4:23James Baskett sings this Oscar-winning song as Uncle Remus in Disney's Song of the South (1946). Baskett earned an honorary Oscar but was barred from the film's segregated Atlanta premiere, and Disney has kept the movie in the vault for decades. Splash Mountain, built on its characters, became Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

More comments
- 2.“At 1:44, the paper says: 'You know, most people would just draw a bunch of lines here, but I'm writing actual words. I sure hope someone gives a shit and quotes this in their comments or something.' Hidden gem!”
- 3.“I demand a refund ASAP. I was told they don't need to eat, but they've been feeding off my fear for the last 3 months. Preferably soon – it might've found where I've been hiding.”

15.Bill Murray – Groundhog Day (diner scene)
95K Likes
3:39Best comments
1.“The CGI on this is crazy. Garfield has never looked so lifelike.”
More comments
- 2.“Kanye watches this scene every morning before going on Twitter.”
- 3.“Fun fact: Bill Murray resented Harold Ramis so much by the end of filming that he'd only communicate with him through an interpreter – who was deaf and only used sign language. Harold was used to this, so he filmed the movie in reverse: the ending first, the first half last. He knew Bill would be so fed up by then, he'd already be the jerk from the beginning of the film.”

- 3.“2012: Nice song. 2016: Oh, I didn't know this song was actually really tragic. 2020: I'm feeling so nostalgic for this song. 2026: $25 burger with $8 truffle Parmesan fries theme song.”

1.“'Oh no,' he said in a calming manner.”
More comments
- 2.“He could have shot Belial. But that would imply common sense. Instead: point the gun away and say 'Oh, sweet Jesus.' Perfect.”

1.“This is what a concert looks like in Area 51.”
More comments
- 2.“Fun fact: this song was written to be technically impossible to sing. The singer came in, read the music, and sang 85% of what the composer thought was impossible. The rest was added in post.”

- 3.“It's 1984, late autumn. My girlfriend got a job at O'Hare on 2nd shift. I'd go meet her on her break, and we'd lay on the hood of my car together watching the jets take off. Almost 40 years later, we're still together... and I still own the car.”

4:17Best comments
1.“It's so sweet that the Beatles decided to cover this Fiona Apple song. She really launched their careers.”
More comments
- 2.“A really sad fact about 'Across the Universe': about a month before he died, John Lennon said the Beatles never embraced the song – they never took the time to record it properly. It makes me happy that decades later, Fiona recorded an absolutely breathtaking version.”
- 3.“This was one of my grandma's favorite songs. We played it at her funeral after she was mauled to death by a grizzly bear. The whole family was camping when it happened. At just 9 years of age, I wasn't very fast... but I was faster than her that day. Rest in peace, Nana.”
