Been meaning to do this for a few weeks but kept forgetting ....
What are your top 3 favourite "film musicals" of all time ....or do you hate musicals ....i love them ...have done from when i was a kid ...my 3 would be..
Of Music
Fair Lady
Poppins
Could of had a cpl more but i'll stick to them ones .....no doubt my other favourites will pop up.
singing in the rain was on my list of favourites ....watched it loads of time ...
I don't like musicals... in fact I detest the idea of musicals.
However, I was pleasantly surprised by Sweeney Todd.
maybe the subject matter and 'old London' had something to do with it?
the Lee Marvin musical western?
which was that?
You know the one... Lee's character had a bad-brother with a steel nose and a drunken horse, as well as himself.
There was a muddy street through the town.
that was good.
lp
I wore my coat, with golden lining, ahh a ahhhh
Bright colours shining, ahh ahhh wonderful and new...
:P Yes Mary Poppins is a musical and my three favorite ones are
Les Mis
Joseph
Blitz
Luv Mike
If we are talking film musicals, then my top 3 are:
1. Singing in the Rain
2. Annie
3. Moulin Rouge/Chicago
If we are talking theatre musicals, then it is:
1. Les Miserables
2. Jesus Christ Superstar
3. Chicago/Evita
I can't abide musicals. I just can't get my head round people behaving normally one moment then breaking out into song the next. Positively screwy.
Having said that, although it's not an actual musical but it does come close, my favourite film is The Blues Brothers. Bitchin' music, ridiculous car chases and bloody funny comedy.
Rocky Horror Picture Show.
West Side Story.
Dirty Dancing - does that count? If not, then Grease.
off to watch sweeney todd thats supposed to be a musical apparently
toughie this one....
would have to say
1) Bugsy Malone
2) Mary Poppins
3) Chitty Chitty bang bang
with an honourable mention for the non musical musical....blues brothers...in a class of its own....fan bloody tastic!!!!!!
to many to choose from but if I had to whittle it down it would be.
1. My Fair Lady
2. Annie
3. Grease

Seven brides for seven brothers

My top 3:
1. Bugsy Malone

3. Singing in the Rain
(with Cabaret and Chicago running very close behind these... oh and West Side Story. And Moulin Rouge.... damn this is hard!!!)

my fair lady, by far! and then Grease. Don't think that I really like any other film musical but do go and see them live as often as possible. Grease, stage version, with a bunch of girls dressed accordingly, is just an experience not to be missed.
