phone ringing [Music] number six take me or leave me rent every single day i walk down the street i hear people say baby it's so sweet ever since puberty everybody stares in me the small core cast of rent made for many different dynamic combinations within its various duets from the power ballad between best friends mark and roger in what you own to the romantic duet with a devastating reprise i'll cover you [Music] the movie's best and most unique duet however has to be this breakup song between joanne and maureen prompted by an argument caused when maureen flirts with another woman at her own engagement party this powerful song featuring the amazing voices of idina menzel and tracy toms is one of the most entertaining arguments ever seen on the big screen [Music] guess i'm leaving i'm gone number five come what may moulin rouge i could feel like this this jukebox musical is filled with show-stopping covers of popular songs but it's this original that lies at the romantic heart of the film the forbidden romance between christian and satine imbues this song and allows the couple to declare their love for each other suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste it all revolves around you nicole kidman and ewan mcgregor were perfectly cast and this number wonderfully showcases their wide range of talents especially in the reprise interestingly the song was originally written for another film with a tragic romance baz luhrmann's romeo and juliet which disqualified the song from consideration for a best original song oscar nomination come what may definitely deserved more recognition 20 years ago and is still underrated today [Music] number four tonight west side story only you you're the only thing i see forever in my eyes in my words and in everything i do this set in the 50s song is of course a take on the famous balcony scene from shakespeare's romeo and juliet maria and tony having met at a neighborhood dance are eager to set aside the fact that they're involved with two rival street gangs as they've essentially fallen in love at first sight tonight shooting their starry-eyed hopefulness is absolutely infectious and the risk of being caught adds just the right amount of tension to make audiences feel exactly how the two lovers feel in this moment it's a scene full of pure romance and it only makes this film's trajectory even more heartbreaking [Applause] through number three suddenly seymour little shop of horrors lift up your head wash off your mascara here take my kleenex wipe that lipstick away when shy and nerdy seymour krellborn comforts his co-worker and long-time crush audrey after the mysterious disappearance of her sadistic boyfriend the two admit their feelings for each other in this iconic duet [Music] seymour finally has a chance to show audrey he can be the kind of person she needs and audrey realizes she deserves someone who will treat her with the respect and kindness she's never truly received written by howard ashman and alan menken the renowned disney duo this song was destined to be a classic from the beginning throw in an unconventional but sweet romance and suddenly seymour is not so suddenly an iconic fan favorite [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] number two something good the sound of music perhaps i had a wicked childhood [Music] perhaps i had a miserable use this quiet reserve duet is actually filled to the brim with romance even down to the lighting of the scene while the most well-known duet from the sound of music is definitely liesel and rolf's 16 going on 17 in the gazebo i am 16 going on [Music] something good is certainly the film's true love song for here you are standing there loving maria and captain von trapp are lit from behind so their faces are completely hidden by shadows making the scene feel all the more intimate and romantic [Music] the song itself is short and simple but the lyrics tell a beautiful love story and say so much about how the couple feel about each [Music] other it's an underrated song from a classic musical and the kiss they share after the song is absolutely magical before we unveil our top pick here are a few honorable mentions lay all your

attempting to soften his own image a bit by trying to be more sporty [Music] ultimately though this song proves that although they show their commitment to each other by changing their appearances and actions and sandy has expectations they do actually really love each other as their authentic selves [Music] the song is also super fun and the carnival setting makes for some really visually interesting choreography that pairs perfectly with the catchy vocals [Music] do you agree with our picks check out this other recent clip from msmojo and be sure to subscribe and ring the bell to be
