Top Nine Movie Musicals

As we left off talking about film and musicals I thought I would throw my hat in the ring on my favorites, this could either be an adaptation of a stage show, or a movie that has plenty of moments where the characters break into song. The only rule is no animated features, as that deserves a list itself. Noe here is my list of my favorite movie musicals, and share yours in the comments, this topic will definitely be revisited in the future, Because there are only eight, and Indeed to fix that as there are way more classic movie musicals that i have not seen in a long time or seen period., so this is not the last well see of this topic. But for now here are my favorites


9. Music Man ( 1962) - This is a near perfect stage adaption, Robert Preston is the definitive Harold Hill, this movie feels like an expanded version of the stage, very classic

8. Funny Girl- It's Streisand, Enough Said about this timeless piece

7. West Side Story -  ( Snaps Fingers) my first movie musical, the Romeo and Juliet of the streets, well acted, great music, tragic.

6. Les Miserables-  Though flawed, the good parts are really good, the original song is also a pleasant treat, and Hugh Jackman is awesome in this...

5. Mary Poppins- The Julie Andrews classic that is practically perfect in every way, that is still amazing for kids and adults alike

4. Hairspray-  A note for note adaptation, every actor does well, you won;t want to stop the beat after watching this, an incredible take on such a fun story about chasing your dreams no matter what, plus Zac Efron is amazing in this...

3. The Greatest Showman-  Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron are awesome in this.... also the music is incredible and fun, the story is simple yet inspiring, it is nothing short of amazing

2. La La Land-  Here's to the fools who dream, and what a beautiful dream this movie is, from the amazing music, the fantastic romance between Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone, this movie is a gem, and like " Greatest Showman" Became one of my favorite films after seeing it, as well as an instant soundtrack purchase, two and three are incredible and were so close.

1. Willy Wonka and The  Chocolate Factory -  My childhood favorite, and one of my favorite movies of all time, the music is classic and well known, " Pure Imagination" is still beautiful, the story is fun  ( minus the nightmare tunnel) , and this is one of Gene Wydlers best perfoamnces hands down, a classic that spans generations
