|
![]() | Funny Face [1957] [DVD]
Buy used from: £1.52 Another Astaire musical, this one with Audrey Hepburn as an inhibited bookstore clerk and Fred as a fashion photographer. Also included Kay Thompson's (author of the Eloise books) forray ino the genre
|
![]() | The Wizard Of Oz [1939] [DVD]
Buy used from: £25.00 In any list where musicals are mentioned, The Wiz of Oz must also be mentioned. Sixteen year old Garland's performance is very impressive, as are those of co-stars Haley, Lahr, and Bolger
|
![]() | Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (1971) [DVD]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.37 Gene Wilder's fantastic perfrmance in WW&TCF is my all-time favorite performance of his (and yes, I have seen other movies he's been in)
|
![]() | Oliver! [DVD] [1968]
Buy new: £4.48 / Used from: £2.75 With great songs like "As Long As He Needs Me" and "Consider Yourself" show that Bart's masterful show won't die
|
![]() | Fiddler On The Roof [DVD] [1971]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.52 I used to vehemently dislike this movie, because I thought the suject matter was far too grim for a musical (that was before I saw Carousel) but now I see it for the gem it is
|
![]() | The King And I [DVD] [1956]
Buy used from: £1.20 Yul Brynner is the king in this movie and both he and Deborah Kerr are totally believable. This movie is far superior to later efforts like Anna and the King
|
![]() | My Fair Lady [DVD] [1965]
Buy used from: £8.39 "c'mon Dover! Move your bloomin' arse!" I'm quite sure that the first time everyone heard those lines they rushed to cover their heads with a pillow in disbelief that such a gaffe could be made at Asc
|
![]() | West Side Story [1961] [DVD]
Buy used from: £2.29 This immortal Sondheim-Bernstien musical boasts an impressive score and a great cast
|
![]() | The Sound Of Music (2 Disc Special Edition) [1965] [DVD]
Buy used from: £4.99 Who can make a list of great movie musicals without mentioning one Julie Andrews film? Not me certainly. Julie's turn in this movie perfectly complimented the performance of Christopher Plummer's life
|
![]() | ANNIE GET YOUR GUN [DVD]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.50 "There's no people like show people . . ." there really aren't, and boy does this movie ever show that! Betty Hutton is wonderful, much better than judy would have been (she quit b/c of health reasons
|
![]() | Guys And Dolls [DVD] [1955]
Buy new: £6.98 / Used from: £1.45 Marlon Brando cannot sing, but even that can't ruin one of the greatest musicals ever. Vivian blaine is great as hypochondriac adelaide, and who can forget ol' blue eyes?
|
![]() | White Christmas [DVD] [2001]
Buy used from: £14.99 One of many Bing Crosby films that feature the classic "White Christmas", but this is my favorite. Danny Kaye is hilarious and Rosemary Clooney sounds great
|
![]() | Camelot [DVD] [1967]
Buy new: £4.98 / Used from: £2.49 "The Simple Joys of maidenhood" is very possibly one of the funniest songs ever written. See the late Richard Harris as King Arthur
|
![]() | Till The Clouds Roll By [DVD] [1946]
Buy used from: £0.78 The plot is based on the life of Jerome Kern (Showboat's lyricist for the uninitiated) that has wonderful performances of my favorite songs
|
![]() | A Chorus Line [DVD] [1985]
Buy used from: £4.09 The definitive backstage musical. It's inferior to the stage show, but still has great music like "One" and "Nothing". Not for smaller children
|
![]() | Grease [DVD] [1978]
Buy new: £2.98 / Used from: £1.59 Said to be the last great movie musical, John Travolta nd Stockared Channing are unforgettable as Danny and Rizzo. Jeff Conway and Olivia N-J are very forgettable, as N-J's voice is weak and unexpress
|
![]() | Cabaret - 30th Anniversary Special Edition [1972] [DVD]
Buy new: £3.98 / Used from: £2.98 Easily the saddest musical ever, Liza minelli is great as Sally, as is Joel Greyas the emcee
|
![]() | Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat [DVD] [1999]
Buy new: £8.08 / Used from: £6.25 The narrator is the best part of this musical, perky, fun, and with a great belt
|
![]() | Evita [DVD] [1997]
Buy new: £5.38 / Used from: £1.25 Antonio Banderas is amazing as Che, almost as good as David Essex was when he performed it with (I think) Elaine Paige in the 70s.
|
![]() | Hello Dolly [DVD] [1969]
Buy used from: £19.98 Babs was great in this, as were Walter Matthau and a young MICHAEL CRAWFORD!!
