Skeleton Twins Is 10! Reminisce Over Surprise Musical Moments From the Comedy-Drama and Other Fest Faves

By Jessica Herndon

We all have moments from movies that we love to rewatch. Some of the most unforgettable and adored scenes in indie movies are the ones we least suspect. Michael Madsen dancing around to Stealers Wheel in Reservoir Dogs. Jeff Bridges doing the mashed potato dance in The Big Lebowski. Come to think of it, many of these favorite moments rely on a surprise musical moment presenting itself to spice things up.

In this storied tradition, the lip-synch scene from The Skeleton Twins - a touching, bittersweet comedy-drama starring Kristen Wiig and Bill Hader as estranged siblings - is high on this writer's list and always worth another play.

Today marks the 10th anniversary of the hidden gem film's theatrical release. The Skeleton Twins premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, won the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, and revealed another side of the Saturday Night Live alums. Even now, a decade later, I still get the same sense of elation as I groove along with Maggie (Wiig) and Milo (Hader) as they pretend to belt out to Starship's Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.
