A belated congratulations to our fellow USA-ers, on the 4th of July!
I've decided commemorate America's birthday by - naturally - way of a movie poll. What's the most the most memorable rendition of the Star Spangled Banner in a film? It can be either because of the quality of the performance itself (or lack thereof), or the way it's used in the scene, or whatever strikes you fancy.
I'm obviously taking Enrico Pallazzo in The Naked Gun.
Not from a movie. Cheating.

At least is wasn't unavoidable.
Anyway, hope it was a good 4th as maybe it's the last one as a democratic Republic :wacko:

I learned on Cheers that America lost the War of Independence.
I'm going off the board - Roseann Barr's rendition at a baseball game circa 1990:

The question was "memorable", not "good" - right?
Jaws was set over July 4th, right?

Whitney Houston's rendition at Super Bowl XXV is probably the most famous version I can think of.
