Name one good musical

perplexis said:
Yeah I even remember liking the song in the film!
I think I want to draw a distinction between films that could be proper films intercut with music videos and films that choose to convey their entire content via the medium of (too often very cheesy and excessively instrumented) songs.

You want to redefine the 'term' musical so that you don't have to admit that you actually like them really? ;)
 
I remember once hearing that there is such a thing as "Alice in Wonderland- A Musical Porno". That's probably a hoot.
Except I don't like porn or musicals. Probably to someone else's taste though!
 
No-one has mentioned The King & I, the original :eek: Seen the films many times and saw it on stage too. I think Yul Bryner was :cool:

Glad to see Rocky Horror finally got a mention too, seen that a couple of times on stage and I have to say Jason Donovan was good as Frankenfurter.

I once saw Snow White and the Seven Dwarves porn film.

No music!

Aah, that would be the one where she goes down a hole and finds a potion that says 'eat me'.

I LOVE Gary Wilmott!

Honey though? Oh I guess she must be good or she wouldn't have been hired.

*goes to look at ticket prices*

Oooh I mean the tour btw! Sorry I should've said that. I'm not sure who is in the West End one atm, it might be Jerry actually...rank.

I actually preferred the tour version to the West End version I saw.

I wish I'd seen it when Darius was Billy Flynn! How amazing would that be?!!:cool:

Ignore that. It doesn't make sense. You can't eat potions anyway.:(

Around the same time(month) as the Blues Brothers was originally released in the UK there was a soft-porn film out called Cinderalla & Her Snapping Pussy...maybies that's where you got confused? :)

I know this. :(
 
I can't even be bothered to nominate on this thread btw. There are too many in my brain. TOO many.

If I went on Mastermind my specialist subject would be Musicals. And I would win.
 
I remember Piaf being v good.:cool:

Pam Gems' classic 1978 play, the life of one of the 20th century's greatest singers is retold vividly capturing the glamour and squalor, the rise and fall of this complex, fragile and enigmatic performer.

Hmmm... you may have a point I suppose.
Perhaps I won't bother. :(

I saw an amateur production of this a few months ago, moomoo. LOVED it. Bizarre, cheesy, toe tapping goodness imo. I want to see the real one now!
 
Little shop of horrors
Rocky horror show
Return to the forbidden planet

Oh and Cabaret... "Diddly did-de-dee, two ladies..." lol

:cool::cool:
 
I love musicals, especially Rogers and Hammerstein.

If you want to see something good in London at the moment go and see Forbidden Broadway at the Menier or A Little Night Music at the Garrick.
 
Mostly I can't stand them, but these I like...

On The Town
Guys n Dolls
One From The Heart

and New York, New York (not sure if that one really counts as a proper musical though)

eta: and on tv, the Dennis Potter ones -
Pennies From Heaven
The Singing Detective
 
Okay - where to start...in no particular order

Chicago
The Threepenny Opera
A Little Night Music
Sweeney Todd
The King and I
Little Shop of Horrors
Sunday in the Park with George
The Baker's Wife
Into the Woods
Me and My Girl
Oliver
Camelot
Poppy
Hello Dolly
Cabaret
70 Girls 70
Follies
The Producers
Spamalot
Fiddler on the Roof

To be honest it is probably easier for me to list the musicals I don't like, which are

Grease
Chess
Grease
Blood Brothers
Grease
 
On the Town & Cabaret are the best US musicals. Les parapluies de Cherbourg the best non-US. All are utterly superb, and anyone who says they dont like musicals is either brain dead or totally heartless, if not both.
 
Singin' in the Rain
Sweeney Todd
Cabaret
Lady in the Dark
Carousel
Guys and Dolls
Sweet Charity
A Little Night Music
Into the Woods
Follies
An American in Paris
Oklahoma!
Pacific Overtures
A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum
Moulin Rouge
almost any Fred Astaire film
