A few of my ‘musical movie moments’ picks this week come from films with more than one potential selection. Writer-director Sean Durkin’s The Iron Claw offered up two strong candidates.

The first comes when Mike Von Erich (Stanley Simmons), the youngest of four brothers in a family of professional wrestlers, plays a local gig with his band. Mike’s parents don’t support his musical aspirations, so his brothers help him sneak out of the house to make it to the party.

Once there, Mike performs the song ‘Live That Way Forever,’ written for the film by Richard Reed Parry (who also scored the film) and his wife, Laurel Sprengelmeyer. His brothers cheer him on, demonstrating the fraternal bond that will be fractured by the film’s tragic turn.

That’s a great moment, but I’m going with a more traditional pick today: a good old-fashioned sports movie montage. This sequence, set to Rush’s ‘Tom Sawyer,’ finds the brothers training, competing, succeeding, but also succumbing to substance abuse and the pressure to excel.

‘Tom Sawyer’ was used by Kerry Von Erich as entrance music during one stretch of his career, so it has a real-world tie-in as well as being a kick-ass piece of music accompanying some kick-ass footage.

Unfortunately, this whole clip doesn’t currently live online. The best I could find is this video that features the beginning of the montage before segueing to the film’s trailer. You’ll have to see the movie to catch the rest (and I highly recommend you do).
