I too love all those great musicals from the 50's and 60's. However, I am a big Fred Astaire fan. My fav would have to be a split vote between Swing Time and Shall We Dance.
I judge musicals based on the music (and dance), regardless of plot, acting or whatever else. The dancing is top notch of course but there is also some of the greatest songs ever in those two musicals.
Here are some selected songs:
Swing Time (Jerome Kern)
The Way You Look Tonight
A Fine Romance
Never Gonna Dance
Pick Yourself Up
Shall We Dance (George Gershwin)
Let's Call the Whole Thing Off
They Can't Take That Away From Me
Shall We Dance?
They All Laughed
Astaire was a limited singer but I can't stand any versions of the songs but the originals.
BTW, I liked Grease II more than Grease. Plus, I liked The Wiz more than The Wizard of Oz.:b
GIR, UNLEASH THE MONKEY!
