Favourite song NOT in the movie

Mine at the moment is "Christmas Bells". How about everyone else?

Christmas Bells


...Although I'm STILL bitter that they cut out half of "GoodBye Love"
LittleMissCenterStage

Yeah, I like that other half of Goodbye Love, too. Christmas Bells and We're Okay, too. I also get mad whenever they speak a lyric. UGH. Evil or Very Mad
Gwen

Christmas Bells. Definately.
LittleGavroche

The second half of "Goodbye Love" is definitely my favorite lyrics in the whole show. The relationship between Mark and Roger is my favorite, and could have been expanded so much more.

Oooh, what about Voice Mails? I always loved Mark's Mom's voice mail. It really drove me crazy hearing it spoken... same with all of the other parts that were spoken, like the beginning of "You'll See" and things like that. It was ssssoooo weird hearing it that way!

But, my favorite would be Contact. I love the song, but it wouldn't translate well to the screen, and plus they wanted a 14A rating... if Contact was in there, it would have definitely been 18A.

(I don't know what the ratings are titled across the globe, but in Canada, 14A means you have to be 14 years old to see it, and 18A means you have to be 18 or be with someone that's 18 to see it.)

Christmas Bells - We're Okay - Happy New Year. i cant pick just one!

however, Im hoping one day they'll release a special edition of some sort that'll put the rest of "Goodbye Love" in the film... as well as 'My cat fell' from the deleted scenes.

omg chirstmas bells is awesome but my abesolute favourite that was cut from the movie was basically all of the finale! i aesolutely LOVE that, it has a little bit of everything, christmas bells, tune ups, santa fe, light my candle, goodbye love tunes and i should tell you tunes. i loved it live, for some reason just the tune up from that part makes me emotional...dont ask.

I would also definitely have to say "Christmas Bells." I didn't know that this song was cut from the movie when I went to see it, and it was SUCH a big disappointment.

But there are so many songs/sung parts that they cut that I absolutely love, so it's hard to pick. Aaah I hate the Rent movie, lol. Evil or Very Mad

Cristmas bells.

Me and my friend went to see it a week after it came out ((It was sold out every time we tried to get tickets)) and when we realized they didn't put Christmas bells in, we threw things at the screen and almost go kicked out....

Christmas Bells.

When I heard it wasn't in the movie I got depressed. Hah.
blue wind

"goodbye love" and "halloween"

i love christmas bells, but i feel like it works way better on stage than it ever would in a movie...in a movie it would just seem random and weird.
Pannic

Christmas Bells, by a landslide.
Asha

Halloween, though it was in the DVD bonus features...

AND GOODBYE LOVE!!! It broke my heart when it wasn't there!!!
Mango

I wish they had put Halloween in the movie. I had wanted "Goodbye Love" to be in there, too, but after watching it in the Bonus Features, I changed my mind.
2Day4u2morrow4me

I love Halloween and the Voice Mails. I hate the movie but I have to admit I saw the movie before the show and I was a movie fan but now I don't like movie fans and I can't call myself a Renthead because I've only seem the show 10 times so I call me self a Rent Asshole.
HarmonicSoul

I love "Halloween" and the second half of "Goodbye Love". "Christmas Bells" is also really awesome when done on stage.

I pretty much mentioned what everyone else did. XD
LittleGavroche

The second half of "Goodbye Love," by far. Without it, half of Mark and Roger's relationship was gone. And it gives so much more meaning to "What You Own."

I agree. It makes the story so much easier to follow. Confused
musikal_geek

It was so weird hearing some of it spoken! Like, the voicemail from Mrs. Cohen, and the little scene with Mark, Roger, and Benny near the beginning... during the movie I was like "Okay... even if you haven't heard the OBCR you MUST notice that they are rhyming here..." Surprised

And the whole scene right before Over the Moon... I found that to be completely awkward.

Mine is Tuneup#2. I also like the Voicemails as well.

Contact.

Second half of Goodbye Love. I cry every time I hear it. I identify too much with both those characters, so their exchange there just hurts. I've only seen the portion they cut from the movie, but it really, really hurts.
ktp68

Christmas Bells. Though I have absolutely NO idea how it could translate to the screen - my eyes were basically whipping all over the place at the show. But still. Character development all over.
*BroadwayLights*

"You Okay, Honey?" is my fave. Very Happy
tragre6945

The second half of Goodbye Love and Christmas Bells are tied for that position.
reedzee

Christmas Bells/Second half of Goodbye Love as well.
bwayobsessed

You Okay Honey? It's just so sweet, I just have to smile everytime I hear it.
Brock07

Christmas Bells, especially the part between Collins and Angel. So beautiful. Sometimes I just listen to that part and skip the rest of the song.

I also love the voice mails. They make me laugh everytime.
Berger

You Okay Honey? and Christmas Bells are the two songs that I wish were in film. The first thing I did when I got the DVD was look for the deleted scene's and see if they were on there but they weren't.

I was so angry it came to that part in the movie and i started screaming profanities! I was so angry! My mother had never seen the show and was getting really ticked off cuz i was yelling at the television! If you haven't guessed yet GoodBye Love is one of my favorite songs! It says so much without actually singing it.
lilmissbroadway

Halloween, Christmas Bells, Tune Up #1 and Full Goodbye Love are my favorites right now. I agree the song-into-dialouge was very awkward.

I also agree the voicemails in the movie should have been sang.
