What are your favorite movie musicals? No, Disney movies don't count! And no, a filmed live show doesn't count either!

I totally grew up on the old classic musicals and it's one of my absolute favorite movie genres. My favorite film musicals would be:

The Sound of Music
West Side Story
Singin' in the Rain
My Fair Lady
Annie
Grease
An American in Paris
The Producers [2005]
The Wizard of Oz
Cabaret
The Phantom of the Opera
Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella

What are your favorites? Let's discuss this wonderful phenomenon called movie musicals :)

Ahh, Fiddler on the Roof. I saw this a few times when I was little, and then was lucky enough to be in it this past Spring. That was an amazing experience.

The Sound of Music and Mary Poppins are two movies I really grew up on. I saw more shows recorded live than real musical movies.

My Fair Lady's a nice one...I like the Pygmalion story, though the ending is a little disappointing.

Does Gilbert and Sullivan count? :P

*reads Eru's first post carefully*
Movie musicals.... well, does Cats count?

That's my absolute favorite. I've seen it on stage a couple of times and I've got it on video, but unfortunately I haven't been able to watch it lately due to the ancientness of VHS...
I adore the dancing, the songs and the dancing... not to mention the choreography... and the dancing!! :P
