What are your favorite movie musicals?

[Metalhead]

Here are trailers for some of my favorites.

Little Shop of Horror comes to mind, though seeing it live is much better.

Sound of Music

 

[Forest Cat]

The Music Man is pretty good.



And of course Little Shop of Horrors, 1986 version with Steve Martin

 

[Darkkin]

I love the Sound of Music and Phantom of the Opera. I've seen both shows live as well, Phantom is amazing both ways. Sound of Music is much better as a film adaptation, and Julie Andrews has always been a favourite of mine. My Fair Lady, as well.

My Fair Lady
Kiss Me Kate
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
Mary Poppins

And eagerly waiting for the Wicked musical movie..

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

Sweeny Todd is No. 1 with me, then there is Into the Woods, and perhaps South Pacific (my favorite song; You've Got to Be Carefully Taught - Contrast that with; Children Will Listen.)

Who doesn't love a musical about Stockholm Syndrome (×7)? But haven't seen Paint Your Wagon yet

You will hear Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin singing.

 

[Judge]

"42nd Street" (1933) The movie or the play...love that one for some whacky reason.

The Blues Brothers.

Anything with Doris Day
Singing in the Rain
Most Disney Cartoon musicals
Most Disney live-action musicals

[lovely_darlingprettybaby]

My all time favourites are Grease, Sound of music, Xanadu, Wizard of Oz and Singing in the rain
Honourable mentions are Annie, My fair lady, Mary Poppins and I like fame as well.
My favourite Disney ones are The little mermaid and beauty and the beast.
I like the soundtracks of Oliver but watching it is really sad and violent to me how he kills her, Carousel but it is too extremely sad to watch at times and west side story has great music but is too sappy for me.

Here are trailers for some of my favorites.

I recently rediscovered the Marx Brothers (not watched since college). Not actually musicals, strictly speaking, but they always have songs and musical interludes.

 

[Crossbreed]

I have played the Tin Man in The Wizard Of Oz complete with singing parts, at age 10. We toured our school district in southern California.
The following year, I played the king/father of the princess in a musical version of The Frog Prince.

"I could have been a contender...!"

Sprite: Turbo Sport 7 (1996)

 

[Dagan]

Everyone has listed the classics, but a couple of other ones that I really liked in the past ten years or so...

Stage Fright
Suck
Anna And The Apocalypse.

These are all horror movies, too.

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

Have tickets for this October to see Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along. Daniel Radcliff plays the lead.

 

[Ken]

My favorite musical in the last few years is The Greatest Showman.
Love the music, love the story.
