![]() Ledger’s grand romantic gesture, though, features an unexpectedly crisp performance of Frankie Valli’s crooned classic. Heath Ledger, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” in Ten Things I Hate About You : Most of Shakespeare’s comedies were meant to include a little music, and this adaptation does a pretty good job in that quarter.“If it’s never been new and it never gets old, it’s a folk song.” Isaac opening this cyclical film (the whole movie is one big folk song: refrain->sad stuff->more sad stuff->refrain) singing about his death, which-in the song-has already occurred, is too hair-raisingly perfect not to be on the list. Oscar Isaac’s “Hang Me, Oh Hang Me” in Inside Llewyn Davis: There are plenty of decent vocal performances in movies, but this is one of the few that I remember being a real surprise.Miller’s no crooner, but a good folk song is a perfectly acceptable substitute for a great voice. Roger Miller’s “Not In Nottingham” in Disney’s Robin Hood: An education in mournful sadness not likely to be soon forgotten by most children who knew the movie-never to be forgotten by me.This week, top five vocal performances from a motion picture.
