Musical movies

I also recommend Into the Woods!

Anika

Is there any chance of adding Chicago (2002) to the list, not sure how much it’d be your taste but it’s a great musical

Bronwyn

I for sure second this cause it was so gooood!

Also there’s a musical that y’all should also give a shot and that’s DreamGirls. Has such amazing cast and ofcourse Beyoncé hahaha

Queen Shay

You can’t get into musicals without doing the classics first so ofcourse it has to be Sound Of Music because like 🤍🥺

Queen Shay

For “Les Miserable,” the non-musical movie version w/ Liam Neeson is good

Melanie

Yes please!!! Little Shop of Horrors is so good!

Robert H

I voted for Sound Of Music! It's one of my favourite musicals! But, I am in my 30's so I guess I'm considered old now lol

Trav Gorin

If I may give another recommendation, Little Shop of Horrors is a personal favorite of mine how can you not love Rick Moranis

Young is good. Enjoy your youth because the years go by fast. I feel like I went through a wormhole and missed the last 20 years. The classics are definitely the best. It breaks my heart that the golden age of Hollywood is all but forgotten. I love that classic Norma Desmond line from Sunset Boulevard, "we didn't need words, we had faces." Today, actors just need to be willing to take their clothes off and cuss like a sailor.

Yes, this is a must, in my opinion. I honesty think that in order for Singin' in the Rain to get a chance there needs to be like a separate poll for true classics from this era, and not just the musicals. Singin' in the Rain is also a good one for them as filmmakers because it gives some history about cinema during that time. Hopefully in the future if they have more time.....

Effie

I can't believe Singin' in the Rain isn't even on there, best musical of all time imo!

Dentarthurdent

fellow young crowd here lol but voted for the Sound of Music because classics are better than more recent movies in my opinion.

Iran

Same.

I've watched The Greatest Showman approximately 2,089 times, and I love it. However, in case it wins, please keep in mind that it's not meant to be a documentary. Yes, I'm being somewhat sarcastic, but I did get the impression from some of the reviews it got that that's what people expected. Also, it's *very* over-the-top in how sentimental it is, and the story paints in very broad strokes. If you can leave your cynicism at the door, you'll enjoy it.

WastedPo

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed 'Greatest Showman' and some recent musicals but there are so many great classic musicals that always lag behind in these polls so I don't know if they'll ever get a chance.

Effie

I can't believe Sound of Music and West Side Story are lagging so far behind. I'm thinking this is a young crowd that's voting. I would have thought a good Catholic boy like James would have already seen SOM. 😊🎶

Kennith Steele

Quite honestly, these are all good and you should watch them all at some point!

I've been thinking of giving mamma Mia a second chance. I saw it when I was around ten and was so mad, mostly because I felt so let down. I used to beg my mom to take me to see the Broadway show and then when I found out it was going to be a movie I was so excited. I feel like the reason why a lot of people like it is the same reason why I didn't. Like I was obsessed with Abba, and I loved musicals so I thought mamma Mia was going to be the greatest thing I had ever seen. I'm thinking that maybe it was my age and the plot.

IN THE HEIGHTS

Samantha Miller

I'm genuinely shocked that Mama Mia has such strong support. Granted, I've never seen it, but I was under the impression it wasn't that highly regarded. (I know it was successful enough to get a sequel, but that can be deceptive.)

WastedPo

My fair Lady great recommendation Jonathan.

Linda Wightman

Mamma Mia is just fun. Yeah, there are better musicals, but the cast is so clearly enjoying themselves that it's infectious.

Sean Silence

There's some iconic scenes in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes' but honestly if Sound of Music is struggling right now it's going to be tough. There's some really great old musicals for sure though....

Effie

My favorite musical Movies

Mamma Mia is beating Les Mis, and I can’t unsee that.

Nicholas Hambruch

Honestly, there are quite a few movie adaptations of musicals that are not very good or not very faithful to the stage productions.

Leah Kotlarchyk

Hairspray is great! I second this!

Leah Kotlarchyk

Cause it’s going up on Patreon tomorrow

Write-in vote to add Hairspray next round!

electricroad

In the heights^ saw that comment and yes please. In the heights

You should absolutely watch mamma Mia!!!!!! I've rewatched some reactions probably far too many times just because how much I love it and I love the reactions.

If you're sticking to the movie versions avoid phantom of the opera! The anniversary concert is definitely the version to watch!

Ash

you should add Hairspray to your next musical poll!!

Anne

I would recommend Chicago , My Fair Lady and Evita for the next poll .

jonathan Edge

Would genuinely be thrilled for any in the poll 😊

Why is Sweeny Todd no longer on the list?

Linda Wightman

add Grease, Rocky Horror Show the original one, and Cry baby for the next poll.

PVaughn

All the movies are great, however I found the music in The Greatest Showman to be exceptional! I watch it time and time again! Hugh Jackman is fantastic in everything he does! You could do a double feature night since you have 2 Hugh Jackman movies listed. Just a thought.

Terrie Vasquez

Lots of good options! Requests for future polls: Chicago, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, Rocky Horror Picture Show

Kristin Carter

I'm hoping for Mamma Mia and The Greatest Showman . Both are fun in their own unique way . And both have really hardcore fandoms that could really tip the scales or make them both tie up in the end . Either way , the next reaction isn't gonna be as serious as the last one . Which will be great for all of us .

jonathan Edge

I will put it up next time!!! Great little musical

Write-In vote for Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. Who would not want to see Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, and Felicia Day in a Joss Whedon musical that fell mostly under the radar?

I totally voted for Sound of Music. It's definitely a classic! And Julie Andrews just nails it!

Trav Gorin

IN THE HEIGHTS. Literally by Lin Manuel Miranda, guy that made Hamilton. They just released a movie, as in a movie movie.

Connor Ellis

Definitely hoping for Les Mis since it’s such a classic and the 2012 movie was brilliant, but The Greatest showman is brilliant as well, definitely an album I still listen to.

That was my hope, to give some diverse options. I would LOVE of ya'll voted classics tho. I do want to get into those at some point

Les mis is great. Lots of action but no speaking. Be prepared for that lol

Yes to all. I love them all for different reasons. My obsession with ABBA and disco makes me lean Mamma Mia though
