Best performance of the Star Spangled Banner

Bonus points for me too - I really need to see that film again!

I've never been a fan of Whitney (just too much embellishment, never been my thing) and I deplored her version of the song, when the original was - to me - so much better, and so much more moving. It's like taking a high quality vanilla ice cream, then adding whipped cream with sugar, then topping it with syrup and then chocolate sprinkles. Less elegant.
