Annie Hall (1977)
The Scene: Dressed in a super-seventies jacket, eyes mascara-ed to the hilt, Annie (Diane Keaton) takes to the stage for a tinkling piano solo.
The Song: 'Seems Like Old Times', a romantic love song that would make Alvie (Woody Allen) fall head over heels for Annie if he hadn't already.
Join In When: Don't. This is Annie's moment and you'd likely spoil it.
Mrs Doubtfire (1993)
The Scene: As the opening credits of Chris Columbus' book adap roll, actor Daniel (Robin Williams) voices animated bird Pudgy.

Join In When: Everybody starts headbanging.

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
The Scene: At the close of Stanley Kubrick's war flick, we discover our soldiers traipsing through a fiery wasteland, where they all start singing.
The Song: Perhaps the least likely of army songs - 'Mickey Mouse March' - is chanted as the troupes head back to camp. Why? We have no idea.
Join In When: The song calls for you to squeakily yell "Mickey Mouse!"
