Favourite montages

[beanheadmcginty]

Herman's Hermits just came on and it immediately reminded me of the romantic montage from the Naked Gun. The Rocky films of course have incredible montages. What other montages do you recommend? (anyone suggesting Team America can fuck off)

I like it when they try on clothes.

Rushmore has some excellent use of montages, featuring The Who, The Creation, and more.

EDIT: Dirty Dancing training montage.

This one's such an odd one though - it is almost as comedy as the Naked Gun one. There's a bit with a cat in it for fuck's sake! And then after all that, they're in a car together with Draco and it's revealed that Tracy is in love with him, but he isn't so ardent - he seemingly only really falls in love with her when she helps him escape Piz Gloria.

I only came in this thread to mention the Naked Gun one. "I can't believe we only met yesterday" still tickles me.

Obvious one, but...

'Ca plan pour moi' playing when the Griswolds try on clothes in European Vacation.

The rise to success of Dirk Diggler charted in a split screen montage soundtracked by The Commodores' 'Machine Gun'.

Although I do like the Ghostbusters 1 montage, I have a particular fondness for the Ghostbusters 2 "We're Back" montage:

I was a bit too young to see the original film in the cinema, but I got to go see the second film, so I've got a bit more of a personal connection to the second film and its montage because of that.

My only criticism is that it lacks ghost noshing

My only criticism is that it lacks ghost noshing

I think that's what puts me off the first one, to be honest. Also no Winston (because he joins post-montage)

This must be the happiest that former carpenter and joiner, Harrison Ford had ever been on a film shoot in his entire career.

What sort of sick bastard puts a cat right next to a fountain? Still, the bears are brilliant.

Since nobody's mentioned Wes Anderson for a few comments: Gene Hackman's childrearing montage in The Royal Tenenbaums:

One of my favorites, from Albert Brooks' debut Real Life - it helps to have seen the whole thing to get the context for some of the jokes (when I realized what Charles Grodin had to have been looking at when he shoots that look into the camera, I fell on the floor), but it's still pretty damned funny, I think (and even if it's not, I fixed the edit glitch from the last post, so fuggya).
