The Sirens - Pete (John Turturro) forces Everett (George Clooney) to pull over when he hears the enchanting sounds of three lovely sirens singing in the river.

As you probably know, the Coen brothers’ 2000 comedy was based on Homer’s epic poem the Odyssey, with George Clooney as Ulysses Everett McGill, the modern Odysseus. Somewhat surprisingly, at the time of filming, neither brother had actually read the classic poem — in fact, the only person on set who had was actor Tim Blake Nelson, who holds a degree in Classics from Brown University.
