Best Movie Musical

[Bonzi]

My favorite of all time is WEST SIDE STORY.

What is yours, and why?

In this order: Marry Poppins, My Fair Lady, The Music Man, and Fiddler.

Marry Poppins is my favorite movie of all time, it reminds me of being a kid. Julie Andrews is simply amazing.

My husband's favorite is Mary Poppins also!
It's interesting too cause he's a real manly, sports guy and I always thought that was unusual, but, it is a feel good movie, brings you back to your childhood.... it's never been my favorite but like it much better now and after having seen Saving Mr. Banks (though, I hear that movie was not really true to form....)

I voted West Side Story but South Pacific (not on your list) is a close second.

never seen it.

I would place "OLIVER!" a close second, again largely due to the score/songs.

Best music ever. Never gets old.

I have not seen it - almost watched it the other night....I am ashamed to say I have not seen Fiddler on the Roof yet either ....

I'm seen quite a few though... my mom's favorites were:

Oklahoma!
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers; and
Brigadoon

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

 

[Auld Phart]

Top 5

Oliver, Fiddler on the Roof, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, Sound of Music.

Liked the music in West Side Story, but the idea of gangs dancing lame

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

At least she didn't call them 'talkies' in her OP. lol.

I tried to mix it up with some "current" movies (I guess Chicago is not that current) there are too many to list!

I'm 51!

50 here, I bet you your mom back in the 60s had that movie on television and watched it with her. Like I did with my mom because it was so memorable, it got burned into my mind because it was so fascinating back then on the small screen.
