L’American Film Institute ha recentemente stilato una cassifica delle piu’ belle canzoni da film.
Al primo posto Over the raimbow eccelso tema de Il mago di OZ del 1939 (stranamente l’unica canzone che sto intonare decentemente nonostante la difficolta’).
Seconda classificata As time goes by, la struggente canzone di Ilsa e Rick in Casablanca (1942).
Sul terzo gradino del podio Singin’ In The Rain dell’omonimo musical con Gene Kelly datato 1952.
Over the Rainbow
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over that rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops high above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Birds fly over that rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow
Why, oh, why can’t I?
