20 Most Epic Movie Moments Of 2017

14. Gaston's Song - Beauty & The Beast

You can certainly argue that Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast didn't nail the majesty of many of the animated classic's best songs, but "Gaston"? Absolutely crushed it.

Luke Evans and Josh Gad do terrific work as Gaston and LeFou throughout the film, but no better than here, bringing the cartoonish insanity of the original song to impressive life, complete with some sneaky gay subtext that hilariously got people oddly up in arms.

The music, the staging and the performances combine to make this the most straight-up entertaining rendition of any classic song from the movie.

It's a lot harder to convince audiences that Gaston's the size of a barge in a live-action movie, but they did their damn best.
