reboudreaux Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks to TCM, am getting to see many of the musicals mentioned on your list for the first time- had kind of shied away from this genre. Took a chance on a rainy day, and watched Kiss Me Kate and was so delighted and engaged, have been catching up on classic musicals ever since! Singin in the Rain would have to be the ultimate musical for me Kiss Me Kate Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Alexander's Ragtime Band Meet Me in St Louis A Star is Born (w/Judy Garland) Easter Parade Also love Howard Keel, Judy Garland, Ann Miller... Will have to check out some of the other titles mentioned in this thread - Link to post Share on other sites

RichfromCarbondale Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 My Top 10, not necessarily in order: West Side Story Bye Bye Birdy South Pacific Singing in the Rain Sound of Music White Christmas An American in Paris That's Entertainment, I and II That's Dancing I realize that some may not regard the last 3 selections as true musicals, since they are compendiums or whatever -- but to me, showcasing the best selections from the best musicals made them immensely entertaining. And since they are movies featuring song and dance, well, that makes them musicals, right? Link to post Share on other sites
