I think I previously wrote about my love of musicals. Musicals make me happy. What more can you ask for in a movie?
Here are the top 25 musicals according to EW.com -
1. The Wizard of Oz (1939)
2. West Side Story (1961)
3. Singin' in the Rain (1952)
4. Cabaret (1972)
5. Mary Poppins (1964)
6. The Band Wagon (1953)
7. A Hard Day's Night (1964)
8. South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut
9. Meet Me in St. Louis (1944)
10. Love Me Tonight (1932)
11. An American in Paris (1951)
12. Swing Time (1936)
13. On the Town (1949)
14. Grease (1978)
15. Hairspray (2007)
16. A Star Is Born (1954)
17. Chicago (2002)
18. The Busby Berkeley Disc (2006 compilation)
19. The Sound of Music (1965)
20. Funny Girl (1968)
21. Beauty and the Beast (1991)
22. Gigi (1958)
23. The Music Man (1962)
24. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (1954)
25. Once (2006)
Personaly, I think their list is way off. Any list of best musicals that includes South Park loses me completely. The Sound of Music definitely belongs in the top five. And I would further argue that a top 25 list should include Guys and Dolls, Easter Parade and My Fair Lady (Although, perhaps they are not including it because Audrey Hepburn didn't actually do the singing.)
I am guessing that they guy they made put together the list is not a big fan of musicals? What do you say?
