Best musical movie ever made

I would have to say Labyrinth. I'm not a big fan of musical but I really love this one cause it's so different to others. Tim Burton's musical ones don't even come close

sweeney todd is the only one that ever struck me, though i do get some laughs out of jesus christ superstar.LoG-Sacrament

I'm going with Singin' in the Rain.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand your position at all... How is this movie anything short of the perfect example of Jim Henson's incredible talent? Just because it has darker undertones in addition to some sillier asides doesn't mean it's terrible. It just means the movie has several levels on which it can entertain.

i saw it free of anything lofty to compair it to. ive never seen the play or any half way decent musicals (just jc superstar, sound of music, some muscial about the american revolution that wasnt worth remembering, and a few annoying musicals with puppets).

I cannont express how much I love The Wall.:) Even though Pink Floyd themselves disliked the film, I found it brilliant.

Phantom of the OperaLonelynight

A) Doesn't really count because it's exactly the same as the play.

B) While I love the play, it is a complete insult of the book.

DUHHHH

DUHHHH

InsomniacZombie

Yep, that is the correct answer.

The german film poster just reminded me of the german name for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail", "Ritter des Kokosnuss", meaning Knights of the coconut.

Much better title, IMO.

In my opinion two of the best are My Fair Lady and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg.

My personal favorites would be Starstruck (1982) and The GoldDiggers of 1933 although pretty much any musical by Busby Berkeley is a solid evening of entertainment in my book.

Absolutely epic win. "Shut your ****** face unca ******!" :lol:

The Nightmare Before Christmas

DUHHHH

I'm going to agree on South Park : Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.

Some honorable mentions would be The Sound of Music, Labyrinth, and Repo! The Genetic Opera.

Phantom of the paradise, South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut, and Pink Floyd's The Wall.

Wow, quite a lot here I've never heard of...some I wouldn't see...but everyone's opinion on the best will be different, so maybe the question should have been what's your favorite...so, my favorite(s) are The Sound of Music, My Fair Lady, The King and I (Yul Brynner) and The Phantom of the Opera (it is a fantastic musical...regardless of the book).

Across The Universe.MissRiotmaker

This, it was such an awesome movie. Really loved the 'Happiness is a warm gun' scene. Salma nurses...mmmmm.

The Producers (1968)

My favorites would be:

Hedwig an the Angry Inch is a great movie as well as a good musical. One of the few musicals I actually like.
