Battle of Movie Moments: I'm Tired vs. Batty Rap

Your Champion

I'm Tired (Blazing Saddles)

VS

Your Challenger

Batty Rap (Fern Gully: The Last Rainforest)

The Case for I'm Tired (1):
In a movie filled with laughs, this number by Lili von Shtupp (Madeline Kahn) is both a breather and another joke, as Lili sings about how she exhausted she is by the constant attention of her admirers.

Battle of Movie Moments: Train Wreck vs. I'm Tired

Your Champion

Train Wreck (Super 8)

VS

Your Challenger

I'm So Tired (Blazing Saddles)

The Case for Train Wreck (1):
While quite and contemplative in the first part, Super 8 shifts into high gear during this moment, with a train derailment that is a symphony of destruction.  While one might argue with how believable it is for all of the kids to be alive by the end of it, that doesn't take away from the thrill of the moment, nor the mystery of the end...

Battle of Movie Moments: Pirin Tablets vs. Good Morning, Baltimore vs. Train Wreck

Your Champion

Pirin Tablets (The Birdcage)

VS

Your Champion

Good Morning, Baltimore (Hairspray)

VS

Your Challenger

Train Wreck (Super 8)

The Case for Pirin Tablets (2):

Sometimes you need to cater to the whims of your star, and sometimes you just want her to calm down and do her damn job.  In The Birdcage, Armand (Robin Williams) is trying to get the latter result when he is assisted by a moment of brilliance from Agador (Hank Azaria), who offers Starina (Nathan Lane) some 'Pirin Tablets' to help her perform.

The Case for Good Morning, Baltimore (1):

Movie musicals are a crapshoot:  For every Wizard of Oz or West Side Story, there are a half dozen Rock of Ages or Mamma Mias.  So going into a new movie musical can cause trepidation for one who loves them.  Which is why this opening number from Hairspray is so wonderful: by the time she's on the garbage truck, you know the movie is in good hands, so you can sit back and enjoy the movie.

VS

Your Challenger

Pirin Tablets (The Birdcage)

The Case for The Tale of Mister Babadook (1):

Sometimes you read a book so scary you cannot finish it, as Amelia (Essie Davis) finds when reading a children's book her son Samual (Noah Wiseman) picks out one night.  From this point on, both mother and child find themselves haunted by the creature, forgetting that once he has been invited in, you cannot get rid of him...

Your Champion

Ridiculous Revenge (The Emperor's New Groove)

VS

Your Challenger

The Tale of Mister Babadook (The Babadook)

The Case for Ridiculous Revenge (2):

This bit from The Emperor's New Groove is Yzma at her best:  Long, convoluted revenge followed by a pragmatic approach, all while beautifully delivered by Eartha Kitt.  Paired with a unique bit of animation, this sequence is one of the more hilarious parts of the movie.

Make Me a Woman (Mrs. Doubtfire)

The Case for Opera Battle (5):
Because sometimes the only appropriate battle music is opera.

The Case for Make Me a Woman:

Roger Ebert once said the true sign of a lazy Robin Williams movie was putting him in front of a mirror and having him do his voices.  Mrs. Doubtfire has this happen twice, but can one really argue with this moment, where he and his brother (played by Harvey Fierstein) work together to create a face for him to wear?

If there is one constant in the musicals of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, it is that the villain will get a heartfelt song full of want and loneliness.  And in South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, Satan gets this soaring number about how he wants to go 'Up There' to rule Earth.
