The Top Musicals



1) reynolds, o'connor and kelly in singing in the rain Singin' In The Rain
1952

It has everything - great cast including Gene Kelly at his magnificent best, a wonderful romantic story and great songs and dance routines, two of which have passed into folklore for their inventive brilliance.
2) wizard of oz Wizard of Oz
1939

The film has rightly proved to be one of the classics of Hollywood musicals with comedy and fairy tale besides. It is still the movie for which Judy Garland is best remembered.
3) garland and mason in A Star is Born A Star is Born
1954

A matinee idol whose career is on the wane, meets a showgirl when he drunkenly stumbles into her act one night. A friendship blossoms into romance before tensions increase as her career takes off while his continues to plummet. Judy Garland's triumphant comeback.
4) An American In Paris An American in Paris
1954

One of MGM's most celebrated musicals. It won 6 Academy awards including Best Picture, and features lavish sets and costumes, tremendous Technicolor cinematography, and a romantic love story set to Gershwin music.
5) meet me in St Louis Meet Me in St Louis
1944
Marking the beginning of the golden age of MGM musicals, this is a delightful, classic, nostalgic, poignant, and romanticized musical film - and one of the greatest musicals ever made.
6) the king and I The King and I
1956

The film was based on the 1951 Broadway musical and was nominated for nine Academy Awards, winning five. It is memorable for the timeless Rodgers and Hammerstein music and songs including Shall We Dance?, Getting to Know You, Hello, Young Lovers, and I Whistle a Happy Tune.
7) 42nd Street 42nd Street
1933

A behind the scenes musical story of life on Broadway. It was nominated for a Best Picture (and Sound Recording) Oscar and features all the stars of the day in all their glory. It is fast moving, refreshing and a sheer joy to watch.
8) astaire in Top Hat Top Hat
1938

Easily the greatest of the Astaire-Rogers musicals, 'Top Hat' is the perfect blend of light comedy and dancing genius. It boasts the greatest score that Irving Berlin ever wrote, featuring the romantic 'Cheek to Cheek', 'The Piccolino' and the title song, 'Top Hat, White Tie and Tails.'
9) the bandwagon The Band Wagon
1953

Bandwagon is the story of an aging musical star who wants to star in a Broadway play that will restart his career. The film which popularized the song "That's Entertainment!", which became a standard, is regarded as one of MGM's best musical comedies.
10) yankee doodle dandy Yankee Doodle Dandy
1942

A biographical film about George M. Cohan, played by James Cagney, a fellow Irish-American who had been a song-and-dance man himself early in his career. His natural dance style, physique and unusual singing style were ideal for the part.
