What are your favorite movie musicals?

[Thozuf]

...someone mentioned Xanadu and I am thrilled

 

[Gerald Wilgus]

Nobody has included La La Land. I really enjoy it. The opening and closing scenes are absolutely perfect.

Can a musical open better than this? And this was pure film. No adaptation from stage.

 

[Au Naturel]

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.

Oh yeah. Anything with Olivia Newton John is a classic!

And I forgot about The Wizard of Oz!

I love Olivia Newton John, she was a great singer as well as a pretty good dancer.
Very pretty and top person.
She just had a gentle grace and charisma.
