What, if any, musicals do you own...

Doggett · March 12, 2009, 11:09:56 AM

They (whoever "they" are...) say that only gay guys, and girls like musicals, I want to prove 'em wrong.

I own the following :

Blues Brothers
Blues Brother 2000
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Grease 2
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Chicago
Hairspray (the re-make)
Sweeney Todd : The Deom Barber or Fleet Street
Nightmare Before Christmas
Corpse Bride
Moulin Rouge!
Enchanted*

Only one of those do I feel embarrassed to own...
*Might not count.
I can't be the only straight dude to have musicals
C'mon, straight guys what musicals do you have.

I don't want to be accused of being sexist and homophobic so chicks and gay dudes can post too.

1. The Busby Berkeley collection., which no self respecting film collection can be without.
2. The Astaire Rodger collection (both sets)
3. Singing in the Rain.
4. You were never Lovelier and you'll Never Get Rich (Fred's two with Rita Hayworth)
5. the rest of the big Astaire films; Silk Stockings, Daddy Long Legs, Holiday Inn (vastly superior to , and often confused with, White Christmas), Funny Face, The Band Wagon, Royal Wedding , Easter Parade, Broadway Melody of 1940 (with one of the best choreographed scenes in cinema) and the That's Entertainment films.
6. Cabaret
7. All that Jazz
8. Nightmare before Christmas
9.The rest of the Gene Kelly list; An American in Paris, The Pirate,Brigadoon,Invitation to the dance (which needs dvd release), On theTown, Take me out to the ball game.
10. Fantasia, if that counts. I think it does.
11. West Side Story, Lenny's filmed version of Candide, and the recently released (and long overdue) Leonard Bernstein's 'Mass' (which was Kurt Cobain's favorite, btw).
12. Wizard of Oz.
13. Star is Born (Judy Garland and James Mason, of course).
14. Yankee Doodle Dandee
15. Across the Universe (the best in 20 plus years).
16. Moulin Rouge.
17.James Whale's Show Boat.
18. Ken Russell's Tommy.
19. Yellow Submarine, Hard Day's Night and Magical Mystery Tour.
20. Jailhouse Rock, Loving You, and King Creole.
21. Going my way. Bing Crosby is vastly underrated these days.
22. Music Man & Victor/Victoria (Robert Preston is still missed and why, oh why, didn't someone film 'Mack and Mabel'?)
23. Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Cinderella (with Lesley Ann Warren)
24. Into the Woods and Sunday in the Park with George (still in love with Bernadette Peters).
25. Blue Brothers.

I don't own them, but "Cabaret" and "All That Jazz" are two I plan on adding to my collection some day.

"Across The Universe" was wonderfully trippy, and you didn't feel bad listening to redone Beatles tunes as they worked them into the context of the film. Very good stuff.

Does "Cannibal: The Musical" count, cuz I gots that one!!

RCMerchant · March 12, 2009, 04:15:35 PM

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ex adored Olivia, so she had ALL the movies available, even "Toomorrow" which was actually kinda fun.

But "Xanadu"? <cringe and whimper>

HappyGilmore · March 12, 2009, 08:57:30 PM

Don't know if these technically 'count', as they aren't in the mold of most people's view of 'musicals'. But I count them, as they do contain about 4-5 musical sequences throughout:

1.) South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut- Singing, dancing, the songs help the story
2.) Cannibal! The Musical
3.) Team America: World Police- Damn, Matt and Trey of South Park sure do love their musicals. Three of their movies have been musicals.
4.) Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
5.) Pete's Dragon- Disney Classic.

I think that's all of the 'musicals' I own.

zombie no.one · March 12, 2009, 09:42:31 PM

does 'A Mighty Wind' count? one of my favourite films, musical or otherwise

Sigh...must there be so much hate in the world for ugly things such as Xanadu...
