'Your Song' (Moulin Rouge!)
One for the romantics, this. With Nicole Kidman's Satine gurning around on a bed like a hyperactive child, Ewan McGregor's Christian decides to shut her up the only way he knows how: by breaking into a song that won't be written for at least another 80 years. Anyway, in typical restrained Baz Luhrmann fashion, McGregor's admirable handling of one of Sir Elton's finest tracks ends up as a shamelessly theatrical, swooning power-ballad, as he and Satine dance on top of clouds, while Luciano Pavarotti - playing the moon - provides suitable background accompaniment. It should be hideous, it should be ghastly, it should be awful - and yet, somehow, it works. Much better than the one with David Beckham, anyway.
