Best Movie Musical

[bodecea]

West Side Story here, largely due to Bernstein's score.

Best music ever. Never gets old.

Now of course, "Gee Officer Krupke" will be stuck in my head for the remainder of the day ...

My least favorite song (but silly/fun) .... not really fond of "Cool" either (it's well written etc., just not to my taste...)

Good song. This is my favorite:

Maria is my fav song....it's a tough one to sing but it just is so beautiful.

 

[Auld Phart]

None of them. I'm not ghey....


But if you want to see something in a musical......why then...


Paint your wagon is a must...



Clint Eastwood SINGS!!!!

Its remarkably horrible.......and like a good train wreck, hard to look away from....

If you misspell the word gay again I will smack the shit out of you (oh, nevermind, you like that the other way around, right...?)

Yeah I was going to mention Paint Your Wagon to the anti musical men here..... I love Lee Marvin!

It's not a misspell actually. It's the ghey that has nothing to do with sex.

Who said they had never seen any musical move in their life?

Why did you look at this thread then??????
If you were going to go see a musical, which would you choose????

Well on further review I'd go with AAIP because it's got Oscar Levant in it.

How do you know so much about Gershwin but not musicals... I just don't understand!!!!

Because I've been deeply immersed in music all my life.

But not movies. Never did get into that.

Do you like any movies?

I seem to get dragged off to one every 11 years or so on my birthday. Therefore I've seen Borat and Dances With Wolves.

Movies really don't do anything for me. Actually I'd much rather see a stage play.

No wonder you don't like movies

I love movies, but not in the theatre.
On my couch with a bottle of wine and a box of tissues

That would be me with the ending of "The King and I".

It is a very beautiful song. Love it!

THAT would actually be my 2nd favorite...
Forgot... but not sure how......

I cry when I hear "Getting To Know You" and that's one of happy songs... beautiful movie. thanks for the reminder.....

Paint my wagon was great!! I actually liked Lee doing I was Born his "voice" lent itself perfectly to that song.
Clint simply talked his way through the songs......

[The Professor]

South Pacific

Sound of Music

Carousel (for the songs If I loved You and You'll never Walk Alone).

Fiddler on the Roof

Fiddler on the Roof

Good choices

 

[Bonzi]

You'll never Walk Alone

I song I can never hear and NOT cry. A song I can't even think about and not cry....

 

[Syriusly]

My favorite of all time is WEST SIDE STORY.

What is yours, and why?

Absolutely 'Singing in the Rain.'

Gene Kelley, Donald O'Conner and Debbie Reynolds.

I can watch that movie anytime- the singing is fun- the dancing is fantastic.

After that perhaps the Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Oklahoma.

I like all of the movies your mentioned.

Silliest musical- 7 Brides for 7 Brothers.

One I liked, but many did not- Moulon Rouge.

 

[Bonzi]

Wizard of Oz

My favorite "childhood" movie. It will always be very special to me.....

I wish I had a Tin Man, Scarecrow and Cowardly Lion as my best friends.
Only difference between me and Dorothy is - Tin Man would be my favorite.

 

[Skull Pilot]

Musicals are for women and gay men

Sooooo, which is your favorite.........?

I've never seen one

Suuuuure ya haven't......
It's okay, you can be honest with us, we'll keep your secret safe.......

Seriously.

I never saw any of the movies on the list.

I have never been to a broadway show

And I don't see myself ever going to one

You never saw Grease?

Nope. Never saw it

My sister was obsessed with it she even had the soundtrack

I never want to hear any of those horrible songs again

I wouldn't go.

I never understood the concept of people spontaneously breaking out into song

I looked at the thread because I was bored

I used to look at it that way. Joss Whedon, and the South Park movie changed my mind though. Musicals can be fantastic. And when you think about it, the singing is not much more unrealistic than a rousing soundtrack behind an action sequence in a movie. It's just another way to accentuate and comment on the story as it unfolds.

 

[dblack]

Actually, I'd also nominate - in all seriousness - Joss Whedon's "Dr. Horrible"

 

[The Professor]

You'll never Walk Alone

I song I can never hear and NOT cry. A song I can't even think about and not cry....

For your enjoyment.

Exactly my thought in bold. For me when people start breaking into song the whole plot is destroyed. You can no longer imagine-along in a story; you're being told "this is not a story; this is a Hollywood production". People in the real world simply don't stop what they're doing and break into song. To me, you either tell a story, or you sing a song -- not both. I don't like being forced to switch back and forth.

I just came here to drop Bonzie's music video.

I have seen musicals and/or snippets -- as mentioned I got tricked into Les Miserables, not knowing it was a musical. But I've never seen the ones on the OP poll list.

Perhaps different people perceive stage imagination differently. I get into it, take it very seriously. For instance I cannot watch graphic violence on the screen. I'll walk right out of the theater because it hurts too much. Maybe that's why I find breaking into song annoying -- it gets in the way of the story.
