Greetings Movie Fans! Musicals have always been my favorite "go to" movie genre, since I was a kid. Of all the musicals I enjoy, I find myself returning to six: Bye Bye Birdie, Cabaret, Jesus Christ Superstar, Hair, West Side Story, and Fiddler on the Roof. I watched these six films more than others, and probably purchased them first on DVD. They are all different, and I haven't really pondered why I choose these all the time. I think a big part of my choices are that they each represent an important historical time and many of the songs (with the exception of Bye Bye Birdie, which is pure fun) contain powerful words and messages. One or two songs in five of the films always bring me to tears! I would definitely want these musicals if I was stranded on a desert island!! :-)
