Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME

Has CAMELOT and OLIVER! been mentioned? I would have mentioned Oliver! , I actually prefer it to the other three sixties Best Picture musicals. But I thought it was British, and hence not eligible, given that it originally appeared in London, and the movie has a British director as well as a Britis...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME

The last four are hard to justify and Chicago is not a great musical. Fantasia , in my view, is the indispensable Disney musical. Aladdin, Pinocchio , even Alice in Wonderland are better choices than Beauty and the Beast . Concert movies deserve to be on the list ( Stop Making Sense, The Last Waltz,...
