The only thing I would disagree with is that The Muppet Movie isn’t a non-musical film. There are several songs in it!

That version of Crying is so beautiful and haunting, and the only version of anything I’ve heard that comes close to doing justice to a Roy Orbison song.

Since you have to remove Spinal Tap and the muppets, I would like to submit Bill Murray singing “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding” in Lost In Translation.

“Destination Anywhere” in The Commitments preceded Almost Famous by almost a decade, and was infinitely more sincere.
