Saw the movie when I was 14. 10 years later, I'm still getting chills down my spine whenever I hear this

I was 24. However, Girl is one of the finest and most overlooked songs in the Beatles long and fantastic catalog.

To everyone who is reminded of Moulin Rouge (myself included)... I say they are both masterpieces of musical-cinematic art. They both used brilliant songs, changed the arrangements just enough, spun them into stories that touch on every emotion.. both movies are truly genious!!
