Singin' In The Rain
The Blue Angel
The Sound Of Music
42nd Street
Perceval Le Gallois
Dancer In The Dark
West Side Story
A Star Is Born (1954)
Hedwig And The Angry Inch
My Fair Lady

Others, Grease, Guys and Dolls, Anchors Aweigh, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Cradle Will Rock, Broadway Melody of 1940, Yankee Doodle Dandy, The Wicker Man

I'm deficient in seeing hardly any Fred Astaire (and none of the best regarded ones), Busby Berkely, and no Bob Fosse films.

Lew Crippen · Nov 5, 2003

In no particular order:

·Singin’ in the Rain
·West Side Story
·Dancer in the Dark
·The Young Girls of Rochefort
·The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
·Topsy-Turvy
·My Fair Lady
·The Wizard of Oz
·Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

"I got the horse right here, his name is 'Paul Revere'"...

Lew Crippen · Nov 7, 2003

I'm surprised Oklahoma! and The Music Man haven't been mentioned yet...

The Music Man is tremendous fun, with a lot of singable songs with great lyrics.

And if I were listing important or great stage musicals, Oklahoma! would be near the top of my list. Too bad that the film suffers from wooden direction and a use of color filters that now seem dated, but that I also hated at the time.
