Two I was surprised they didn't include:
1. The ragtime music of Scott Joplin (adapted by Marvin Hamlisch) in "The Sting."
2. Madonna's "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" from "Evita."

What about the Mancini-Mercer classic "Charade"? Or "It Might As Well Be Spring", one of the loveliest songs Rodgers and Hammerstein ever wrote? (even though "State Fair", which it came from, wasn't a masterpiece) Or "I Enjoy Being A Girl" from "Flower Drum Song" or "South Pacific's" "There Is Nothin' Like A Dame"? And how about "You're All The World To Me" from "Royal Wedding" (where Fred danced on the ceiling) and "We're A Couple of Swells" and "Stepping Out With My Baby" from "Easter Parade"? Worst of all, the exclusion of one of my all-time favorites, the haunting "Somewhere In The Night" by Myrow and Gordon, from 1946's "Three Little Girls In Blue". If it's not that well-known, it deserves to be, and sure as heck deserves to be on the list!

Excellent!

this is exactly why AFI does these lists
to foment debate, they know that everyone has an opinion
and that theirs is not necessarily correct

it'll make you go back and watch and think about these great films
and the great music in them

I agree...there were good ones left out
and I thought that some should have been higher.
it's very subjective

although, I was thinking that 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' better
be number one or I was gonna throw a fit...I love that song
and Judy Garland does it justice...perfection!

there were 11 Disney songs on the top 100
Judy Garland was on like 6 of them
Julie Andrews had 3
Barbara Streisand had 5
Fred Astaire had 3
Gene Kelly had 3
Marni Nixon was there twice as a dub
once for Deborah Kerr in 'The King and I' and once for Audrey Hepburn in 'My Fair Lady'
damn, talent really rises to the top
