Here are five that stick out like a sore thumb...Superman: The Movie - Lois Lane talk-sings a poemHere Superman (Christopher Reeve) sweeps Lois Lane off her feet for a night-time fly above the city. In keeping with the romantic atmosphere, Lois launches into a spoken rendition of ‘Can You Read My Mind?’ and even manages to keep her stride when nearly getting hit in the face by a bird.
