The 10 Best Musical Movies of All Time

Music makes a movie that much better, and when you are relying entirely on sound, you had better get it right. Here are my top 10 film musicals.

Strange that Sound of Music was not in top 10. I would put that at the top, even. You certainly should have included West Side Story. Hard to imagine any list without those two. I would disagree with Rent as well. I have a personal preference for Guys and Dolls and My Fair Lady. I would pick those over Rent, Newsies (though I love Newsies) and Moulin Rouge. Mary Poppins, anyone?

Nice list! (Reply to this comment)

You really have a great eye for movies and I'm so glad you include old movies, too. I think we all owe a little something to Yul Brynner, Deborah Karr, Julie Andrews, Judy Garland, Gene Kelly, etc. We agree on so much of those! I was literally jumping for joy when Chicago won Best Picture! I can't wait to see more of your reviews & thanks for the list. There were a few on there I haven't seen, but based on your review, they're now on my to do list (like Rent & Oliver).

We'll see what I come up with, I was drafting my own musical list but I can tell you it's gonna be a bit different! Some great choices :) You'll have to find out which ones whenever I write up my list!

I look forward to seeing your list :)

My list, though, would include A Hard Day's Night. That stands above any other rock musical. I could never understand the appeal of Moulin Rouge, though. Thanks for sharing!

Honestly I had a hard time with The Beatles movies. Maybe it is just because I wasn't part of their Generation. I love their music, and could listen to it anytime, but their movies just didn't work for me.

that includes two of my favorites.....Moulin Rouge and Chicago...the others are pretty good too...
I've got to start doing some lists.:)

Cheers

I love Moulin Rouge a lot, but Rent is moving up there fast. I think I could end up in the minority of people that love that movie, but I am willing to admit to it :) (Unlike Stephen who will probably list Grease 2 on his list ;)

P.S. Just kidding Stephen

Which ones do you loathe? I am guessing it is the ones with kids as the lead singers. ;)

A list (Reply to this comment)

that puzzlingly combines some movies that I like and some that I loathe, and leaves out my favorite, "Cabaret."
