Top 10 Best Sister Act Movie Moments

[@art.of.verser]

"Joyful, Joyful" and "Ball of Confusion" are iconic to me in the sequel!!! In high school, my classmates and I actually reenacted that chorus competition scene during a talent show!!! I will never forget it!!!

[@akeyiawatts1575]

My middle school choir did too

[@art.of.verser]

@@akeyiawatts1575 nice!!! ❤️

[@ghunter182003]

My college jazz choir re-enacted "Joyful Joyful" and one guy had a hubcap around his neck as his 'bling'...it was hilariously AWESOME!

[@darkecofreak23]

My choir class in HS got shown this whenever the teacher needed to do bookkeeping.

[@michaeloberg3018]

Maggie Smith's line: "I lied." ...without pause or filtration. One of the best responses in movie history...

[@jillpatrickfulleros8329]

that "When Jesus WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASHED..." always gets me teary-eyed.

[@christabellll]

I mean!!!! Loved it!!!!

[@pennykeller3048]

Same here

[@LaBella06]

Yesss!!!! Boy sannng that song!

[@art.of.verser]

Ditto! It's heartwarming!!! ❤️

[@andreatrejo4474]

yes!!! I'm agree with you

[@jzzygrl88]

If you want to be somebody, If you want to go somewhere, You got to wake up and pay attention.

[@christabellll]

I’ve always remembered this!

[@ELmayberry]

yesss 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@lynnevetter]

I still get the chills every time I heard Lauryn sing that Joyful, Joyful solo as well as her duet with Tanya Blount "his eye is on the sparrow". Soooo good.

[@ralphangelotactay2952]

The "I will follow him" part is ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!

[@trinaq]

These movies were my childhood growing up. I miss Whoopi Goldberg, but loved that she played the Mother Superior in the Broadway musical! 🎶♥️

[@tasnimfaruque164]

She's so legend

[@DesShirley]

She's still alive by the way

[@IljaHordist]

"Try to blend in." (The Mother Superior to the nuns in the casino while they are all in their habit)

[@ginalahue8694]

That always cracked me up when I watch that scene...especially when the one nun gets caught playing a slot machine in the casino! 🤣

[@isabelleblanchet3694]

And the part where Vince calls one of the nun baby in the casino and when she turns around it's the one that was in charge of the choir and she replies "Yes sweetheart!" Makes me crack up every time.

[@KBelkHighlights]

Clearly that high note was supposed to be #1. It still gives me chills ❤️

[@denardoellisjr]

Sister Act 3 need to hurry up and be made soon...I freakin' LOVE this series

[@arielle8010]

AYE AYE!!!!!

[@bahamutskingdom]

One of the greatest film duos of my time. Back in the day when we got new fresh ideas from films. Hit or miss, it was something to see. Even the sequels were amazing. Not some remake, redo, or the like as it is done today. Great laughs, but also some very powerful movies too.

[@vinthecartoonist6878]

I love this line from sister act 2 "Go with God Crispy"

[@aprilbess4074]

“If you want to be somebody, and you want to go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention.” Favorite quote of the franchise.

[@shavonfrazier1388]

it’s “wake up” and pay attention

[@aprilbess4074]

@@shavonfrazier1388 thank you I just fixed it. I know the quote I just didn’t realize I made an error thanks again!

[@plumdutchess]

The fact that she told only two of the nuns how to fix their singing and all of a sudden the entire choir sounds amazing.

[@JigInsane]

When Lauryn Hill and Tanya Blount started singing Eye on the Sparrow...omg!!

[@ladybugradio1988]

@JigInsane Ikr? That part always touches my heart and leaves me breathless.

[@ginalahue8694]

It's way better on the soundtrack! Makes me cry.

[@ChristoAbrie]

a cool moment in-conjunction with the "I Will Follow Him" performance is seeing Doloris wearing her nun-outfit without the headpiece, allowing for her big Afro to return in the final act, it was a nice contrast after seeing Whoopi in the nun's habit for the majority of the movie. Plus it kinda made sense, she was putting on a show for the Pope, so she needed to look the part. My fav parts are the reworking of the classic hymns and every time Doloris tried to act like a nun

[@kop-uv2dx]

during my high school final music exam we had Oh Happy Day (the slow version) on our set list... what our music teach didn't know was that we snuck in extra practice with the music-students from the lower classes in order pull off the Sister Act version of Oh Happy Day... the final music exam was always sung in concert/art-gallery form (art-students filled the gallery with their final exam projects) parents & fellow students got to go through the gallery to see the final projects of the art-students while listening to the final exam set list of the music students... everyone in the hall was so enthusiastic of our Oh Happy Day version that they asked for more and a lot of the students that we'd enlisted as band from the lower classes knew Joyful joyful & I will follow him... cue an entire Sister Act encore in a hall filled with people either singing along or just going bananas (in a good way)... met my music teacher years later purely coincidental and he said that people at school were still talking about that set-list... (sadly he suddenly died shortly after we met, way too young... his funeral was during the height of covid restrictions and was, therefore, online... hundreds of his old students watched it and created a digital guestbook so everyone could enter his or her memory of the teacher/wish/condolences to the teacher's family... later they had a thank-you note posted in every newspaper in the country just to reach everyone who contributed to the digital guestbook to tell them that they'd decided to make an official print of the book along with several pictures of the teacher and that people could purchase it if they wished, with all proceeds going to the More Music in Class initiative of Queen Maxima of the Netherlands... it was so unexpected... I'll remember our "Bokito-gorilla" teacher forever (he kinda had the imposing features/figure of a Western Lowland Gorilla and he'd had the nickname gorilla for years, the moment Bokito escaped in Rotterdam Zoo it changed to Bokito and it stuck... he loved it according to his wife and children)...

[@milla0722]

The bunch of nuns crossing the street in Reno is absolutely hysterical 😂

[@PTSmash]

Every time I watched the movie with my family and we got to this scene, my Dad always said, "Look, a bunch of penguins!"

[@siriparanormal]

"I'm going to the little Nuns Room Nosey"! I still say this when I have to go.

[@MrGabeanator]

wow

[@arielle8010]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@KikiLoc1485]

My favorite song in the first movie: “Hail Holy Queen”, in part two Lauryn Hill’s cover: “Joyful Joyful”. ❤️🙏🏽😇

[@tatianarendon2704]

Yeah

[@lindildeev5721]

"Hail Holy Queen" in the first, "Oh Happy Day" in the second.

[@mariposaorofusionfoodchann7573]

"Salveeeeee Regina!!!" Loved that scene but the favorite one was at the singing competition, "Joyful Joyful"-It introduced us to a teenage Lauryn Hill! My childhood memories!

[@mickeywampole]

I wish you had included His Eye Is On The Sparrow in the list, it's just breathtaking. Otherwise, well done! Joyful, Joyful is my favorite number though. I still love watching the Sister Act movies all these years later. Never get old in my book.

[@brentnomdoe2569]

I will follow HIM. When Sister Mary Robert hits that note. 👌🏻❤️

[@allanfelipe766]

It's a short scene, but I really like when Dolores is a kid in Catholic school, and she is asked the names of the Apostles, and she says "John, Paul, George and Ringo". It never fails to crack me up, it's so clever

[@almalovebooks7338]

My favourite scenes first movie: when sister Mary Roberts gives Dolores the alarm clock. "Get out of bed you Daisy head" still makes me smile. The second movie: when she gets the students to repeat "if you want to be somebody, if you want to go somewhere you better wake up and pay attention." And the students make it their own by adding rhythm. I still sing it when I'm feeling like I need a positive affirmation

[@a.d.3788]

You know, these are objectively great movies that hold up even in 2022. There is absolutely nothing offensive in these movies, they ultimately promote wholesome messages, and do the ultimate job of any movie you could want to make: they’re entertaining!

[@joshualostcoconut9337]

100% Agreed ❤

[@lonellfletcher]

Sister Act is one the best comedies ever, and Sister Act 2 has some of the best musical numbers. Love!!!!!!!!

[@unfiltered_aries1619]

I will follow him, Ain't no Mountain High Enough, Joyful, Joyful, & Oh Happy Day I kno all these songs word for word.

[@suebob16]

Thank you for including Ain't No Mountain High Enough from Sister Act 2. What a great way to bring back the cast one last time!

[@rubyhay450]

Love the Sister Act movies! The songs are my favorite songs from them! That boy who hits the high note always gets me!

[@rubyhay450]

Oh and the lady who played Mary Robert didn't have a singing voice so she was dubbed for the songs in both movies apparently.

[@DeeL3]

AAAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHHHH MY FAVE!!!! "Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit" is my absolute all time favorite movie ever, I'm so excited y'all did this list!!!

[@chriscecil3555]

The Greatest Medley Ever Told opening from Sister Act 2 was the best musical number 😁

[@jarimikkola2426]

I absolutely loved all of the SisterAct films....I only wish there were MORE! of them Perhaps the right actress (or actor) will step forward to make us all cheer! Sister Act... I just can't get enough!!! hmmm Brother Act sounds like an interesting title as well for a sequal! Why not?

[@catcollector6195]

Supposedly #3 is in the works.

[@charlotte241000]

I wanted sister Mary Patrick Dancing to gimmie gimmie gravy tonight! to be in this list or the scene outside ware the girls are teaching them to dance and she jumps in the middle with her own moves so funny 😂

[@julied9359]

I just love them both, and am still watching today

[@SaharaSweetDesert]

I love how the nuns pushed up on the pilot with prayer lmbo

[@rleutz13]

Mother Superior (entering the casino): Sister brace yourselves, spread out and look for Mary Clarence (beat) t..try to blend in!

[@anyviolet]

what a great couple of movies. Lots of fun and so wholesome! Nice to see them getting some attn in 2021!

[@sammbabazi2849]

This has left me teary, I swear and I watched the first Sister Act in 1993, so u can guess my age! My highlights are of course Whoopi Goldberg scenes, Lauryn Hill's sweet voice on Holy holy and God in heaven, that boy Ahmal's high note like Tevin Campbell. Where are they both? I am.a big fan of musicals! 😀😀😀

[@pantherusnz]

That performance by the choir of "Hail Holy Queen" will always be my favourite moment of the movies, I've rewatched it so many times

[@jaredrodriguez3578]

-You can't fall in love with a nun. *Me when I saw Sister Mary Robert*: Man, she is beautiful, how is her personality and how beautiful she looks when she sings, her smile, everything, I just fell in love 😍😍😍

[@aalikane]

You know thats not actually Wendy McKenna's singing voice, right?

[@definitely_not_aria]

I saw this exact same comment from a different channel. yes, mackenna/mary robert is a very beautiful woman but to really copy paste it into any video of sister act that u see? damn

[@definitely_not_aria]

​@@aalikane yeah thats sadly true

[@alexandrakimbink3198]

You should have definitely included Mr. Crisp, Father Maurice and the friars chasing Deloris and the choir after learning about her true identity. Their whole plot is hilarious starting with Father Thomas' crazy driving and then locking in Mr. Crisp with Father Wolfgang's big sausage

[@buggs4987]

We don’t have the balls for that🤣

[@pinkknight9]

That one was hilarious.

[@jamalvargas6146]

One of the Greatest Disney Films under the Touchstone pictures banner besides Father of the Bride and Down and Out In Beverly Hills

[@mirofarrakis]

Yes I've loved these movies since I was a kid! "Hail Holy Queen" and "I Will Follow Him" always get me emotional. Also YES that high note in "O Happy Day" gets me every time!!

[@killuhkween]

2 of my favorite movies! ❤

[@scottmatthias5142]

I love the free style the kids did in the beginning of Sister Act 2. Then Sister Mary Clarence chimes in with "I got the flow, you all gotta go! So get your bags up so we could go go go! Oooo! Aaaaaa! Now! Thank you!"😁

[@godisgood1359]

😂😂😂

[@jessicabougouneau8310]

The first singing scene of Sister Act is priceless. Gives you a feel of her character and it is brilliant!

[@thelonelyghosts9004]

Can’t wait to see the 3rd one. Here’s hoping its more like the first than the second

[@aby_lev89]

Love these movies so much! It's so 90's 😃😃😃

[@kerriethompson2073]

I loved these movies when I was a teen. My Jr. High choir even did a medley of the songs from the movie for our showcase. Damn I'm old! Lol

[@Katlady6505]

I truly love both movies Sister Act and Sister Act 2.....I never laughed so hard in my life

[@PokhrajRoy.]

ALL. THE. SONGS. ARE. BRILLIANT.

[@Gwen3344]

Dolores is trying to convince the Mother Superior to hide her in the convent. Mother Superior wants nothing to do with the idea (or Dolores): Dolores: Sister, people are trying to kill me! Mother Superior: Anyone who's ever met you I imagine. Dolores smirks. Maggie Smith delivered that line with impeccable timing; which, of course, she always does. This dialog definitely would be on my list of all-time favorite movie insults (if I had one). I laugh out loud whenever I think of it.

[@lydaadcock6848]

One of my favourite scenes from Sister act 1, is when the nuns are in Reno in the night club and they have spread out to confuse the men chasing Delores, when Vince comes up behind a nun, thinking it's Delores and he says to her "Hey babe" and Sr Mary Lazarus turns around and says" Yes sweetheart?"

[@arielle8010]

[@rachelfishbein1478]

That "Oh Happy Day" clip was most of America through election week 2020.

[@Octobris]

These films never fail to make me bawl. Once I spent the whole second half of the second one crying my eyes out. Which is kind if weird, considering it's supposed to be a heartwarming comedy, but what can you do as an aspiring musician who never got the support these kids got from Deloris? 💙

[@spartacus7216]

I wish that inspirational speech Dolores gave the kids backstage was mentioned in this list. The one where they wanted to quit. That was really a touching scene.

[@roberta93]

I'm a simple person. I see sister act. I click.

[@smwd2591]

I watched Sister act 1 and 2 not a long ago and I was amazed! My favourite Sister act song is I will follow him. The first movie is great, but the sequel is nailed it! And the reason is number 3 which is my favourite Sister act moment. And btw, Whoopi Goldberg is my favourite actress.

[@Sivibi7564]

My memorable scenes Shoulder action on My God Sister Alma plays piano smiling all the time!!!! "Boogie woogieee on the piano!!!!" Hahahaha "IF YOU WANNA BE SOMEBODY" Jam!!!! Aghhhhhhhhh that was sooo coooooollllll

[@a1ac953]

[@monsterhanna6691]

Yeah, I'm fine with most of the choices, but either they need to re-work it or make a Part 2; #1 didn't make much sense and the high note moment and first performance from SA:2 should've been somewhere on the list.
